What Biscuit?

the jammy dodger: king of biscuits.

Velocipede too much rich tea slander going on. go enlighten yourselves people:

1. Take one rich tea,
   
2. butter liberally,
   
3. apply second rich tea to newly buttered surface,
   
4. consume with nice cup of tea.
   gorgeous.
   
   

that is just... sick.
having said that, I used to know someone who spread butter on their chips before eating them.

let's not get started on the whole tim-tam business. I have an australian flatmate, and when I casually observed that it's basically just a penguin - well let's just say there was something of a breakdown in anglo-australianian relationships that evening.

don't make me come over there!!! they are better than penguins, all the englishers in my office agree. particularly the double-coat ones (tim tams, not double-coat englishers).

BringMeMyFix Just had a craving for these - it's been years:

Tunnock's make bad biscuits. Caramel Wafers are all wafer and no chocolate. The "chocolate" in question doesn't even taste particulary chocolatey. And don't get me started on the Tea Cakes. Boak!

So, now that I've isolated my countrymen and set the Tunnock's lawyers on my trail, I'd like to recommend Fox's Chocolate Viennese, the biscuit for the discerning cyclist. :-)

I know someone who likes "boils" their rice in cooking oil.

One of his favourite drinks is to melt an entire block of butter into a glass and top up to a pint with milk.

Colesterolific!

I was a child when I last ate them. Do you think I gave a shit about anything other than sugar content? ;)

(and I'm clearly needing to pander to my inner child at the moment)

Bourbons for tea biscuits, and tunnocks caramel or dark teacakes for general scoffing!

hey, buttered rich tea are not in the same category as deep fried rice or mugs of butter drink.
In fact Buttery biscuits are a little known level of the food pyramid & part of any healthy diet. science has said so.

sainsburys own brand organic digestive. they taste different to mcvities or sainsburys normal digestives, they are slightly more prone to disintegrating when dunking but combine well with cheese if you want a savory snack.

Sainsburys Caramel Shortcake. Tis well nice.

I should like to direct your attention to: http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com which will provide you with hours of snack browsing enjoyment. Go to the biscuit of the week reviews to occupy the next twenty mins without any problems. Feel free to quote your favourites.

I rather like:

"Bourbons are also reassuringly uniform in size regardless of the manufacturer. Perhaps Bourbon biscuits could form the basis of an SI unit of measurement, with biscuits being measured in Bourbons e.g. the digestive has a diameter of 1.13 bourbons, or that ocean liner is 7.6 kilobourbons long, or wavelength of light emitted by that Argon/Krypton laser is 46.1 nanobourbons. I'm sure you see what I'm getting at."

When I was a kid I liked those Hovis Digestives that are shaped like a slice of bread.
Can you buy them still?
And Crinkle Crunch (fox?) for the sugary hit and memorably crap advertising.

it's all about the crackers.

cornish wafers and water biscuits

with plenty of nice cheese

Digestives with butter and a light dusting of sugar, childhood memories!

tomasito it's all about the crackers.

Mmmmm, Mmmmm!!!

Personally I think the idea of dipping a buttered biscuit into a cup of gods finest creation (Yorkshire Tea )is blatant blasphemy.

But I am tempted to try it.

Do you not get a film of fat on the top??

buttered toast in coffee, is yummy

On a separate note, has anyone ever managed to take a bourbon apart leaving the cream perfectly intact?

My Mrs does that. She also has a strange and ritualistic way of dismantling and eating Ferrero Rocher one component at a time.

It's part of the reason I married her.[/quote]

Did you marry the ambassador?[/quote]

No, but she **does **spoil me.

scott not scot DON'T DO IT!!!....i'm begging you chug it....from one tea lover to another...don't do it.

Okay i shall refrain... that was a close one!

scott not scot ggrrr....that's twice i've done that...hehe....murtle's the sick mofo..not you or the ambassador...:)

Me and the ambassador are both sick mofos.

That's why she married me.

I need a sick mofo in my life.. I'm talking buttered biscuit tea dipping sick. Now that's sick.
