Your fans are waiting!
Been getting your fill of foodie couture? If so, then you may have noticed that shortbread is on the rise again, giving way to the term "Shortbread Heads" (or "shortheads" for short) as a label for the rabidly insatiable fans of this rich and buttery cookie.
Yes, the frantic pace of high-tech life has everyone's brains rattling around louder than a Chinese takeout kitchen, and the planet's foodies are desperately seeking solace in old-world comfort foods... namely, shortbread.
Vermont Shortbread Company heeds the call, providing an online shortbread haven where carb-starved Shortbread Heads can lose themselves in the buttery bliss that is their signature product: homemade, mail-order Vermont Shortbread.
We considered naming this lens "The Ancient Order of Shortbreadians." Why, you ask? For starters, when we say "old world food," we mean REALLY old. Shortbread (or a form of it, at least) has been around since Medieval Times, when molded butter cookies (cookys) were all the rage in Anglo-Saxon Europe. Back then, a serf didn't have much to do other than steer clear of meade-saussed land lords, pluck idly upon his lyre and try to avoid catching the plague. But one mode of self-expression that he found particularly delightful was pressing intricate mold designs into shortbread cookie dough and presenting them to his true luve as a testament to his utter devotion.
Today's Shortbread Heads aren't nearly as ambitious as their shortbread-wittling forefathers, but their love of this simple, butter-filled treat grows more apparent each time they place an online order for authentic Vermont Shortbread or while away their days feasting on food for thought as it's served up daily on the Vermont Shortblog.
Think you could be a direct descendant of the Ancient Order of Shortbreadians, a.k.a. a Shortbread Head? Find out for sure when you put our world famous shortbread to the taste-test and get whisked away to a simpler and decidedly sweeter time and place. Even if you're not of the shortbread bloodline, that's okay. Shortbread Heads of all colors, shapes, sizes and denominations are welcome here.
