A Biscuit as Aussie as Vegemite
If you’re an Aussie, chances are you’ve nibbled, dunked or crunched your way through a Scotch Finger or twenty. But did you know there’s an official way to eat this iconic biscuit? Yep, Arnott’s has finally put the crumb-covered debate to rest.
The Snap That Saves Your Lap
According to the bikkie legends themselves, the best way to enjoy a Scotch Finger is by doing what its name suggests: snap it in half! It’s a neat little hack that helps avoid the avalanche of buttery crumbs that often ends up in your lap (or keyboard).
How Do You Eat Yours?
Surprisingly, research by Arnott’s found only 43% of people actually break the biscuit before eating it. Meanwhile, almost a third of Aussies just bite right in, and a quarter love dunking theirs in a cuppa. Whatever your style, one thing’s clear, the Scotch Finger has earned its place as a pantry staple.
A Bite of Biscuit History
So where did it all begin? The humble Scotch Finger was first baked in Australia in the early 1900s, inspired by traditional Scottish shortbread. Arnott’s took the recipe, gave it an Aussie twist, and the rest is biscuit history. With its signature buttery crunch and satisfying snap, it’s no wonder it’s been a household favourite for generations.
The Final Snap
So next time you open a pack, snap first, nibble later and enjoy this crumb-free delight the proper way.
