Today we spent time at my sister's place, enjoying their brand new baby girl, Sabrina-- she's gorgeous! Less enjoyable though were the PiMs cookies we tried while there.
They are a cracker-like cookie, topped with a half marshmallow/half-mousse-like concoction, and finally coated in chocolate. Sounds good, right? Wrong.
Both Jessica and I did not enjoy them at all. The cookie was too dry, the chocolate was over-whelming, and the filling had less than average flavor.
PiMs are made by LU Biscuits, and so I have to wonder if they've always tasted this way, perhaps even since LU was founded in 1846? Or maybe across the various changes, from when Lefèvre-Utile Biscuit Co. changed names to LU, or was acquired by Generale Biscuit S.A., and then acquired again by Groupe Danone, the biscuits lost flavor?

I've never tried these before, but I have been tempted. Now I'm thinking I'll stick with Mallomars. |

I liked them...I don't think they were supposed to taste at all like a mallomar. The mousse under the chocolate served as a nice contrast to the harder cookie. |
