Oreo - Birthday Party (birthday cake flavoured Oreo biscuits) - 154g

The British have their teatime classics: McVitie's Digestives and Hobnobs, Rich Tea, Custard Creams and Bourbon Creams, Crawford's Garibaldi, butter shortbread, and of course, Jaffa Cakes. Everyone has their favorite, and the debate will never be settled.

This is the quintessential English biscuit: made with wholemeal flour, lightly sweetened, with a crumbly texture. It originated in the 19th century, and its name comes from the idea that it aided digestion. It can be enjoyed plain, topped with chocolate or caramel, and also makes an excellent cheesecake base.

A very serious question across the Channel: it was even settled by a British court in 1991, which ruled that Jaffa Cake was indeed a cake. Its soft sponge hardens as it ages, like a cake, whereas a biscuit softens. Cake or biscuit, it remains delicious.

It's the very British art of dipping a biscuit in a cup of tea. Rich Teas and Digestives are the champions of this technique. The secret: dip it just enough to soften the biscuit, without letting it fall into the cup.

In the UK, "pudding" often refers to the dessert in general, but also to a family of soft cakes cooked by steaming or baking: sticky toffee pudding, spotted dick, Christmas pudding … They are served hot, ideally topped with custard.

This is the British version of custard, thicker and more vanilla-flavored. It's perfect with crumbles, puddings, and fruit tarts, served hot or cold. Bird's custard powder, invented in 1837 without eggs, remains the most famous today. Ambrosia offers it ready to serve.
