Biscuits can be traced right back to the days of the Roman Empire. The English word "Biscuit" is derived from the Latin "Panis Biscotus" or Bread cooked twice. Containers for biscuits over the Centuries became ever more elaborate, but it was the Victorians who really went to town. This was because the price of sugar dropped, and so began the days of the "Sweet Tooth". The Victorians exploited this fast growing market, and not only made biscuits widely available, but also exploited the Victorian fashion for the "Afternoon cup of tea" by the manufacturing a host of elegant biscuit containers in Silver, Wood, Pottery, Glass, Tin and Paper.
