25th June: Birds The Confectioners - Gingerbread footballer bear
Rating: 9/10
The world cup is here and Birds have brought out a range of football themed products including chocolate lollipops, England iced buns and these rather cute looking gingerbread footballer bears. A mild tasting ginger biscuit coated in sickly sweet white chocolate. Birds often produces various themed gingerbread biscuits for certain occasions during the year such as halloween and christmas and I always look forward to what they might being out next. These biscuits are quite substantial and most people struggle to eat a whole one as they can get quite sickly. However I find I can consume one of these rather too quickly and they definitely satisfy my sweet cravings! The ginger flavour is not strong or too overpowering so even if you're not a fan of ginger, I still suggest you give these a go. Unfortunately I think Birds made a big mistake writing 'Birds of Derby' on the bears' t-shirts. I think anybody who is not a Derby supporter has been slightly put off by this, hence we havn't actually sold that many. Never mind, I'll still buy them. I'm hoping England beat Germany on Sunday, can you guess why?
