[nichola]

Does anyone know if, and if so where I can buy ginger biscuits; should that be ginger nut biscuits!

Thanks in advance

I got some "Anna,s" ginger thins in Migros yesterday paid over 6 lira a packet. I get them in B&M in Uk £1 a packet but don't live in the UK.!!! Also got a pack of orange thins not tried them yet.  Never seen ordinary ginger nuts here, they also have "hobnobs".

That would be lovely Julesbob thank you   I'll share a slice of the ginger cheese cake I will be making

I'll happily bring some too but it won't be until August!  Any preferred brand?

For my ginger based cheesecake I always use digestive biscuits with a teaspoonful of powdered ginger in with them.  I found ginger biscuits were too crispy to chop easily, and the digestives made a better cheesecake base.

The recipe I have is for half digestive and half ginger biscuits. I had wondered about adding dried ginger.

All I know is I thought I had bypassed life and gone straight to heaven when I sampled the one my friend made me at New Year.

How do you make your topping. Mine is half cream ( I will be using Kaymak) and half cream cheese.

Nicola why not make your own very easy ,only prob is getting golden syrup,if not use corn syrup or half and half corn syrup and maple syrup,if I get time I will knock you some up ,bit busy at the moment off to Russia soon for a few months .

That's a very kind offer Lance, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a lazy cook so the idea of making the biscuits myself first isn't likely to ever happen.

Have a great time in Russia, take lots of photos to share. I'm sure we would all like to see them.
