Thought it would be amazing: it was cheap and unpleasant

Lotus Biscoff spread. So many people rave about it and how they’re addicted and it’s better than Nutella. So I got some, for the first time, to put on pancakes.

And it’s rubbish: like prechewed biscuits in oil 🤮 I was expecting something brilliant and it was 🤢

Pancake spread with Gu salted caramel spread wrapped around a banana was divine though.

YANBU Lotus Biscoff is rank
YABU Lotus Biscoff is marvellous and perhaps my sense of taste is wrong

YANBU it's vile stuff. Overly sweet and sticks to the roof of your mouth 🤮

Electricwigglefish · 16/02/2021 19:36

Yanbu, I was looking forward to trying it but it made me feel sick!! 8 year old dd loved it tho.

BlobbyYouTwat · 16/02/2021 19:36

The biscoff ice creams are amazing.

You want the Lindt chocolate hazelnut spread. That's what dreams are made of l.

MrsBobDylan · 16/02/2021 19:40

You are so lucky op, I can't even try it because I'm afraid I'll love it and I cannot spare the calories. You've had a lucky escape!

But the clag is part of why it tastes so amazing!

Well that description certainly has put me off ever trying it, prechewed biscuits in oil!

DieSchottin93 · 16/02/2021 19:41

It's lovely with some nice crunchy slices of Granny Smith apple. Only a little dollop on each slice though.

Aquamarine1029 · 16/02/2021 19:42

That sludge is so disgusting. Almost made me gag.

devildeepbluesea · 16/02/2021 19:42

I'm not keen but I wouldn't say it was rank. DD loves it.

MustardMitt · 16/02/2021 19:44

I also thought it was going to be amazing and thought it was like prechewed biscuits. Like when a toddler decides to share and you don’t realise they’ve slobbered all over it Grin

Livingmybestlifenow · 16/02/2021 19:44

It’s nicer for cooking with, try using it in banana bread 😋

iklboo · 16/02/2021 19:44

I like Biscoff biscuits but not the spread. Dulce de leche on the other hand...

Livingmybestlifenow · 16/02/2021 19:45

Oh, and in a chilled cheesecake mixed in with the cheese and cream. You can leave out the icing sugar.

Muchtoomuchtodo · 16/02/2021 19:46

I love it.

And I love the way it melts on a toasted bagel!

HTH1 · 16/02/2021 19:47

I didn’t think I would like it but bought a jar anyway. I’m definitely a fan (and liked it on pancakes).

Spied · 16/02/2021 19:47

I've never tried it but still may need to buy some to try so I can leave my review 😁

LucyCC · 16/02/2021 19:49

The Gu choc spread is fabulous, spotted it in the supermarket recently as was on a mission to find goodies without palm oil.

MadeOfStarStuff · 16/02/2021 19:52

YABU it’s amazing

MsMiaWallace · 16/02/2021 19:54

It's like crack in a jar!

doctorhamster · 16/02/2021 19:55

I do like the crunchy biscoff but the smooth one is disgusting.

Gliblet · 16/02/2021 19:59

It is Wronge. Lotus biscuits are the stuff of the gods (especially when you're ravenous and tired and they appear free with your coffee). Biscoff spread is more 'oh gods, what is this stuff?'.

DartmoorDoughnut · 16/02/2021 20:00

I’ve not tried it by itself but it’s good in brownies

Niconacotaco · 16/02/2021 20:04

I only eat it on a spoon but I'm the same with Nutella, find it too sweet to have with anything.

Tomatobear · 16/02/2021 20:09

I was so excited to try it but found it gross Sad
