If your idea of an ideal afternoon is sitting on the sofa with a steaming cuppa and a packet of biccies practicing the perfect dunk, we have good news. Posh department store Fortnum & Mason<\/a> is about to debut a 200 square metre wonderland dedicated to disks of crumbly goodness.\u00a0From May 14 a new \u2018biscuitorium\u2019 with 70 flavours of biscuits is taking over the mezzanine level of its Piccadilly store<\/a>\u2019s ground floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We can expect an interactive biscuit library with 12 different flavour profiles, where you\u2019ll be able to\u00a0select from categories\u00a0like \u2018buttery and traditional\u2019, \u2018dark and decadent\u2019 and \u2018gluten-free and vegan\u2019.<\/p>\n

Fortnum\u2019s will be divulging some of its heritage recipes, as well as new flavours, through elaborate displays which tell you everything you need to know about each bic: its flavour profile, diameter, texture, ideal dunking time and the perfect tea pairing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Executive pastry chef Roger Pizey \u2013 who made a name for himself in the \u201990s as the pastry chef at Marco Pierre White\u2019s Harvey\u2019s restaurant when it was awarded three Michelin stars \u2013 has whipped up a new \u2018Made in Piccadilly\u2019 selection. Oat & Ganache, Eton Mess and Chocolate, Peanuts & Caramel will be among the flavours available at the counter.<\/p>\n

If that wasn\u2019t decadent enough, also among the many baked wonders will be 400g \u2018Whoppalossus\u2019 sharing biscuit. Unsurprisingly, this gargantuan treat \u2013 measuring 15.5cm in diameter \u2013 will be the biggest biccy ever made by the bougie department store. It comes in two flavours: Marshmallow & Salted Almond Caramel or Pistachio & Raspberry Marshmallow.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a new range of sweet and semi-sweet biscuits designed to pair with booze. Shaped for dunking, the range includes varieties like Yuzu & Pink Peppercorn Biscuits to pair with gin and Vanilla & Smoked Sea Salt Biscuits designed for lovers of a wee dram.<\/p>\n

The new Biscuitorium launches on Thursday May 14 at Fortnum & Mason Piccadilly. If you can\u2019t make it down there, the full range will also be available to purchase online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
