Posted by Annalisa in I’ve been seeing a lot of similarities and somewhat strange things whilst I’ve been in the UK although I have visited here a few times in my life, I seem to be noticing the more trivial things, like Penguins. Penguin biscuits are milk chocolate-covered biscuit bars filled with chocolate cream identical to our much loved Tim Tams. Each wrapper has a joke or “funny fact” printed on it and imaginative, often humorous designs featuring penguins that often pastiche famous works of art.
There seems to be a lot of discussion around which is the better biscuit and to be honest, they look and taste exactly the same (in my opinion) but here’s some others: http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuits/previous.php3?item=48
Regardless, the only thing I was trying to get my head around was as to why they call it a “Penguin”. Am I missing something? Or perhaps just craving a Tim Tam!
