Anglesey Abbey's Ginger Nut Biscuits
Ginger Nuts have been a popular biscuit in Britain since the 1840s. In 1933 Huntley and Palmers created the John Ginger character as part of a campaign to increase output. This marketing strategy successfully maintained Ginger Nuts as Huntley & Palmers’ best-selling biscuits. Their hard texture makes them an ideal biscuit to accompany a cup of tea. Whilst we don’t know what biscuits were prepared in the kitchen for Lord Fairhaven and his guests, a ginger biscuit is certainly a possibility.
