Do you like shortbread?

It's one of those foods that I never buy myself but often have it given at Christmas. I don't dislike it as such but I find it a little too sweet for my taste - that's why I prefer biscuits like HobNobs and Lotus Biscoff. Cheap shortbread is grim compared to the stuff made with clotted cream.

I've never heard of savoury shortbread but they look delicious!

I love shortbread but only homemade or quality bought stuff.
Cheap supermarket shortbread is dry and tasteless.

It’s scrumptious!

I love it. Being Scottish I grew up eating it. My mum made her own and it was amazing. There is rubbish shortbread and great shortbread for sure. I like it as petticoat tails rather than fingers.

I love it but being Scottish I was brought up with it. My mother made good shortbread but mine never turns out right.

Duncan's of Deeside is the best!

Waitrose also do a Colombian Coffee ice cream. I've not bought that yet, it's expensive but I pretty much think I'd eat the whole tub. 😄
