Then an accountant, distracted by their cat walking across their keyboard, blithely mentions poor numbers for Bath Olivers and so, keen to get back to the telly and watch the French Open, there’s muted approval for their cancellation.

Perfect on their own or with fine cheese, these biscuits are a symbol of British tradition and culinary excellence.

Later, he moved to the historic spa town of Bath, where he became involved in the treatment of patients with rheumatism. Score a line through the skin at the centre of each of the freshly washed apples and place in a dish or pan that can be used on the hob as well as in the oven. Oliver found that his patients, whom he was treating for rheumatism, were getting fatter, not fitter!From ales to apple juice, cordials to coconut water, decaffeinated coffee to dirty chai, you'll find it all on the following pages. One might think that a biscuit as storied and popular as the Bath Oliver would continue to be made until we started counting time in Stardates, but we would be wrong. Kit Kat’s are great for a break but this biscuit rounds off an evening with indulgent sophistication…. Dark as this day may be, with our united effort we can again affect the resurrection of our beloved biscuit. As it stands, there is a small group of us, lucky enough to be able to shoulder the burden of this small project.

Hi, l’ve heard that the Queen used to enjoy chocolate Oliver biscuits with her first cuppa of the day. Fabulously thin and crispy crackers packed with chopped pistachios, sesame seeds and tangy, chewy dried apricots. Time went by and it was around 2004 when I got the golden opportunity to visit and work in London (England) and lived there for over 12 years. In the 1950's the Bath Oliver biscuit recipe passed to James Fortt and the Fortt's Original Bath Oliver was born.Children have been named after them, the Leader of the House would not be alive without them and the quiet decent majority of this nation need them to get through this crisis. In this perilous time, we know you cannot go without a Bath Oliver, so a recipe can be found on this page.
