Walker's Shortbreak Cookies!!! w00t!!!

[UNCjigga]

So tucked in a corner behind our new office complex is a quaint little tea house (which I visited for the first time today.)

Of course, all teas are served in a glass teacup, and all teas are brewed straight from the leaf (yes, you wait longer than you need to for a cappucino but its worth it!) I sampled some Earl Grey ("'Grey', not 'Gray'") Jasmine tea, while my coworker had some Darjeeling that was harvested in the same county he was born in back in Bengal.

As we sipped our cups, we sampled some of the imported wares for sale in the shop. PG Tips, Tetley, and a whole assortment of teas you normally wouldn't find west of a Harrod's shop in London or south of Windsor. The greatest find?? ORIGINAL Walker's shortbread cookies...not the crap you might be lucky to find in a Target!!! Brings back memories of stays with my aunt and uncle in Scotland!!!

My wife likes these to. I don't see what the big deal is. You can get a whole tub of them from Costco for less than 10 bucks

Those aren't the real ones! Okay, they're probably the same thing, but the originals have different anticrumble packaging, and come in different shapes and stuff. I guess its like having Canadian Oreos vs. the crap we get here in the good ol' USA.
