McVities Ginger Nuts

Yesterday I purchased a 250g pack of ginger nuts biscuits. Sainsbury's, Mudeford (Chrischurch, Dorset).

I only needed 200g for my recipe. So i got my scales out.

However I found that the WHOLE content of the 250g pack only weighed at slightly above 200g,

This is well and truly outside tolerance,clearly a breach of trading standars (weight and measures)

If these have ever seen Ginger I am a Dutchmans Uncle; they are hard and tiny with no substance to them and taste more of Lemon than anything Ginger. Ghastly. Instead buy Ringtons own brand Ringtons tea Ginger biscuits which are a REAL Ginger biscuit.

the changed recipe has destroyed the classic biscuit

Myself and family have been eating Ginger Biscutes for more than 29 years. My uncle my mother Brother & Daughter. Have been brought up on them. We always take them on holiday. We only have three each time we have a cuppa.

Your buscute is not the same as it used to be..

Full of Sugar and soft. They used to be hard, Full of ginger andable to be dunked In tara with out the worry of them

Breaking down and ending up in my tea.

Thank lease consider to air them like you used to.

Kind Regards,

Absolutely love these biscuits! Goes perfect with a cuppa tea every time!

Overpriced even when on offer with quality and taste below supermarkets own brand standards - check M&S for the best Gingers!

Here in France, we hadn't had a Ginger Nut for a few years. Recently, a large supermarket has started to stock McVities so we bought some.

What I remember about them most is that you could waggle them in a cuppa and not worry about a cup full of biscuit or that you'd end up wearing soggy biscuit as it flopped between cup and mouth. They were the best dunkers around and almost too hard to eat without dunking.

These Ginger Nuts were nowhere near as hard so they were, actually best eaten on their own. Okay, they are still quite good dunkers and the taste was as I remembered but you certainly can't waggle them while you chat.

I'll have to go back to making my own Cornish Fairings with extra ginger. They are rock hard dunkers !

I think McVities should re-name their ginger nuts and call them lemon nuts, the only thing ginger about these bisciuts is the colour. I will not be buying these rubbish bisciuts again, and as for the "now even more gingery" slogan, if they get any more gingery they will have to call them rich tea!

I've been a McVities Gunger Nut fan for years. It took time to adjust to their new flatter and less nobbly appearance several years ago, and might I add, less taste. Now they have a new,'more gingery' biscuit appearing on the shelves. It should read ' New LESS GINGERY taste'. Why keep trying to improve what was good already? these biscuits over the years have really gone down hill. My philosophy is 'If in 'ain't broken, don't fix it' Needless to say, McVities ginger nuts are no longer a staple on my shopping list.

Firstly Imakesense's review just about hits the proverbial nail square on the head. A fine,timeless biscuit expertly constructed , offering an initial alluring sweetness before imparting the sensous heat of its gingery adieu,which invites you to revisit time and time again...an absolute temptress of a biscuit
