Even better there is no chicken in chicken in a biscuit! Just tastes like a nicely seasoned chicken. Also Mersey Valley cheese is vegetarian. Great little party or afternoon tea nibble. qv. Mitani Chicken Salt...
We didn't even think of that when we named our dog Winston Biscuit lol
For all you Aussies out there... Chicken in a Biscuit with a slice of Mersey Valley cheese on top. OMFG. Yummo! For all of you foreigners out there... you have no idea what you're missing!!!
