About: Nice biscuit

An Entity of Type: Biscuit, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A Nice biscuit (pronounced /ˈniːs/, like the name of the French city) is a plain or coconut-flavoured biscuit. It is thin, rectangular in shape, with rounded bumps on the edges, and lightly covered with a scattering of large sugar crystals, often with the word "NICE" imprinted on top in sans-serif capital letters. It is often served as an accompaniment to hot drinks, such as tea. The name probably derives from the town of Nice in the south of France. 1929 editions of the Hull Daily Mail carried an advertisement for Huntley & Palmers Nice Biscuits using the phrase "Delightful as the town after which they are named", indicating that by this point their manufacturers intended the public to associate the biscuit with the French city, whether or not that had been the intended pronunciation.

  • Las galletas Nice son un tipo de galleta con sabor a coco. Son delgadas y casi rectangulares, redondeadas en los bordes, levemente espolvoreadas con granos de azúcar, y llevan la palabra «NICE» impresa en letras mayúsculas sans-serif. A menudo se sirven como acompañamiento de bebidas calientes, como el té, o se consumen como aperitivo. Las galletas Nice aparecen en un preciario de la Sociedad Cooperativa del Ejército y la Armada estadounidense de 1895.​ La empresa británica las fabricó ya en 1904.​ Según la firma australiana , una de las diversas marcas de todo el mundo que las producen, las galletas reciben el nombre de la ciudad francesa de Niza (Nice, en francés) y por ello deberían pronunciarse /niːs/, más que como la palabra inglesa nice (‘bueno, rico’), /naɪs/.​ (es)

A Nice biscuit was listed in an Army and Navy Co-operative Society price list in 1895. The British company Huntley & Palmers made a Nice biscuit as early as 1904. The Australian company Arnott's Biscuits also claims to have invented the Nice biscuit. Nice biscuits are sold by various companies under different brand names in most of the British Commonwealth as well as other countries. The Dutch biscuit maker mum claims its Nizza version (introduced in 1910) is the Netherlands' "most beloved cookie", and in 2010 celebrated the company's 125th anniversary with the release of a new cinnamon variant.
