Britannia have been baking in India since 1892, and their biscuit range is what a great many people grew up dunking in tea.

Pistachio and almond is the fancier end of the shelf. Richer, nuttier, and sold to be handed round rather than eaten alone over the sink.

Serve them with chai or coffee, put them out when someone visits, or keep a packet in the office drawer. They hold up better in hot tea than a thin biscuit would.

Stocked at Curry Corner, North Melbourne.
