Bosworth jumbles
The jumble biscuit may be unfamiliar now, but it has a long history having been brought to Britain in the middle ages by traders and crusaders returning from eastern realms. Denser than modern biscuits, they were sturdy enough to keep for a year or more, making them a popular food for travellers. Our buttery almondy version has evolved to suit more modern tastes – and is less of a potential jaw-breaker!
