Do I need any more?

redvee

Currently have 8 packs of Morrisons el cheapo custard creams in the cupboard. Not eating a pack a week though but still buy 2 packs most weeks.

You'd need them if you invited me round for a cuppa...

I used to be addicted to custard creams! I've moved onto bourbons now! A lot better IMHO. I'd still be happy to take all those packs of your hands though!

Custard Creams have a dunkability factor of 8.6, The Ginger Nut peaks at 9.87. If a Digestive ( Mcvities only) remain intact it's a solid 7.9. If it breaks mid dunk then the cuppa is a write-off. A very temperamental temperature dependant dunk digestives are.

I find that keeping digestive buscuits on their edge as you remove them from your tea, and transfer them to your trap helps to avoid the disastrous results of a breakage at mid point.

Dude I would clear you out in one sitting. Custard Creams are the shizzle

I've completely given up buying buscuits because they rarely last to the end of the day I buy them. That's with no help from others. It takes a GREAT deal of restraint whenever someone in work brings a packet in.

While you're all going for the custard creams, I've got my eyes on what looks to be a Famous Grouse Cake tin sitting alongside. I've never had whisky cake, but I'd be more than happy to do some thorough testing.

You would have fight on your hands if my wife was there plus on the cake front, my use to get a rum cake made at xmas ( raisins soaked in white rum for months ) and there would be a rush to get some

passout

I've got ginger nuts......

One of life's biggest trials is limiting yourself to the dunking of no more than 6 custard creams in a coffee.

The Famous Grouse tin is the biscut barrel. I can get about half a packet of CCs in there, self control stopping me eating a whole packet in one session of dunking is called diabetes. No doubt if I didn't have diabetes I would go through a packet.

I take it you don't write a shopping list before you hit the supermarket? This should help prevent a glut building up. Either that or invite your friends around more often.

I've had to stop buying CC's I made the mitake of reading the nutritonal info one day, they're obese death in a packet.


but f*ing lovely.

Mrs Andy went to the shops. Along with other less tasty treats she brought back a packet
of McV's Ginger Nuts. I had it all planned. Get in from wet/windy clubrun then get to work.

Kettle on, shower, mash tea, kit in washer, add milk, dive in.

2 cups of steaming beverage later....ta-da! All gone, the lot! Not an ounce of poor nutrition led guilt is to be seen on my crumb encrusted face.

First/ top biscuit was broken though which could've put a dampener on proceedings but I got over it...at biscuit 8.

Gents - may I present this for your consideration.

stick the kettle on and we'll all come round
