Patersons Shortbread Anmeldelser 

What went wrong? They have made a shortbread fit for the 21st century so like most things these days it is rubbish. This is not short bread it is a cheap but expensive biscuit. What a shame yet, one more of life's pleasures gone and they know full well what they have done. This is not shortbread by any stretch of the imagination.

There is not a lot to say just BAD BAD BAD.
Looks the part but that it, taste like rancid biscuit.
I think the butter was on holiday that day on the made it. What a terrible shortbread

Stills tastes great BUT got 150g pack and goodness me how thin they have become!

Absolutely terrible, they are mostly made with oil and leave a terrible taste in your mouth.
Shortbread cookies are not supposed to contain oil.
They call it rapeseed oil which is just a fancy name for Canola which is the cheapest crap oil that you can buy.
Never again !

We used to buy this shortbread every week unfortunately to reduce the package weight the biscuits were made much thinner. This has resulted in the flavour and texture of the biscuit being compromised. We would have preferred to pay an increased price to the changes. We no longer buy these biscuits.

WORST SHITBREAD EVER! I can’t get the taste from one bite of this shortbread, or in better terms SHITbread out my mouth. I don’t know if I got a bum batch or what but it tasted like there was spoonfuls of baking soda in just one bite. BUY WALKERS.

The shortbread is ok for the price, However i was in Tesco the other day and notice the same buscuits in two different packages.
First thing i looked at was the weight.
New Package and weight has gone from 380g to 300g.
Another large company taking the p and hoping that customers will not notice.
Also going by the way Tesco are bumping up the price on everything in the store (Another scam like there clubcard prices) The price will not stay at £1 for long.
Unfortunitly another product i will never purchase again as not being made a fool off.
Hope everyone else follows suit. Its about time customers stood up and stopped being exploited by large companys.

Shortbread!!!!! Worst shortbread I have ever tasted! Better just getting a bag of flour out and having spoonful. Horrible and a waste of a pound!!!! Do not buy. As for the best selling shortbread! Yes foe people with no bloody taste buds!

Unfortunately, this product caused a serious digestive reaction. I have read many reviews about the toxicity of rapeseed oil on human consumption and fail to understand why this product includes it in the recipe.

Was given a box as a Christmas gift. Have ended up feeding this 'traditional shortbread' to the birds. It looks like shortbread, granted, but that's as far as the similarity goes. Dry and not a hint of buttery flavour. Without doubt the worst shortbread I have ever tasted. Packaging is very appealing, taste is not! To even describe it as 'traditional shortbread' is totally misleading.

Absolutely terrible. Tasted like raw flour no butter taste at all worst shortbread ever. Does this company not read reviews.

Absolutely disgusting weirdest taste and horrible after taste nothing like short bread at all , dont know how they can call it that, binned it. The rest of the family felt the same.

Truly awful. How on earth does anyone make a biscuit this bad? Has anyone from the company ever actually tried one? If they had surely they would come to the same conclusion

How on earth is this number one best selling brand of shortbread??? Marketing at its finest but seriously don't buy this product it is terrible, in fact I think that the cardboard box would taste better. Even the dog wasnt keen on the shortbread finger, that says it all.

First time we’ve tried it. Doesn’t even taste like shortbread and won’t be buying it again.

Really bad quality shortbread. How can you possibly classify these as shortbread when you can't even taste the butter?? Definitely the result of using more oil than butter to cut down on costs and maximise profits.

You're better off buying supermarkets own brands as they'll taste much better than these. I honestly thought they had gone off when I first tried them but they still had over 6 months shelf life left. Avoid at all costs!!!

Disappointed in Dustbread

I almost want to give this no stars. I bought a packet in Australia at a gourmet food shop which retailed at $8.00 Australian Dollars (I don't know the conversion!) and it was truly disgusting, the worst biscuit I have ever tasted. The humble Arrowroot biscuit was 15 x better than the powdery tasteless chalk masquerading as shortbread. Like a reviewer below - I too felt compelled to leave a review as no doubt many other people are going to jump on google to try and find an explanation for what they just ate as did I. I genuinely believe they forgot to add the sugar and butter and they should really consider a recall of goods.

For those of you intending to leave a finger or two for Santa this Christmas Eve, do the big man a favour and put out a Tim Tam instead.

Honestly I bought these because they were in Tesco on a £1.00 a box. They are tasteless not even sweet or any butter taste to them. I had to google because I honestly thought it was the value range

Worst shortbread I’ve ever had. Really hard and tasteless. No taste of butter whatsoever and it doesn’t melt in your mouth like a shortbread should. Not even the tea soften them out.
Lidl shortbread is less than 1€ and it’s much better. Well, any shortbread is better than that. Never buying this again. Big, big waste of money!

Box was not full opened up packet and 3 or more biscuits were missing from the tray there were just gaps otherwise the biscuits are great quality and taste great but are sometimes overpriced .
