We
here at the biscuit appreciation society are concerned that the number
and quality of biscuits in the future will deteriorate. The main factor
for this, we feel, is that many a fine biscuit is baked in the home, often
by pensioners - for their family and friends. The recipes are often handed
down from generation to generation, by word of mouth - and are not stored
anywhere, but in the memories of grand parents and parents alike.
Our Concerns
At the last biscuit appreciation convention, it was brought to our attention
by Sir Jack Francis (the Vice Chairman), that the elderly are not getting
any younger - therefore, it is up to the younger generation to keep
the biscuit baking tradition alive. However, it was quite rightly pointed
out that the elderly are living longer than ever before, although what
we need to bear in mind is this: the elderly may indeed be living longer,
but this does NOT GUARANTEE their biscuit baking capability to be on
top form. Therefore, a special task force has been assigned devoted
to collecting, collating, and stealing (if need be) recipes from across
the globe.
This is the only sure way
to ensuring a future that has traditional home baked biscuits in it.
