What's your favourite biscuit?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Coffee is the devil's pee. Tea is where it's at.
My favourite has to be the chocolate hobnob. Dunked in to Karak tea, it's a delightful mixture of melting chocolate fused with nutty oats. Whoever invented deserves a Nobel prize.
What's your favourite op? |

Mint slice. Think an After Eight, but bigger and with biscuit. On its own. |

I had a box of After Eights last week...and I was eating them at 3:23pm.
My flagrant flouting of societal rules cannot be stopped. |

"I'd rather partial to a viscount.
Do you dunk? Surely not
Nah, for tea I'm strictly a Rich Tea or Digestive man. Viscounts are to be enjoyed au naturel."
Good man, I couldn't bear to hear of a viscount being abused so  |

Rest assured that if I ever defile a poor, innocent Viscount in such a manner, I'll immediately take myself out back and shoot myself. |

Bahlsen is the company that makes them, but the biscuit itself is called Choco Leibniz I believe. |

"Used to favour a Waggon Wheel - but they seem far smaller than when I was a kid "
Where are we drawing the line between a chocolate bar and a biscuit? Id say a wagon wheel is a chocolate bar.
For me the best biscuit is a Jam & Cream.
Best one for dunking in tea is a Hobnob |

Those with motive, political dogma, hate for others, whoever they might be, will always find a way to infiltrate even a thread about biscuits sadly. If they do, I hope it does not take as long to be moved to the politics forum. The sudden influx of political threads on top of the so called daily news from someone that clearly aim to divide, have turned the lounge into a roman amphitheatre. And now I am going to try several biscuits to ensure my appraisal is as accurate as possible. Let the best biscuit win  |

Wars have been started over less contentious statements than this.

As a neutral in this argument, is there any actual biscuit in a wagon wheel? What is the stuff on and below the mallow? It's too soft to be biscuit? |

From the Wikipedia article:
"Wagon Wheels are a sweet snack food sold in the United Kingdom as well as other Commonwealth countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and India. They are also sold in Ireland. They consist of *two biscuits*..."
So yes, Wagon Wheels are biscuits. Now, shall we start on whether jaffa cakes are cakes? |

There are in fact two biscuits in a Wagon Wheel, and don’t give me any of this neutral crap, you need to pin your colours too a mast on important issues like this. |

They were orginally Marie biscuits, which are similar to Rich Tea. God knows what they are now? Some knock off variation maybes?.. I don't manufacture em... I just know they're definitely a biscuit |

"The defence presents unassailable exhibit B: the jingle from the Wagon Wheel adverts:
"Well they're kinda big, and kinda round, with fluffy mallow and *biscuit to be found*...""
Where do we find the biscuit? It's surely too soft to be biscuit.
The best you can call it is biscuity I suppose

"Border brand, dark chocolate gingers 🤤"
But as a cheaper alternative and possibly sacrilege to some, I put dark chocolate digestives and ginger biscuits in the same tin... the digestives soon pick up the ginger flavour  |

"Marks and Spencers extremely chocolaty,chocolate covered custard creams
Chocolate covered custard creams just can't be right!"
Eh! What is this utter madness?
This could in fact be the harbinger 😬 surely this is not a thing? Where do we go from here? I was gassed enough when I discovered chocolate malted milks ffs |

"I can’t believe no one has said party rings!! You lot need to grow up 
Fox’s raspberry creams for the win (not original jammie dodgers, they don’t have any cream in them - urgh)."
Yessss Fox's raspberry creams are the ultimate biscuit although I've not seen them around for a while.. |

This is my choice too.
You can definitely get them in Tesco. Often on sale/reduced price.  |

Aldi do an alternative. They're pretty good, but not a Fox's. |

That should be Aldi’s strap line - “We do an alternative” |

I think there’s a middle ground between biscuit and chocolate bar and that’s the chocolate biscuit ie penguin, wagon wheel, club etc. I don’t think they can be counted as ‘just’ biscuits in the truest sense. But far be it from me to be an arbiter. |

Funny how we think of a nice cuppa and bikki as quintessentially British now, but £300 years ago they didn't drink tea in the UK. Let alone know what a hobnob was. Bloomin foreign imports coming over here refreshing our taste buds.

Chocolate coated Custard Creams.
Following a thread a few days ago about the above biscuits I made a batch of 40 biscuits, it took about 3 hours for my 3 grandkids to devour the lot. |

According to the UK Tea and Infusions Association, the first adverts for tea appeared in a London paper in 1658, available at Coffee houses. |

Ad may have been there in 1658, but national habits take time to adopt don't they. The tea leaf only grows in the tropical areas. So could never grow in the UK.
Take curry; when my family came over in the 1950s & 60s curry was looked down upon, as foreign, smelly, muck.
Today chicken tikka masala is celebrated as a national favourite. What we consider British values is constantly changing was my point. The perfect example being a cuppa. |
