I couldn't find an expiration date, so I can't say for sure how old they were, but they were about as gummy as a rock. |

I do not think the first review in 2005 was done by an employee, and that's not really a fair statement but rather an assumption lacking any real fact or evidence. It seems like a very small company that just enjoys making cheese straws and wants to share them with others. I sincerely doubt that, at the great price they are, the company even makes a ton of profit - which is a shame.
Secondly, after tasting Aunt Lizzie's cheese straws for the first time this Fall, I will not eat anyone else's. I literally threw away a package of a VERY POPULAR cheese straw company that I received yesterday as a gift because when I tasted them, they just tasted bland and floury. I could not even bring myself to finish them. I crave Aunt Lizzie's cheese straws so much. (I recommend trying them with some Shiraz or other wine!)
Our company gave out Aunt Lizzie's cheese straws as a corporate customer gift this year, and I bet that Aunt Lizzie will have a slew of new customers after that. Thanks, Aunt Lizzie!! :) |

The low carb version is fabulous too. |
| 282965 | 282965 | B0000TM9GO | A1IRKTCTOIHJIM | happyann | 0 | 0 | 4 | 1349654400 | Yummy, but... | These cheese straws are very yummy. Unfortunately, I felt that they were making me gain weight as part of my low carb diet. I gained three pounds in the week that I bought them eating maybe a couple of handfuls a day. So, while very delicious, they may not work well for my diet.
Update: I see that the product Amazon took me to write this review was not exactly the product I ordered. I ordered the low carb tin. |
| 282966 | 282966 | B0000TM9GO | A1CBG20CYAHJYY | Linda Pennot | 1 | 2 | 4 | 1280880000 | 1st Review Written By Employee | If you read the first review and then read the company literature it will become obvious that the 1st review was either written by an employee or was copied from the literature. I will say the cheese straws are the best I have ever tasted. From the flavor to the crunchy feel in my mouth, I am addicted to Aunt Lizzies cheese straws. The negative? Customer service is non existent. An order that was placed on the internet was subsequently lost, even though I received a confirmation via email. I was offered no discount or upgraded shipping, no additional product with my order, no discount on my next order, not even an apology for the 7 day delay. Just an excuse that the email order was lost and that her IT guy would be on the problem tomorrow. Personally, I can count the number of times an email has been lost over the last 10 years on one hand. This is not the first problem I have had with an order. They do not give a tracking number with each order and when asked for one after the order is placed the odds of getting one are 50-50. I have had so many problems with my orders I will go without my Aunt Lizzies cheese straws. I will miss them greatly however I need the hassle associated with ordering them less than I need the cheese straws. ANN, I wish you the best in the future and suggest you participate in customer service training classes to refrain from losing additional customers in the future. FOLLOW UP: I just received an email notifying me that my order shipped on the Aug 9th. I have not placed an order! What more can they do? |

These weren't quite as fresh as Penzey's seeds, but guess what? They were cheaper. Besides, these are still quite a bit better quality than the sesame seeds you're likely to find in a store. The addition of black sesame adds a lovely color contrast. |

It was the first out of three products ordered. The beans are small, smaller than I had hoped. It says one pound, right? To be blunt, to me it's kinda like half a pound. The reason I gave it four stars was because of the price, and because the shipping was pretty fast. It's a 16 oz package of tiny beans, nothing more, nothing less. |

The shipping was more than the product, took over a week to arrive, and arrived in a bubble envelope with my regular mail - something I could have sent USPS for about a $1.50. When I saw the shipping cost I tried to cancel the order immediately but that option was not given to me. I will not be ordering from this merchant again. |

Whilst available in a milk chocolate variety, the plain (dark) chocolate version is by far to be preferred. It is a solid, satisfying mix of wholewheat cookie and bitter chocolate coating of the finest quality. Purists will, naturally, wish to stick to the plain wholemeal digestive, both those biscuit- or chocolate-lovers wishing to spoil themselves (and their waistline) will opt for these every time.
American buyers may wish to remember that Digestive biscuits are officially classed in biscuit grading circles as the second most boring biscuit in the world (after Rich Tea and ahead of Hobnobs) so may take a little bit of getting used to, if you're not familiar with British biscuits. But I guarantee that after your second, you'll be addicted. And then you'll wonder where the rest of the pack went. |
| 282984 | 282984 | B000EZUBVE | ACK5ZV5DKXMDH | A Maryland Reader | 3 | 4 | 5 | 1250553600 | Best Cookie Ever Made | My family discovered this amazing cookie while in England 40 years ago. It is hands down the BEST COOKIE EVER MADE. Harder to find in the US but whenever I have shared these cookies with a neophyte, just one bite and their eyes light up and they rave about it. The texture is sublime and that layer of chocolate is perfectly proportioned with the with the quantity of biscuit (the English word for cookie). The milk chocolate variety is sweeter but my favorite has always been the plain chocolate variety. Also, this is not a junk food cookie. In a pinch a few McVities make a decent meal replacement. But when eating as a snack, be careful because they are filling. And they go down well with a satisfying quantity of very cold milk.
No joke - this isn't just a cookie, it is the BEST COOKIE EVER MADE! |

I did not observe the expected delivery date as my usual orders through Amazon have been good. It was to be one between 4-6 weeks by the order and it took about 4 weeks. The chocolate was melted and biscuits stuck together. Yes, I should have seen the expected delivery but why does a company expect to take that long for a perishable item or not protect it? |

Forget the heart shaped box, the chocolate chip roses, the cakes. Give me cinnamon that's hotter than a scorned woman's temper.
Except, where did it go? Somewhere in the past few years, cinnamon candy got namby pamby. Someone told me that people complained.
These are not the red hot Jelly Bellys I used to get. You know, the ones that made your nose run? And in a cold February, there's nothing better. (Well, nothing I'm going to talk about here, anyway) They're sanitized, expurgated, dare I say it? MILD, kiddie candy.
Still looking for my sinfully hot cinnamon for the year. Any suggestions?
