To be concerned for the future of empire biscuits after a yes vote.

[itsmeitscathy]

Will they be banned in Scotland? Renamed?

In Scotland we call them double biscuits. Never heard them called an empire biscuit till I worked in Newcastle.

Now I'll have to google to see what these biscuits are. So I'm on the fence on that one.

never had one of those! I want one now

Double biscuits? Is that an East Coast thing? They're empire biscuits in Glasgow.

Maybe they'll go back to being German biscuits - they were renamed during WW1.

Also I really, really want one now...

I'm from Glasgow and we've always called them Empire biscuits in our house. I really want one now

I'm in the East and they're called Empire biscuits. Never heard them called double biscuits.

X post with Tricycle!

Back from my research. They look nice and easy to make. Here's a recipe from Greggs Did you know Greggs did recipes?!

Iv always called them empire too.

They may get renamed saltire and get made blue

I've never heard of these biscuits. Now I want some

Always empire biscuits in my family too. And my mum makes the best ones ever!

YABU. They are German biscuits. And I would know!

I've always called them Belgian biscuits.

Yep I call them German biscuits but that is my Grannies influence so God knows when that dates from.

I've never heard them called double biscuits. I lived all over Scotland and they've always been empire biscuits

Double biscuits in my wee part of Fife

Empire biscuits in my wee village bakery in west of Scotland, loved them when I was growing up. Tried some from Asda on a recent holiday and they were awful, really sweet and heavy. Had to stick with snowballs (cake type not Lees marshmallow) and Tunnocks caramel logs instead! Although found a lovely cafe in Plockton that did a fantastic vanilla & Scottish tablet ice cream with bits of tablet in it, yum!
Regardless of the vote, hands off our biscuits!

They're empire biscuits definitely!

They shall be renamed Salmond biscuits

They'll be independence biscuits, in the style of freedom fries

The empire biscuits from Lidl are lush!

they are empire in west coast of scotland

ach, I'm highlands. that probably explains it, nae whor else kens wha wur oan aboot fither. haha

I hope they don't become saltire biscuits. Blue icing always tastes a bit funny...

Did you know Greggs did recipes?!

Ah, but they suggest a glace cherry on the top... I prefer the ones with a little jelly sweet probably because I'm a heathen.
