does anyone remember the name of these biscuits

Were they Fox's Bran biscuits? I used to love them but they've disappeared.

I think they were made by Fox’s and were discontinued a few years ago sadly.

Crossed post!

I was a fan of Fox’s Bran biscuits but they seem to have disappeared and the only alternative I buy now are Ryvita Bran which I notice have shrunk!
I remember you were a Ryvita fan too Lona. 👋

not Hovis biscuits?

I don’t know these biscuits Mazgg, sorry. But I’m on the hunt for Crispbakes, if anyone can help?

Sainsbury sold something similar to your description,once upon a time.
A unique taste - neither obviously sweet nor obviously savoury but just right for cheese (Shropshire Blue for example).
And better than cream crackers, IMHO.

The OP description matches the savoury biscuits my Gran used to buy. They were McVita crackers and made by McVities. They were wholemeal, oblong in shape and quite thin. I haven't seen them for years though.

Thank you all, they were indeed Fox's. Haven't seen them for a long time so assume they are sadly discontinued.
I suppose oat cakes will be the next best alternative.

The Hovis loaf-shaped ones are ideal with blue cheese.

Hovis biscuits

I thought they ight be Hovis biscuits. Have had some that were similar in a mixed box for cheese they seem to go particularly well with a "blue" cheese, yummy.

I’m another who liked the Fox’s Bran biscuits and have never found a replacement that is as good. Tesco did their own version for a while but that’s also disappeared. I tend to stick to oatcakes and Matzos now but if a savoury biscuit new to me is on special offer I’ll usually give it a try.
Jaxjacky I’ve seen Crispbakes when I do my Tesco order online.

I like Lidl’s dry biscuits - they do a few different varieties.

I loved those Fox’s bran biscuits - used to stock up when I could find them. When thdd we y became impossible to find I even contacted Fox’s! Told they weren’t selling well enough so production was stopped. Have never found any similar!

In a box of mixed ‘biscuits for cheese’ I notice everyone dives for the Hovis one : wouldn’t you think, Fox and others would make bran biscuits again, or at least canvass shoppers to ask what we would like.

I am still mourning the loss of H&P Breakfast Biscuits, some things in life I cannot forgive.

Oh yes!! I miss Huntley and Palmer's Breakfast biscuits.

And I remember when mcvities digestives came in two versions/ wholemeal and sweet meal
Now only sweet which are good of course but I liked the less sweet whole meal ones best

Mmmmm blue cheese on Hovis type biscuits 😋

I eat all the Hovis ones in the mixed boxes. Mr A gets left with all the really thin, dry ones 😄

My DH loves the thin crispy ones so we're both happy!

Can I just ask if anyone here is crackers on Ritz? I love them, but they changed completely about 3 months ago. The texture is completely different and I'm not keen. I'm thinking of complaining.

jaxjacky my local Sainsbury have started selling crispbakes! I love them, haven't had them for years.
kalu how do you remember I like Ryvitas? I can't remember my name half the time anyway I've gone off them now!
