There’s nothing the British like more than a good biscuit – but how do you feel about spreading biscuits on your bread?

Tesco has caused a stir among the biscuit-loving community this week after launching a variety of biscuit-themed spreads, including custard cream spread and bourbon biscuit spread.

The launch of the £1.99 jars has prompted controversy on Twitter, with one user tweeting jubilantly that the custard cream spread “completes my life”.

Others, however, are less enthused. One unimpressed person wrote it was “all kinds of wrong”, while another added: “What is this, America?”

The jars are certainly good news for those of us guilty of prising open bourbons just to eat the filling inside (we all know it’s the only bit worth eating), but the health brigade may need some convincing.
