Best Biccies

secretsam

Have to be Fig Rolls, have just bought a pack and am munching my way through them. They're even healthy...well,sort of...

Sea_Green_Incorruptible

Eeeeewwww. No way fig rolls. McVities digestives by a mile. Or Chocolate Lesbians (Leibniz) for a treat..

madmix

rich tea. dunked.......sent from the biscuit god himself

TheBoyBilly

No, no, no.........Rich Tea and milk, followed by an afternoon nap. That's what we had at nursery school anyway......before Thatcher the Milk Thief came along

Got to prefer custard creams from Morrisons, 32p for a bettabuy pack that is 2x the size of a Tesco offering. they get my vote cause they don't break up in my lunch box like other biscuits and leave me with crumbs

BentMikey

Ginger nuts, either as they are or dunked in my tea.

redvee

Can we stop this talk about biccies? I'm getting hungry :roll:

bornagainbiker

Has to be Ginger nuts dipped in cold milk then sucked :shock:

Another fav is Gariboldi

mtbcommuter

Can't believe no one's mentioned Hob Nobs, the only biscuit better than a Hob Nob.....is a chocolate covered Hob Nob !

Btw Bornagainbiker & Bentmikey if you like ginger nuts get down to Aldi and try the Ginger Parkins.....my team at work are known for the fact we have a stash of GP's ready for the coffee breaks/meetings.

RimTape

Hob Nobs

One Nibble and Youre Nobbled!

Velox

Massimo

Fox's Chrunch Creams
mmmm.....Crunch Creams

Belv

Garibaldis.

Fig rolls are nice and always used to be a Christmas treat when i was a kid (i have no idea why!). It was the only time they were ever bought and as such, i never think to buy them now except at Christmas.

You mean "one dunks" and even then they dissolve into your drink

You need hob knobs - "again, again dunk me again"

with apologies to Peter Kay

BentMikey

Ah, rich tea. My Dad used to tell me that if I didn't work hard and study at school, the only job I would get would be one putting the holes in rich tea biscuits.

Don't be stupid.......they withdrew them. The champions would be skinny as Rasmussen by now

I always reach for the Jaffa Cakes...

Not technically a biscuit though... :?

Sea_Green_Incorruptible

Ok. I accept rich teas may be a worthy competitor for the biscuit crown.

But chocolate hobnobs? They are just too decadent. Like serving icecream with clotted cream on the side. And squirty cream on top. You might as well go the whole hog and get an eclair.

I too am a jaffa cake fan (though note the lime ones: yuk) but fear they may have to be disqualified by their lack of biscuityness. (doesn't this mean you play less VAT on them or something though? Seriously). Perhaps Serious Sam could offer a ruling on this one?

Yes indeed, Jaffa Cakes are cakes and as such are VAT free, unlike biscuits, which are deemed luxury items, and therefor attract VAT.

You can tell the difference between a cake and a biscuit, because when they go stale, a biscuit goes soft whilst a cake goes hard.

After a bong session, the only tea dunking biscuits for me are bourbons or ginnger nuts. Nothing else comes close.

redvee

The best biccies are the ones somebody else buys and shares with you, better if they buy you faves though.

tardington

Apparently all Digestives are baked in one of three factories - each factory puts a different pattern of holes in, so you can tell where your biscuit came from!

Ps I don't really like biscuits, but the gf *loves* abernethy biscuits. They are horrible.

secretsam

Rich teas are processed cardboard
Suggestives are OK
Hob-nobs...hmmmm...OK with (dark) choc
Garibaldis are bendy, which is just wrong

But custard creams and boubons...getting there, close to fig rolls, but not quite...

Do they still make those bobbly ones, Lincolns were they?

Sea_Green_Incorruptible

Bourbons. Now there's a biscuit that doesn't often get it's fair share of credit.

Kafka\'s Doll

Fox's Premier Tea. Or Yorkshire Tea Biscuits. The heads and tails of dunking biscuits.

Chewy Cheeks

i'm just wondering (in a weak moment) -should a biscuit league table be started.

Premiership, championsip, promotion , relegation, playoffs... wrappers for goal post's.

Or should we all just keep our cake/biscuit joy to ourselves and eat lots of the things.

Does a Tunnock wafer qualify?

Otherwise I'd be tempted to vote for real Ginger cookies - the thick crumbly ones with stem ginger, though you only get about 9 in a pack. That's only just enough to accompany one big mug of tea

Most people seem to have an inability to refuse the ones with a thick chocolate coating on one side - Choco Leibniz, IIRC.

According to http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/news/ the plain chocolate hobnob is returning to the shops. I like hobnobs straight from the fridge so the choccy coating is firm instead of melting onto your fingers.

As this is my first post, I'll start off with at light hearted discussion.

Got to be chocolate hob-nobs all the way.
