Yum. Especially the Isle of Mull cheese, as you know :-).
There's another brand of shortbread that I like better than Walker's, from "the Shortbread house of Edinburgh"--I buy it a few blocks away at the Chelsea Market from an English specialty store (there's another English shop around the corner from me but they don't have this brand of shortbread). It's got a different texture than Walker's--not as solid. I searched for it in the UK, thinking it would be cheaper, and not only was it not cheaper, it's only available in fancy tin boxes. And I discovered the tinned shortbread is not as fresh as in the clear cellophane, which is how I buy it here.
