Guide biscuit recipe unchanged
Sue writes: "No doubt you will have an influx of irritated Guide leaders responding to this, but in case you don't our National Office regularly reiterates to us that: The recipe for the original plain Girl Guide biscuit has not changed since 1957 when they were first sold.

A thinner biscuit might explain why people have noticed a change." Or as another reader put it: "Perhaps you've gotten older and your taste has changed."
