Biscuits

I don't like cheap biscuits. Only good shortbreads will do.

Plain chocolate digestive for me, and would leave anything coconutty.

Just spotted Abernathy……do like them, the Co op have them

Shortbread and chocolate digestives would go first, would probs leave most others but particularly jammy dodgers, party rings, ginger nuts, bourbons, custard creams ……could go on, I m not a huge biscuit lover

Mcvities digestives I’d take but leave the bourbons.

Borders Lemon biscuits dipped in my coffee, followed by a Jammie Dodger.....and left on the plate would be anything with cinnamon or ginger in it.

I remember buying loose broken biscuits from the market after the war then mixed biscuits 2/6 d a pound hoping there would be some chocolate ones in when we bought them.
Now I always have packets of biscuits in the ‘secret’ cupboard for the grandchildren or any visitors usually jammie dodgers or chocolate digestive but my fav if I had to choose would be Custard creams yummy and you can keep your bourbon thank you.

Rich tea. Because I like to dunk. Inspite of what Peter Kay says, they are the best biscuit for it. ☺

Imagine a plate with all the different varieties of biscuits on it. Which would be your first choice and which one would you leave until there was nothing else? My first would be a Nice ( not easy to find these days) and I would leave the chocolate bourbon on the plate.

Tesco and Poundland sell Nice biscuits.

Borders Chocolate Ginger
Bourbon - ugh!

Yes, Border are scrumptious.

Not a big biscuit fan but strength wilts at the sight of cafe noir or border dark ginger. Yikes......

anyone remember the loose broken biscuits from the 50s?

I bought some Lu biscuits for a competition they were running, and I have to say that they are fabulously tasty.

My second choice will always be a milk chocolate digestive.

Lotus (wish I hadn't been re-introduced to them recently), good quality shortbread (all butter obviously, not good for me but delicious), plus ginger ones. I can easily leave pink wafers, all the ones the grandchildren like, party rings, dodgers Jaffa cakes etc, thank goodness, as they are the only ones I always have in the house. I'm ok if the packet isn't opened, but no self discipline once they are. I must seem a very generous host if someone comes... 'please DO have some more....' 🤣

Years ago I used to be obsessed with Duchy Organic Chocolate Coconut biscuits. They were amazing, if expensive but sadly were discontinued.

Now, I'd go for shortbread and chocolate biscuits but definitely pass on the pink wafers.

Oh, and M&S salted caramel chocolate florentines for a treat.

My father worked for McVities so as children we were spoilt for choice but for me:
First off the plate would be plain rich tea biscuits. (Also loved dunking them in tea)
Left on the plate would be any jam biscuits.
Must admit as an adult I never buy packets of biscuits never have them in my home. Thinking about it, interestingly, my son never has them in his home which means my grandchildren never have them. I wonder who buys packets of biscuits now? We do buy brownies and large cake like cookies. Just not old fashioned packets of biscuits.

What’s old fashioned about a packet of biscuits? I’m bemused🤔

Ginger scrunchies made by me. Superb , blowing my own 🎺.

Would have dark chocolate digestives and malted milk,a big no to bourbons.

joannapiano I love the Tesco lemon shortie, I actually wish it was even more lemony. I tried the blood orange/dark choc ones, was very disappointed, thought they had very little flavour. My fortnightly Tesco delivery arrives tomorrow, I’ve ordered the clementine shortie, it’s the first time I’ve seen it online, so fingers crossed it’s as nice as the lemon.

Chocolate digestive for me. Rich tea biscuits left.
(I keep a packet of tea biscuits for visitors, knowing I will have a biscuit for them and I will never touch them😁)

Chocolate first, wafers left on the plate!

Chocolate digestive first, chip cookie would stay there.

I can't see the point of the Nice biscuits or the Bourbon.

Real shortbread or something oaty with or without chocolate/
