They are a bit like Ryvita, but LOADS nicer
I find Ryvita too dry and mouth-bung-y Finn crisp are a lot thinner, theyre pretty much flat and fairly smooth and only about half as wide (ie long and thin) but they're REALLY crispy
Ha ha they sound really rubbish with that as a description but I LOVE them, they just dont seem like normal crispbread (which I find like rabbit food tbh), its more like a snacky-chip-thing. You get six original or multigrain as a HEXB.

Yeah, I used to take whole jars but then you have to cart them back again, so now I just make the mixes I need and wrap them in foil or put them in a jar if they're big and recycle the empty jars on site.
I also whizz the onion/garlic/ginger mixes for the curry etc in advance so I just have to pour it out when I get there and again chuck the jar. And stick a few tbsp vinegar or chilli sauce or whatever I need in a little jar. Nothing to fetch home (We dont drive so EVERYTHING goes in the damn rucksack! )

Is a crunchy mama!
Hi Ermie! Glad to hear you're okay. Hope your thyroid is treated soon, sorry I don't know much about thyroid issues but it sounds serious! I'm sure your holiday will help put a spring back in your step. I'm SO impressed with how organised you are with all the spices and things that you've packed for your hols. Self catered holidays are the BEST, the control freak in me just loves em!
The herb pics in foil DO look dodgy LOL! Reminds me of my honeymoon in Barbados... *ahem*
Have a fabulous time away, I'm sure you'll come back with a loss as always. I'll miss you and your delicious food pics!
