No.10: Shortbread
It sounds like a joke but with 500 people treated in hospital each year as a result of choking and other biscuit-related injuries, it seems that there’s a good reason they’re kept securely in a tin. We count down the ten most dangerous biccies according to their Biscuit Injury Threat Evaluation (BITE) risk ratings…
Biscuit:
Shortbread
Risk rating: 2.90
It is supposed to be Scotland’s biscuity gift to the world but now we know that it carries a BITE rating of 2.90 we can safely conclude that shortbread is actually some kind of delicious, crumbly Celtic revenge – much as we always suspected.
