Biffins have the distinction of being named in Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, when Scrooge sees them in a shop window: there were Norfolk Biffins, squat and swarthy, setting off the yellow of the oranges and lemons, and, in the great compactness of their juicy persons, urgently entreating and beseeching to be carried home in paper bags and eaten after dinner. |
