To think that garibaldi are the worst biscuits?

Greasy weird horrible things. Useless dunked in a hot beverage.
Nothing worse.

I’ve heard strange people claim other biscuits are worse, but they’re generally a bit strange and untrustworthy.
AIBU?

What are those ones that are rectangle with 2 strips of marshmallow and a strip of jam in the middle? They are the worst biscuit because the biscuit base always seems damp.

The best are Toffypops!

DerfelCadarn · 05/12/2018 19:05

Bourbons are the most deceptive biscuit, therefore the worst.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 05/12/2018 19:04

This is so wrong I’m reporting the thread.

Garibaldis are the perfect biscuit.

malificent7 · 05/12/2018 18:59

Nice are DELICIOUS...but i love coconut!

malificent7 · 05/12/2018 18:59

Garibaldi are yummy as are most biscuits...bourbon are not as good as they look though...

ChristmasFluff · 05/12/2018 18:55

Love most biscuits, especially lemon puffs, Garibaldis and fig rolls.

But Nice biscuits? Never was a food so misleadingly named.

BumDisease · 05/12/2018 18:48

Custard creams are shite.

MadMum101 · 05/12/2018 18:45

What an outrage! Garibaldis are the dogs bollox of all biscuits! How can anyone resist the sticky currantness? Madness!

Although DC hate them so haven't bought them in a while or I'll eat the whole pack to myself (DH only countenances Bourbons, the savage).

My fruit hating DS would devour fig rolls constantly if given the chance.

Ginger nuts are disgusting (as is anything with ginger in).

Penguinsetpandas · 05/12/2018 18:45

I always eat whole pack of garibaldi, then always wonder why I did that, but at least all those flies must be one of your 5 a day. 😳

XiCi · 05/12/2018 18:44

Whaaaat. I love a retro biscuit, garibaldi, fig roll, bourbon. Worst biscuits have to be custard creams, and those weird ones that are a sickly sweet biscuit topped with marshmallow!

OnlineAlienator · 05/12/2018 18:43

Yabvvvvu - king of biscuits. Well. Maybe not king. But deffo like a baron or something.

Sunshineandalltherainbows · 05/12/2018 18:43

YABU Gariboldies it flies graveyards as some people call them are the BEST
I want some now!

aquashiv · 05/12/2018 18:42

Nice biscuits now there's an oxymoron

DishranawaywiththeSpoon · 05/12/2018 18:42

I love garibaldi biscuits! Only just found out they were called that but they are great, and I've learnt something new (always thought they were just the weird cardboard raisin ones!)

I'm with those saying there are no bad biscuits. Love a rich tea, love a pink wafer, never had a fig roll so can't comment but almost all the hated biscuits I like. Can't believe there's people denouncing the hobnob!

The only ones I'm not keen on are party rings. And jaffa cakes aren't my favourite but a jafa cake or a party ring is better than no biscuit

TwiceMagic · 05/12/2018 18:40

I am with those confused by the notion that there are bad biscuits.

My grandpa used to give us digestives smothered in butter for supper before bed.

SheHasNotions · 05/12/2018 18:35

Wagon wheels taste stale.

Bourbons are like cardboard.

courderoy · 05/12/2018 18:34

Rich tea spread with butter and marmite. Lovely.

I don’t think that I have met a biscuit that I didn’t like..

JovialNickname · 05/12/2018 18:31

Pink wafers are the worst. They are the slut of the biscuit world, getting their cheap and nasty pink crumbs over all the other nice biscuits in the tin.

Billben · 05/12/2018 18:31

I would choose a garibaldi over any biscuit any day

theconstantinoplegardener · 05/12/2018 18:28

I like Garibaldis. They are nice enough to taste like a treat but not so irresistibly delicious that I'd eat the whole pack.

Can't stand Jaffa Cakes though. That dry sponge is like something I'd use to clean the bathtub.

JovialNickname · 05/12/2018 18:21

I LOVE Garibaldis. I take them out of the packet and eat them as one massive biscuit, made up of about 8 normal sized ones

Whocansay · 05/12/2018 17:49

You are wrong. And they are even better SMOTHERED in butter.
Fig rolls are also good.

You can keep your crappy chocolate covered nonsense.

Jammy Dodgers are an abomination.

CrabbityRabbit · 05/12/2018 17:39

I don't like Jammy Dodgers.

Calzone · 05/12/2018 17:38

I honestly can’t think of a biscuit I don’t like......

fourquenelles · 05/12/2018 17:37

Rich teas are great with a sliver of cheddar and some Branston on top. Not bad dunked quickly in hot tea either.
