Ouma Condensed Milk Rusks (1 Pack) by Nola

😀 they are delicious. Perfect with a cup of hot tea.

I love having a ouma with my morning coffee.

We enjoy these biscuits. The last time we ate these, we were in South Africa enjoying the Zebra who walked past our patio. Very delicious for a quick breakfast.

Coffee dunkers at its best. These rusks are the best...hands down. They arrived on time and tase delicious. Will be purchasing again.

As I am currently reading the wonderful series by Alexander McCall Smith ("The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, which is set in Botswana), and its delightful heroine, Mma Precious Ramotswe, along with her assistant and various friends, is often found to drink a cup of red bush tea (Rooibos), along with an Ouma Rusk, I ordered the rusks not having the slightest idea of what they would be like, but rather out of curiosity.To my delight, they are very, very good. They are not hard, but solid, and can be eaten just as they are or, as seems to be the custom in the books, dipped briefly in coffee or tea. It seems the dipping does enhance the flavor a smidge. I chose the condensed milk flavor because I thought this might be a favorite of Mma Ramotswe.One reviewer of another flavor of Ouma Rusk noted that the shipping charges are excessive. Indeed they are -- $3.00 more than the entire cost of the product. Still, it is the least expensive way to obtain the rusks unless one orders directly from the South African Food Shop, but since they have a $20.00 minimum per order, if you don't order other products, it's not the best way to go.I'm going to make Ouma Rusks a permanent item on my grocery list. They're wonderful dipped in Rooibos Tea, by the way. They seem to go together.

My kids and I are from South Africa and these are still our favorite rusks to eat. So nice to find SA products that we can buy online. A little home treat every now and again.

Tasted just like I remembered, only downside was that the one box of rusks was all broken into tiny pieces and mostly big crumbs, very dissatisfied.

The only negative I could ever give ouma rusks is that there is never enough in a box! Seriously, this is my comfort food. Dipping ouma rusks into rooibos tea is the best way to start the day.
