Are these the thick rich tea biscuits I used to eat as a child covered in butter?

Don't think so Jack

Can you still get Arrowroot biscuits?

[1ozzy]

Sure can, as a kid I'd eat them at double time, smothered in butter.

Waitrose is the only place I have ever seen them Becky, so I stock up whenever I have the opportunity.

( Waitrose is a very rare find in the Valleys ! )

And yes Jack...Arrowroot biscuits are what I turn to when I am ill and I need to eat something.....I have seen them in Tesco and my local Co-op.
