Haha in Ireland they’re still called German biscuits. Apparently the name changed in England bc of wars. Thread can now close

An absolute king of biscuits. I need one now.

Never seen one before.

Looks like a biscuit version of a Bakewell Tart.

That doesn’t look like a biscuit

2 bits of shortbread, jam between, icing and cherry on top. Don’t tell me it’s a cake. Could call it confectionary generally, but biscuit is in the name

Was it purchased in that state or is it something that’s been constructed subsequently?

Fucking hell, I didn’t think Scottish people were so susceptible to peer pressure from the English. What’s the point of independence if you can’t even say German biscuit?

literally never seen these before

They’re probably more common in Scotland than England I’d say. Find them in bakery sections of supermarkets and Greggs. When I’ve tried to make them the jam always makes the digestive go soggy. Cherry often replaced with a jelllied sweet like this:
