Harry Haddock Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Like the sound of the Cromarty Bakery.Will be delighted to give Greg’s a miss. Surely somebody knows where to get the biscuit and americano in the same place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 The Cromarty shout is a good one, however the best empire biscuits are from Harry Gow's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Always surprises me that a filter coffee is usually priced below an americano. Far superior tasting cup of coffee imo. Americano, to me, usually means a nightmare of far too big a cup, a badly shaped cup, a drink that’s simply too hot. It can be salvaged by pouring some out and adding a splash of cold water to bring out the flavour and by decanting it into a mug or paper cup, rather than the giant soup bowl type cups so many places insist on using. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The problem with Cromarty is that it takes ages to get there. Even from Inverness. A cunt of a road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 An overlooked yet fundamental issue here is the colour of the sweetie on the top of the empire biscuit. I consider purple or green* to work best. *aye, btf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Posh folk in the big city can delight in an Empire biscuit with a fresh raspberry on top and home made raspberry jam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
