-----History-----

Farley's were founded in the 1850s as a baker shop in Plymouth. In 1880 Dr W P Eales was concerned with the health of working class children. He asked Edwin Farley to make a biscuit rusk that would be nutritious and affordable for low-income families.

-----Packaging-----

Rusks come in a blue and green box wide red band at the bottom that says original in white letters in it. On the front it says farley's rusks andhas a picture of a bear, it also has pictures of the rusks on the front.

-----Product-----

-----What does it look like?

Rusks are round and a pale cream colour, they are a quite rough texture.

-----What do they taste like?

I dont really know how to describe the taste of these, I think they have a creamy taste, it is a nice very nice taste - I am on my 4th now!! The rusks are hard to bite but will melt in your mouth.
