Taking The Biscuit!

[NoMercy]

What, in your opinion, is the best biscuit in the universe?

For an everyday biscuit, for texture and dunkability, you just can't beat a Jammie Dodger.

However, for all-round awesomeness, I'm simply torn between 2 M&S favourites - the half-dipped Dutch Shortcake and the buttery Biscuit Curls.

What's your number one?

A digestive, every time !

Captain, I never liked Wagon Wheels, even as a child.

I do love a Kit Kat - should that be classed as a biscuit or a choc bar?

Islay....if you think I'm going to sit here on my hotel bed with my wine and knitting saying.....Jules Destrooper butter thins .......over and over....just to please you.....think again... these walls are as thin as your biscuits..... ;-)

[Islay]

lol they are soooo nice

Rich Tea? Why bother? If you're going to have a biscuit, have a proper biscuit.

The worst ones are those 'squashed fly' abominations.

Mmmmm interesting question, a choc covered biscuit imo.

Now how about Jaffa Cakes, are they really cakes or are they spongy biscuits ?.

Back in the 50s my grandmother had a biscuit barrel filled with Arrowroot biscuits. Can you still get them? Haven't seen them in nigh on 60 years.

[tonyav]

Looks like you can still get them, jd.

OG... Those lotus biscuits are lovely, particularly so with a strong Americano.

Tony, I wouldn't class a Jaffa as a biccy. To me a biscuit should be crunchy or crumbly or, at the very least, have a snap.

[tonyav]

Yes I know what you mean, NoM.

Try Sainsburys Taste the Difference - Hazelnut and choc biccs - to die and dunk for.

Send e'm to me instead, Bernie.

Anyhoo the only biscuits worth dunking are Rich Tea Fingers, everybody know's that.

Mrs c works in a big cash n carry warehouse last month they were doing jaffa cakes 6 packs for a £1 because they had a very short date on them

[NoMercy]

I do have an overwhelming desire to make some nutty cookies sometime soon. I prefer the crunchy variety to the chewy ones.

well, since you've set your catchment area rather wide...

In strictly terrestrial terms, a non-crumbly shortbread.
