Morrisons Garibaldi 200g

I love these biscuits with raisins, but all I have purchased were really lacking any amount of raisins? But not these! These are packed with raisins, YEA! These are the real deal.

Very tasty

On the dry side of what I remember but I did like it. But not enough to order it again.

Exorbitant price. Biscuits pretty good for snack with coffee, but they’re an acquired taste. Not for everyone. Low sugar.

If you grew up in North America, and reading this, you are probably looking for something similar to Sunshine's Golden Fruit Raisin Biscuits that was bought and then discontinued by Keebler in 2001. I have yet to find a cookie similar to that. Sunshine's cookie was made with a lot of raisins. Garibaldi Biscuits are known for being dry and only sparsely filled with currants. Garibaldi, are also, in general, less sweet. I tried the top 3 most popular versions on Amazon. Crawford's, a major UK brand of biscuits, as well as two store brands, Morrisons and Tesco. In a side by side comparison, I keep coming back to Tesco's as the best. It is slightly sweeter with a little more fruit than the rest. It's overall quite enjoyable and only slightly disappointing. Crawford's is the major manufacturer of Garibaldis, and is available in many U.S. supermarkets in their International Food section. They look right, but don't buy them. They are possibly the worst variation I have tried to date. They are barely sweet and always dry and bland with some currants, but nowhere near enough. I've bought them at British specialty stores, supermarket chains and even on Amazon until I learned my lesson. Morrison's isn't bad and takes second place. It's less toasty in color and flavor, is the sparsest on fruit and sweetness, but the underlying biscuit is in fact the tastiest of the three. If you don't want your Garibaldi sweet, this is definitely the one I'd recommend. Again, while I have now bought Tesco's variation more than once, it isn't Sunshine's Biscuit, but it's close enough until something better comes along or I learn to bake my own.

Way overpriced for what you get. I purchased thinking I would try a number of brands to see which one would be my "go-to". You get very little for the price compared to the competitors product. Biscuits are supposed to be dry but these seemed drier than others. Dryness similar to that of crackers Not a good value for the price.

Certainly not Sunshine. These are completely dry and totally tasteless. I threw them out.
