I supported my US myLot friends today

I had a hankering for ginger biscuits once and made myself some. Vince said they’d be better if they had walnuts in them so now I add walnuts. I seem to be forever making them so now I make a double lot and freeze some.
I went to buy walnuts today. I had the choice of Australian or Californian nuts. Usually, we try really hard to buy Australian and will pay a bit more for our own produce. But the Aussie walnuts were double the price of those from California.
As they’re not cheap to start with, I let the side down and bought the imported ones. I consoled myself thinking I was supporting my US myLot friends. You can thank me later (That’s a joke.)

I think Horse and Greg (Xander) could be the biggest beneficiaries.
Horse due to his rapport with many US exporters.
Greg might have hidden Australian Shell company which profits from both the US one and the Aussie one.
The worst part is gathering proof because these two guys are "supposedly" much more smarter and logical than me.
Anyways, leaving that aside, I too would love such cookies.
Also a motivation for me to do a "series" of Cookies.
Or shall we say "Cookie Posting"?

Neither would I like to start another discussion about Cookies vs Biscuits!
People here would likely get bored of that topic.
By the way, the word "Cookie" has caught on in India in just the recent 10 to 12 years.
Biscuits ( accent varies from "Bees-Keet" to "Bee-Skoot" and a few more).
Well, I would just stop now !

I eat walnuts along with other nuts and seeds as part of my healthy diet. My walnuts are bought from Tesco, but the packet doesn’t say where the origin is. I suspect it’s not Australia as they are cheap.
It’s crazy how local produce is more expensive than imported. It’s the same here.

@JudyEv I thought the same applied here. Obviously not!
One thing I do know - they’re not British.

@LindaOHio True but I don't know why the difference.

That is absolutely weird that they should cost less since they come from the US. Send me some ginger biscuits with walnuts, will you? They sound perfect for my sweet tooth.

It's the same with a number of other products but the difference isn't usually so marked.

We appreciate your support. They might change your accent, though. ![](/Content/images/emotes/rofl.gif)

I make them a lot as they are not too sweet. Vince isn't supposed to have too much sugar.

Thank you on behalf of all U,S, residents. I like walnuts and they are very good as well. I last bought them at a grocery outlet. They were. about two bucks for maybe 6 ounces. Decent price.

I bought 4.5 ounces for $3.60 ($US2.44). The Aussie ones were very expensive.

I love nuts and find it difficult to find good deals on most of them.

Most nuts stick in my throat but Vince likes these biscuits so I make them. I like pistachios and cashews. They don't seem to bother me.

I understand buying the cheaper ones. Food is expensive enough

Thanks for supporting the US by buying California walnuts. Walnuts really are expensive and I bypassed buying them the last time I had them on my shopping list.

The biscuits aren't incredibly sweet so are a good choice for Vince. We don't eat them otherwise.

I love walnuts. I buy local walnuts, but they are expensive too.
