I never tried BN biscuits before. I decided to give them a go, expecting them to be ordinary enough. They're crackers with some vanilla stuff sandwiched inside and they're nice enough. I was expecting to be much more like a biscuit, like a Bourbon Cream or a Custard Cream.
However, I heard they're originally from France, that they disappeared for a while and then came back with the McVitie's label. Some fans from before their disappearance are dissatisfied, noting the cracker is very oat-y and not as sweet as they used to be.
I never tried them before so I don't have that comparison to make, but if you liked them from years back, be aware of that. I still they're nice and moreish. They have a nice face pattern on them too. I guess BN sounds like the positive French affirmation "bien" and wonder if that was part of the naming decision. I also like the vanilla flavour. Haven't tried any other flavour yet.
Remember when Cadbury had these biscuit combination things a few years back? One was with a biscuit brand called "LU" and they were really sweet and tasty. I wonder if this was the kind of sweetness that fans miss from the new BN biscuits?
