I thought they were called Venetian biscuits but when I googled it they had raisins in them so they must be called something else!.They were round white crispy slightly almonds base, with a hard white icing on top made by griffins or arnotts etc. I could eat the whole packet, anyone remember them!

Yes! I used to love them too :) They were real 'melt in the mouth' biscuits, and I'm sure they were called Venetian something. I'm not sure what brand they were. Funny thing is, I was thinking about them just the other day - maybe because of choco-ades coming back.

Loved Cadbury's Chocolate Oat Wafers. Wish they'd bring them back.

Oh my gosh I remember Venetian biscuits too.they were the best biscuits ever. They had such a unique flavour. As soon as I read your post I could actually taste them. They had a taste very similar to the eggs n cream Macintosh lollies.

They might be viennese biscuits/swirls. Had to google to figure out spelling.

Yes they were Devine! If only they would bring them back!

I remember those biscuits so nice and crunchy and orange favour

Yeah, and another biscuit is "Briggadoon", being trying to locate this also.

Hmmm, just trying to remember those "Venetian" biscuits, the one I have in mind were thin whitish colour with a thin very thin firm white icing cover and as most biscuit companies do in 200 or 250 gram packages all in very similar sizing regardless which biscuit one bought.

With the briggadoons, I think Farmbake or Irvines, maybe another had also these in bag type packaging.

Yep the search continues. but did come across this link, nice interesting selection of cookies, Hmmm.
