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?

You can still get lemon puffs

Ahh, well, I think “Aibu to taunt the gluten intolerant with biscuits” wouldn’t have ended well for me 😁

Will you folks stop taunting me with talk of biscuits? I was a connoisseur of biscuits until I realised that I am gluten intolerant.

Yabvvvvvvvu Garibaldi are the bomb, my favourite biscuits yummy.

Hang on. Is a Fig Roll actually a biscuit?

It's Hobnobs that are the work of the devil

Horrible, dry, oaty evil little beings

Garibaldi & lemon puffs are foul.

I will everybody's custard creams and ginger nuts. So to speak Grin

CookieSue222 · 05/12/2018 15:38

Best thing about Garibaldis? When you open the packet, there are only 2 giant biscuits (unless you break them into individual biscuits of course) - one for me, and errr... one for me.

hormonalhorrorshow · 05/12/2018 15:32

Also used to call them dead fly biscuits. I was deeply disturbed by any crunchy bits, which to me only confirmed that the main ingredient was dead flies. I still get a tremor of fear if eating something with dried fruit in it and crunch on a seed 😱

delboysskinandblister · 05/12/2018 15:25

Love a garibaldi reminds me of being a kid and fig rolls

Like a ginger nut (as hot tea dunk proof) unless i am having posh ones then it's a dark chocolate ginger dipped or viennese jam and cream fingers.

Could not stand shortbread/party rings ever sets teeth on edge

No Family Circle crap - it's just wrong

Suzyloo · 05/12/2018 15:25

My parents used to call them fly cemeteries. I only learned their proper name a few years ago. Blush

MulticolourMophead · 05/12/2018 15:18

Dead fly biscuits are OK, Lemon Puffs are evil. I love fig rolls, can eat a whole packet at one sitting, so I don't buy them. I do like a good shortbread. I make them sometimes.

EffEmBee · 05/12/2018 15:16

...there are bad biscuits?? Confused

Planesmistakenforstars · 05/12/2018 15:14

Others have got it right - bourbons are the worst. It would be Oreos, but they're so unbelievably bad that they aren't really in the competition, being an abomination rather than a biscuit.

Merrychristmasyoufilthyanimals · 05/12/2018 14:57

i cant stand bourbons, cust creams...

malted milk biscuits and nice biscuits are rank too....

Beamur · 05/12/2018 14:56

I like Garibaldi biscuits. Such an extravagant name for a simple biscuit.

SwearyG · 05/12/2018 14:54

Fig rolls are the worst, but I'd turn my nose up at a garibaldi too. Anything with a glass of cold milk is the work of the devil himself.

I'd like a ginger nut with a hot cup of tea, thanks.

kelper · 05/12/2018 14:44

Fig rolls are amazing. Lemon puffs are horrid, as are malted milk biscuits.
I love the pink wafers, my mum never bought them when we were kids (Too common apparently!!!) so I buy them at every opportunity!
Best biscuits for dunking in ice cold milk are Tesco chocolate chip digestives. a whole packet a few of these and a glass of milk has been my dinner on more than one occasion!

AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen · 05/12/2018 14:40

I've never even heard of a lemon puff .

Aprilsinparis · 05/12/2018 14:39

Garibaldi and Lemon Puffs are the Devil's food. Feckin foul! Give me a nice chocolate Hobnob anytime.

KurriKurri · 05/12/2018 14:39

If you can get past the taste of soap, lemon puffs aren't too bad.

LittleLlamaontheduskyroad · 05/12/2018 14:36

I love both garibaldis and fig rolls. I do however, hate bourbons and Oreos. This is controversial according to a lot of people I talk to!
