Fox's Fabulous Dark Chocolate & Ginger Cookies - 175g

Fox's has been filling British biscuit tins for generations, and ginger is about as old a biscuit flavour as Britain has. Pair it with dark chocolate and you get the cookie that turns up at the office tea round and quietly vanishes before eleven.

People in Canada come looking for this one by name. Not a ginger cookie, not a chocolate cookie: this one, the Fox's one, the one that tasted right with a mug of builder's tea at your nan's or on a wet afternoon at your desk. Some flavours you only miss once you cannot just pop to the shop for them.

The 175g packet lives happily in the cupboard. Once it is open, fold it over or tip it into a tin and it keeps well, assuming it lasts long enough to need keeping. Dunking is allowed, though a cookie this size asks for a decent mug and a bit of nerve.

Fox's makes a whole family of biscuits, and most people who reach for this packet are also reaching for a box of proper British tea. Keep a second packet back. You will be glad of it.
