Shopping Writer Rachel Williams pitted four supermarket shortbread fingers against one other to find the best budget friendly option to tuck into
It's officially Burns Night next Wednesday, the day many Scots will be tucking into traditional delicacies to celebrate our foremost poet, Robert Burns.
Fun fact about shortbread - it was only eaten on special occasions or by nobles and royals in the 12th century due to the fact that butter was considered a "luxury" item. I mean, with the prices of butter soaring these days, not much has changed since then. Latest shopping news What shortbread biscuits did I try? Since there are so many different shapes and brands out there that you can choose from, I decided to keep it simple and fair by sticking to own-branded shortbread biscuits from the supermarket.
My only complaint? There didn't seem to be a decent dusting off sugar once I had taken a bite, so looks were a little deceiving here. Without the extra sweetness, it can lead to a dry biscuit and I don't think I'd be tempted to eat quite a lot of these in one go.Aldi Next up was Aldi's All Butter Shortbread Fingers which came in a snazzy Scottish designed package, complete with red tartan and the Scottish flag for extra effort.
That being said, I did feel like this one was slightly a little bit underwhelming coming so soon after what were mostly decent shortbread biscuits. The biscuit itself was a lot more decadent than I expected - it had a rustic crumbliness that melted in the mouth, made even better by having the most full flavour out of the lot.
