Well isn’t that nice. I’ve barely dealt with Virgin Media this year, yet they still sent me a biscuit so impressive that it was blogworthy. It came in a sturdy cardboard box that, when you slipped off the lid, let out an rich intoxicating aroma of expensive chocolate biscuitery.

Unfortunately the actual eating experience didn’t live up to the promise of its smell, as the biscuit itself was rather soft (a little stale, perhaps?) and the icing quite brittle, but as the Virgin people won’t have baked it themselves that’s not their fault. It’s also still by far the most impressive edible yet received this Christmas
