Well, Mrs Nutmeg, on reading your message I popped out to my local biscuit supplier and nibbled a couple of Custard Creams on my way home. And they seemed alright to me.Of course not all manufacturers maintain the same high standards, and a lot depends on the brand of biscuit you are eating. Why not treat yourself to a Fox's Family Assortment? You'll find some first rate Coconut Creams in there, not to mention a few other biscuit delights!
