Nicey replies: Tim,

Yours is a recognised condition which is why we have the cheese icon.

Nicey replies: Yes too many catered skiing holidays with enforced Lipton's Yellow Label when the body is crying out for PG.


Gareth Evans
The French
Nicey replies: Right first things first you need to settle down a bit. Nice biscuits can most likely be attributed to Huntley and Palmers back in their heyday between the wars. Back then they made about 400 different sorts of biscuits so its hardly surprising some of the names are a bit random. Perhaps the desiccated coconut was seen as evocative of the palm trees of the Côte d'Azur. Due to the fact that nobody in France has ever heard of them then I think its perfectly fine to pronounce them as 'Nice' as in Ice, I enjoy the irony.

Much of the reasoning behind biscuit naming is unknown, lost to the mists of time, so don't loose too much sleep over it.


Tricia Dearborn
The French
Nicey replies: That sounds like a local variation on the 'langues des chats'. You do have to watch out for the Liptons Yellow Label tea it can confuse the palette, but it is better than nothing, just.
