'''Ginger biscuits''' are a popular type of [[snack food]]. They are often referred to as '''gingernuts'''. They are [[cookies|biscuits]] (U.S. cookies) flavoured with powdered [[ginger]]. They generally measure 5cm (two inches) in diameter and are usually eaten with a cup of tea or [[coffee]], and 'dunked' or dipped. This action is considered unpleasant by some. In [[United Kingdom|UK]] popular culture there is a similar if not as publicized debate over this dipping and dunking as there is over [[Marmite]]. |
|||
There are pronounced regional variations in the texture and flavour of gingernuts. In [[Australia]] alone, the states of [[Victoria_(Australia)|Victoria]], [[South Australia]], [[New South Wales]] and [[Queensland]] each have available gingernuts with identifiably different qualities of crunch, texture, flavour and absorption rates. (All use Queensland ginger.) |

The Queensland gingernut is generally regarded to be superior to those of the southern states.{{fact}} |
