Taking the Biscuit: The History of British Biscuits

In a battle for the biscuit, Eat My Globe host, Simon Majumdar, takes on the origins of biscuits from ancient Romans, to "Ship Biscuits," which helped British ships to conquer the world, to the arrival of sugar and chocolate in mass distribution, to Britain's passion for biscuits with a cup of "Rosie Lee" tea. This is one of Simon's favorite topics, particularly when there is a Custard Cream biscuit involved.
