BISCUITS (British version)

[GodofCider]

I really like the dry digestives that are imported from Spain to Vermont, I can find them at local grocery stores; they almost never sell it seems, but I can't complain.

Hmm, I like both, but would probably prefer Rich Tea as I am at the moment.

...Now I'm hungry.
Damn you.

Digestives all the way, they're so very delicious.

Its a forum I use and this thread made me laugh as the dscussion of biscuits tends to occur to take over troll threads.

OT: Are Jaffa Cakes a biscuit (apologies if this issue has already been discussed.

According to the veritable Mr. Stephen Fry, Jaffa Cakes are actually cakes.
Biscuits are hard when in date, stale when out of date. Cakes are the reverse. (Hence the problem with American Cookies which can be soft)

Why hasn't anyone mentioned chocolate bourbons? If there was to be one type of biscuit in heaven, it would be chocolate bourbons.

Post 3 sir, one cannot miss the Bourbon.

I just took the Bolands brands.

Biscuit n00b. Why not McVities?!?!

But seriously, Custard Creams are godly to me.

did not see them at the store

 

[Eat Uranium]

Fox's Golden Crunch Creams > all

 

[revolutionaification]

McVities Plain Chocolate Digestives. Get some down ye, son. Seriously, break these things into strips, dunk until they start to melt and, enjoy!

Rich tea are particularly absorbent but make sure they're plain and not chocolate covered. They're just...wrong otherwise.

I don't dunk them but I've heard Custard Creams are surprisingly good in [Insert Hot Beverage of Your Choice].

 

[Ironrose]

yeah I prefer Hobnobs to Digestives and being an aussie have never hear of Rich Tea.

 

[lokun489]

Please xplain as the op didn't do so well in their post, what's a british biscuit?

 

[HT_Black]

I honestly just prefer crackers--they're plain, unfrilly, and utterly devoid of joy; and that's why it's so much fun to crush them out of existence.

Absolute heaven right there! Bloody love a good dunk in a cuppa with one of these bad boys. This win by a mile.


OT - Gotta be Rich Tea > Digestives, hate the feel of digestives and find them too thick and not dunkable like a Rich Tea. Rich tea is also enjoyable without a cuppa tea, too.

I like a biscuit with chocolate on AND caramel in the middle, too! (I'll settle for just chocolate if I have to)

Get a Birtish tea going with your digestive/Rich Tea and you're set for life.
