Wryly Smilers - Jacob's Mouse

Advantages: lovely with cheese
Disadvantages: makes you eat too much cheese!

...I am very partial to a bit of cheese and the nicest way to eat it apart from on its own, is with some Jacobs Cream Crackers. Jacobs Cream Crackers were originally created in 1885 and are currently owned/produced by United Biscuits. They are the fastest selling cracker in the UK and Jacobs is the number 1 name in crackers. PACKAGING ++++++++++ Described briefly as there is no picture at the top. If I can find one I will add it at the end. The packaging is mostly orange, with black writing on it. There are a couple pictures of crackers on the packaging. (Just to give you an idea of what to look out for on the biscuit shelf). LOOK OF THE CRACKER +++++++++++++++++++++ The cracker is brown and cream in colour. It is square and about 52 by 52, about the size of a post-it note. It is slightly flatter on one side, then...

Advantages: inexpensive.
Disadvantages: Loses freshness once opened

...Every now and again I get fed up of having sandwiches and opt for cream crackers instead. I always tend to buy a small selection box so there is a variety of different shaped and textured biscuits which is why I always buy Jacob?s Selection pack. Now Jacob?s was established in 1885 and is part of the United Biscuit group based in the UK as well as Jacob Fruitfield Foods based in Eire. Inexpensive The crackers are in an orange and black cardboard box which when opened at the side reveals a dark brown, plastic moulded tray containing the crackers, a clear sealed plastic wrapper.

...~What is Jacobs Inn~ Jacobs Inn is a Hostel, part of the Isaacs group and sister hostel to the Isaacs one which I have also reviewed here on Ciao. It is a three story stone fronted building, containing rooms which range from a two bed private room to a 10 bedded dorm. ~Where is it~ 21-28 Talbot Place, Dublin 1, Republic of Ireland. To describe the place where Jacobs Inn is pretty easy really, to your right is a police station, and to the left, a pub. Across the road to the right and into the next street is Busáras, Dublin’s bus station and also a stop for the LUAS (Tram Service), and across the road to the left and up a little, is Connelly station, a train, DART (Dublins InterCity trains), and LUAS station. So you pretty much have it all close to hand. ~Booking~ HostelWorld.com is the older way to book Jacobs Inn online... Read review
