Peter McGinness Thin Arrowroot Review	Rather a slight upon a 'medicinal' biscuit methinks. Arrowroot biscuits were the prequel to modern treatment for diarrhoea, often caused by poor diet or bad water in centuries past. Like cornflour arrowroot is a good thickener and less likely to form concrete 'stools' than say kaolin. They also make a good 'dipping' biscuit and, as you should know, don't disintegrate in your tea. They might also toughen up your teeth if you are prepared to take the challenge - dry. Whilst they may not be the most flavoursome biscuit, with a rather earthy, ginger taste, the texture is more satisfying than say a rich tea biscuit for those of us with real teeth. Kind regards Pete
	Nicey replies: I wouldn't have thought that the conditions in the human gut would not have been favorable to creating the starchy arrowroot colloid as the unraveling of the molecules in the starch grains requires higher temperatures than 37 degrees. I'm guessing of course.
Brian Barratt	Mr Nicey,   We have sexism, racism, ageism. But do we now detect DOGISM on your site? Not a single mention of dog biscuits! Watch out -- you'll have the canine PC crusade threatening you with placards "Equal Rights For Dogs" and "Dogs Are Biscuit Lovers Too", even "Chi Chi Loves Her Choccy".   From An Anonymous Canophile
Linus Ingoldsby	Dear Nicey, I love your site, and am relieved to see someone finally tackle biscuits on the internet in a forceful and hard hitting style.   However, I'm curious, do you have any plans for retrobiscuit reviews? Those biscuits of yesteryear which through no fault of their own, have faded from public knowledge. I speak of Cobbett's Oat Crunchies, and similar.   Wonderful site.
	Nicey replies: Actually I consider quite a lot of the biscuits we review to be essentially retro biscuits. However, we are always on the look out for more.
Seth Phillips	Hello, i am a new visitor to your site, and let me tell you i was amazed! now first off i am an american, simple minded perhaps, but! i love your site more than any other! Biscuits (we call them cookies) have not been given enough attention in our public, and i am quite ashamed! I rather enjoy having tea and cookies (biscuits) and sitting down every day, i could have been english! ;) well anyway have a great day! i love your site and have made it half way through your archives of Biscuit reviews. its a shame we do not get very many of the exotic kinds of cookies in my area other wise i would eat more, then again maybe thats a good thing, because i have to keep up my shape for my wife... :) May you always have a surpluss of biscuits, tea, and thing to sit on
	Nicey replies: There is a big world of biscuits out there, perhaps you could indulge yourself in a bit of biscuit tourism, we European types are quite fond of that. Then again armed with our biscuit review information you may now spot some imported UK biccies.
Heidi Thomas	Dear Nicey, I have been a lifelong afficionado of the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer, and have introduced many another consumer to it's charms. Today, in my local supermarket, I was intrigued to notice an unfamiliar product on the shelves. Has anyone come across the Tunnock's Caramel Log Wafer With Roasted Coconut? They are presented in an all-gold wrapper, featuring the slogan "Crunchie Biscuit, Munchie Caramel" (sic) and appear to be sold as an eight-pack only. I sensed that something was wrong as soon as I removed the outer packaging. Accustomed to the geometric snugness of the classic Tunnock's livery, I was dismayed by the loosely-fitting gold foil paper that enveloped the individual biscuits. It gave them a very blowsy appearance. Once removed, the full horror of the makeover was revealed: a perfectly customary and blameless Caramel Wafer had been trawled through a pile of toasted desiccated coconut whilst the chocolate was still damp, and so the whole thing was bristling with nasty dusty brown bits. Consumption was a very disconcerting experience - it was as though a decent respectable Wafer had been interfered with by a Nice biscuit, and this was the bastard offspring. Due to the use of the modish term "Roasted" (as opposed to Toasted or Desiccated) or I am assuming this is a fairly recent development at Tunnock's. How far are they likely to push this sort of boundary? Does anyone have any inside information ? Perhaps Saffron Walden is the last place on earth to be subjected to this unsettling hybrid and the rest of Britain has long been happily lathered in Roasted Coconut, but half-way through the eight-pack, I am finding hard to reconcile myself to this grotesque caprice.
	Nicey replies: She has let herself go a bit since the WonderBra ads but I wouldn't go as far as to call her grotesque.
