Nasty shortbread

in Old style MoneySaving
Whilst away in South Wales last weekend I picked up a pack of shortbread fingers for us to munch in the car on the way home. They were nasty (not "compatible" with my OS palate perhaps?) & we didn't eat them.

Grim as they were I'm loath to throw them away, so any ideas? I'm thinking crumbed/buttered for a cheese cake base, but other than that :confused:

Anyone got any bright ideas to use them up?

    Grit your teeth and chuck them in the bin. If they're as bad as that, they won't taste any better in a cheesecake, and you'll have wasted the other ingredients as well

    Hi Lucie,

    I know how you feel about being loath to waste them, but to be honest, I agree with the others. If they were so nasty then there won't be a lot that you can do to make them tasty :)
