BILL’S BISCUIT REVIEW
Lu’s “Mikado”
Since starting this biscuit review I have been amazed by the amount of unusual biscuits there are on our local supermarket shelves, even here in humble little Leicester. Like alot of Brits, I tend to stay in my own biscuit comfort zone and so I have not even noticed some of these new exotic brands.
The “Mikado” is a chocolate coated biscuit stick. It is very much like eating a chocolate flavoured joss stick. The biscuit has a brittle crunch to it and the chocolate is top draw. However, one can’t help feeling like a total knob-head sitting there nibbling on these poncey ultra-thin novelty items. On the box, Kraft, (who make these silly things), encourage the consumer to play the game “Mikado” with these biscuits. This would involve lots of hand contact and leave the unwary consumer at a high risk of food poisoning. Also these things are quite sharp and could easily have ones eye out.
The biscuit has a good inch of bare biscuit at one end to prevent chocolate soiled fingers. This is an oversight by the producers as when dunked, the chocolate all falls off the other end leaving you with a dull unsightly soggy stick and a cup of hot chocolate. There is a slight improvement when quadrupled up.
