#biscuits

Traditionally distributed on Easter Monday at Biddenden in Kent, these biscuits, dating from c. 1875, commemorate conjoined twins Mary & Eliza Chulkhurst, who were born in 1100 & died together in 1134. From a rich family, they bequeathed land to the church to help the poor.

I periodically rant (sorry long-time followers) about how someone visiting Europe means for me a chance to get some PickUps back with them!

They've made me a bit of a connoisseur of this style of cookie as I've been unable to find anything remotely close after searching for _many_ years. They're unavailable in North America.

How are they unique? It's a perfect balance between crisp butter-cookie wafers and thick, tempered chocolate slab between them.

We didn't have any biscuits.
And I wanted to eat biscuits.
So I made some biscuits - shortbread - and now they are cooling and it is taking A BAJILLION YEARS* !

I WANNA EAT THE COOKIE NOOOOOW !
