Reaching out across the seas to all biscuit lovers. Let’s not let a little thing like the definition of “biscuit” or the implications of “tea party” separate us, we have so much more to share, yo. We could be like NATO, except with fat and sugar! I’ll kick it off with my favorite cheap Aldi sweet without chocolate in it: The Speculoos. Excellent with Camembert brie! EDIT: fixed the fargin photo

    Really? I found Biscoffs to be thicker, drier in texture and different flavor from these, would not have thought it was a rebrand.

      Hmm, you may be right - Lotus rebranded, but other’s didnt.

      In Europe, Lotus Speculoos is the most recognized brand. This manufacturer supplied the biscuits individually packaged to the catering industry. In the United States and the United Kingdom, the same company is branded as Lotus Biscoff, short for biscuit with coffee. Company founder Jan Boone Sr. created the original recipe in 1932.
