What is your faviourite biscuit?

I’m addicted to rich tea biscuits. I’ve been known to ‘drink’ a Stanley flask purely by dunking!

but can you eat them without dunking them in tea (thereby actually giving them some flavour)

TBH I consider dunking to be sacrilegious but accept I’m in a minority here

Curious about these Aldi Oaties. Do they have the salt that was removed from HobNobs, rendering them far less tasty than was previously the case?

In general, I avoid buying biscuits for similar reasons to why I avoid buying crisps (although biscuit sandwiches are probably even wronger than mashed potato and pea sandwiches…)

In general I’d agree that the fig roll is hugely overlooked for trail goodness…

chocolate hob-nob. end of thread.

Fig Roll

Malted milk (chocolate or not).

Whether you like dark or milk chocolate is a whole different question- I think I may be confused because I prefer milk chocolate on hobnobs, but the same on digestives is just wrong.

Oat and raisin cookies

How hasn’t anyone mentioned partyrings? Delicious if a little unpredictable for dunking. Crunchy one second, soggy at the bottom of the mug the next.

And I thought I was the only one!

Not much love for Digestives I notice. Easily the most versatile of biscuits.

I’m with you suggsey – the Ginger Nut is the true and undisputed king and high overlord of biscuits.

Gipsy Creams

I want to change my vote since I forgot about Ikea’s Kakor Chokladflarn, a biscuit so magnificent that a packet is simply not enough and it must be purchased by the crate.

Current favourite is Chocolate chip cookies , in fact just bought 2 packets from Tescos.
Other favourites are Bourbons, Garibaldi and Gingernuts(homemade ones are even better).

When I feel like pushing the boat its Tunnocks caramel wafers all the way.
Edit- Just remembered the evil Jaffa cake which can only be eaten by the packet one is never enough.

I never met a biscuit I didn’t like 🙂

Fox’s extremely chocolatey chocolate cookies or whatever they’re called. Utter decadence and there’s only 9 or so in a packet so you can do the lot and bin the evidence.
Edit :

Tim Tams. Perhaps the best thing to come out of Aussie. Like a Penguin only made with decent chocolate. Try biting off one corner, then the corner on the opposite end, sticking it into hot tea and, erm, sucking hard.

Thebrowndog -you can do that with a Twix too

Shortbread, shortbread or shortbread nothing else comes close

I’m going to go out on a limb and choose chocolate rich tea.

Wafts an air biscuit in thetallman’s direction

TUC cheese sandwich. Awesome biccies.

dark chocolate hobnob (from a packet)
shortbread (home made)

or jaffa cakes although they’re not biscuits (reminds me – I got a metre of them for christmas that need eating)

Maybe it’s time for a diet 😯

Nobeer – out! Now!

Abbey Crunch

The Browndog, I think it’s called a timtam implosion.

Sorry folks, hobnobs are way out, since they started substituting sugar for glucose- fructose syrup, likewise jaffa cakes I think, don’t worry though, there’s always dark choc gingers from sainsburys, tesco and M&S!

Lemon Puffs.

Hotpantsbumgravy. Delish!

I happen to consider myself something of a biscuit connoisseur and have to say, for the last 30 years or so I always end up coming back to the humble Bourbon.

Sainsbury’s Oat Biscuits
Fig Rolls – just finished the last two in the tin – now have an empty biscuit tin 🙁
Tunnocks Caramel Wafers
Also recently found “Caramel Wafers by Sainsbury’s” – lovely and chewy. Spotted them in the aisle with cakes rather than the biscuit aisle in my local store.

Milk Chocolate Bahlsen Leibniz. A superior biscuit.

Raspberry creams.
Used to be beside the custard creams and bourbons. Haven’t seen them in years. 🙁

Woah. All this fancy knackers.

Stop and think. The answer is
McVities Digestives, but not the current dull dry version, the old style before they made them reduced fat.
Then it’s Malted Milk
Then it’s Asda Smart Price ginger biscuits. They come in double packs and you can do one tube of them in one cup of tea.

Rich Tea are OK in an emergency, but to cover them in chocolate is a ruination of both ingredients.

Stuck on an island with only a container of one type of biscuit washed up it would have to be:

Digestive – definitely digestives. Not UK ones, but export ones, that taste like the orignals but a bit smaller.

This thread should be in the chat forum and I refuse to exacerbate that error by contributing.

Garibaldi.

It is in the chat forum,

I love rich tea biscuits. They just work 🙂

I don’t like hobnobs though – too salty.

Those chocolate fox biscuits (clusters?) are like crack. Once opened you can’t stop eating them

Wagon Wheels <before they went all 650b>

Used to be stroopwaffles but since cutting back on milk they aren’t the same balanced on an espresso.

Plain chocolate digest’s dunked .
