The Bourbon (pronounced /ˈbʊərbən/[1] or /ˈbɔːrbən/[2]) is a sandwich biscuit consisting of two thin rectangular dark chocolate-flavoured biscuits with a chocolate buttercream filling. Nuh uh
The biscuit was introduced in 1910 (originally under the name "Creola") by the biscuit company Peek Freans, of Bermondsey, London, originator of the Garibaldi biscuit.[3][4][5] The Bourbon name, dating from the 1930s, comes from the former French and Spanish royal House of Bourbon.[6] A 2009 survey found that the Bourbon biscuit was the fifth most popular biscuit in the United Kingdom for dunking into tea.[7]
The small holes in bourbon biscuits are to prevent the biscuits from cracking or breaking during the baking process, by allowing steam to escape.[8] Many other companies make their own version of the biscuit under the "Bourbon" name, including major supermarkets.[9]
McVitie's chocolate-coated Penguin biscuits are made with the same biscuit mix as their bourbon biscuit, but the filling is different.[10]
Etymology
It is commonly believed that Peek Freans chose the name based on the French or Spanish House of Bourbon.[6]
