Seek you the GrailCheese please
Nicey replies: John,

I certainly remember cheese footballs and concur that Huntley and Palmer were the main protagonists in this regard. I'm sure Marks and Spencer also had their own label ones. I think that could get cheese and celery ones also, at at Christmas time they liked to travel in tins. From what I remember of them the smelt quite a lot like rampant foot odor. This meant that unless you really liked them you had to get yourself quite psyched up or moderately drunk before tucking in. Much the same thing is true of oysters, I feel. There was also a round cheesy potato snack, cheese balls/puffs with bright orange cheesy stuff on it which smelt worse, so much so that I won't even mention what it reminded me of.

I haven't seen them in years, I think they were displaced from their ecological snacking niche by Scampi fries, much in the way Grey Squirrels have kicked out the red ones.

Nicey replies: Yep, they sound like the sort of iced biscuits that many people recall but can't name. Iced biscuits used to be way more popular than they are today although I didn't get that many at home, if at all, I certainly remember having biscuits such as you describe when visiting friends or relatives. Hopefully your detailed recollection will jog some memories.

Nicey replies: Yes we have just returned this very afternoon from a biscuit safari through the Republic, where I admired some Jacob's Digestives in a petrol station in Carrick-upon-Shannon before settling for the big pack of fig rolls on special offer. I was also very interested to see Jacob's branded Café Noir biscuits. I could have stayed for many minutes longer but the Wife was waiting outside in the car with the younger members of staff.

Thanks, thats the second report we've had of proper Animal biscuits in boxes. I'll keep a sharp look out for some next time I'm buying Marmite.
