Walkers Shortbread Highland Oatcakes, Savory Crackers, 10.6-Ounce Boxes (Count of 4)

If you like dry, crumbly, low salt, low sugar, high fiber, highly nutritious and versatile oat crackers from Scotland, these are for you! They are good with peanut butter, cheese, jam, honey, meats, sweet or savory, as a snack or part of a meal, with a hearty soup or crumbled up in a fruity dessert or with chocolate. Their taste is neutral enough to accompany anything. They will be your "go to" crackers everyday. Their texture is crumbly, not strong enough like bread to be used for a sandwich though. The fact that they are high in fiber and packed with nutrition is just a bonus.

Well, probably not. I can't remember if palm oil is OK or VERBOTEN. But here's how it's perfect: oatmeal is so good and nourishing, and it goes with so many other good foods, that it seems the perfect food. One time our dog was hit by a car, late on a Sunday afternoon. We had to rush her to the emergency vet, 45 minutes from our house. We put her in the car, loaded the car with oatcakes and poured some white wine. Yes, we drove while drinking the wine, but we got there, etc., etc., and weren't starving when, hours later we got back home with our poor bandaged-up but surviving dog. Oatcakes are filling as well as delicious. Oatcakes and orange juice seem to be a perfect breakfast, if you're on the road or taking to the air. For a plane trip, take oatcakes, cheese, maybe some thinly sliced ham, grapes, and your drink of choice. And, as the package suggests, you can, for a party, top each biscuit with cream cheese and fruit -- the versatility is remarkable. And: just remember: oatmeal is remarkably nutritious. Just think of all those race horses!

The oat cakes themselves are usually excellent: a nice texture (slightly crumbly, slightly gritty) and pleasant oat flavor. They are sufficiently neutral to go well with cheese or pate, but with an interesting enough flavor that I frequently eat them plain. I say "usually excellent", however, because a couple of times (very rarely I admit, given that I order them regularly) I have received boxes of cakes that tasted somewhat stale, but I can't find an expiration date on the box. I wonder if Amazon is cycling the product correctly (e.g., new boxes to the back as in grocery stores). My other complaint is probably due to Amazon's shipping methods: boxes frequently arrive crushed, with the oat cakes themselves in fragments or even crumbs. I get these via "subscribe and save" and Amazon packs them in a large box with other items, including a pallet of 24 cans of seltzer water! --no wonder they get crushed. I doubt if they come that way from the dealer, and ordered on their own would probably be fine.

These are really good with cheese, or jam, honey or perhaps best of all, with homemade lemon curd! Yes, they are crisp, very dry and rather crumbly but that is exactly how they should be. I have never been able to find proper Scottish oatcakes in my part of the USA so it was a thrill to be able to get these through Amazon. I was impressed by how fresh they tasted and that they arrived intact. I now have them on my Subscribe and Save list. I just wish we could also get the thicker style oatcake bannocks (about 1/4 inch thick and generally shaped in farls (a farl is a quarter round) from Amazon!

A traditional classic. I like to top mine with a bit of lemon curd. Have some with tea. Not so sweet and the oatcake cuts through the sugar of the lemon curd and mellows the sugar brings out the flavor of the lemon and butter. My boyfriend doesn't like these. Says they are too plain. And indeed, they are simple. Simple ingredients. But they work great to feature a curd or a marmalade and because they aren't too cloyingly sweet; they can be topped with savory ingredients too. I have eaten this "biscuits" (oatcakes) for decades. I will continue to love and treasure them as part of my tea routine. Sometimes, it is nice to have something that isn't sugar'd out.

I started eating oat cakes (Walkers and others) while living overseas. After moving back to the U.S., and not finding them in my local grocery store, I checked Amazon, and lo and behold, they were at my doorstep two days later. Exactly as dry, crumbly, mild and yet somehow delicious plain or with cheese as they were in Bangkok (strangely, Central Food Hall there had a big selection of them). Great for road trips, healthier than chips or nachos. Love 'em.

Delicious but all crumbled up and broken.

Tasted like sawdust.

Es gibt kaum ein besseres haltbares Bevorratungsprodukt als die schottischen oat cakes/haferkekse! Für Zeiten, wenn ich Mal wie jetzt hier auf der Baustelle keine Zeit zum Glutenarmen haferbrotbacken habe (in der hiesigen Weißbrotpampenwüste). Ideal für Diabetiker und alle, die glutenarmes, Stärkendes essen lieben: gut für den schnellen snack zwischendurch. Sehr empfehlenswert: da weltweit der beste haferkeks von den starken Schotten!

Große Auswahl an Shortbread. Die Ware kam wie beschrieben und der Lieferservice war tadellos. Jederzeit wieder

Hat nicht geschmeckt

Sehr, sehr lecker!!! Schnelle Lieferung

Empfinde sie nicht nur völlig geschmacklos, sondern auch staubtrocken, zerbröseln schon beim Herausnehmen aus der billigen Plastikfolie. Kann mir nicht erklären, was sich Produktentwickler dabei gedacht haben. Leider völliger Fehlkauf.
