We're split down the middle at HQ and it's more important than you think!

I bet you didn't get many for egg mayonnaise.

arrowroots are a refined choice

Maryland only work if you soak them in quite a lot of tea, ime.
I'd like a nice chocolate milkshake, wouldn't you, hatwoman? Or.... a coke float... Or a really nice iced coffee with icercream in it.

SoupDragon · 02/07/2009 14:40

chocolate digestive: milk or plain?

SoupDragon · 02/07/2009 14:40

Plate BTW. Or better still, a biscuit tin/jar.

PuzzleRocks · 02/07/2009 14:39

We keep a pack of Tunnocks Caramel wafers in the pantry for FIL visits. He's quite posh.

Personally I like Maryland cookies but then I am shamelessly vulgar.

hatwoman · 02/07/2009 14:39

I absolutely forbid a thread about ice cream. I have just eaten a mountain of chocolate and if we start talking about ice cream I'll have to go to the ice cream shop and clog my artieries up even more.

slyandgobbo · 02/07/2009 14:39

Also we all know you live on sprouts and humous at HQ and have to clean up any crumbs with one of those mini-Henrys...

FairLadyRantALot · 02/07/2009 14:38

out of the 2, I would say Rich teas are less common than Custard Creams

squeaver · 02/07/2009 14:37

Yes, Kirstie is prob closer to Wayne but surely she would be able to detect the closest thing to "home-made" (while not actually doing it herself)

slyandgobbo · 02/07/2009 14:37

Most of these biscuits are terrible . Except anything by tunnocks.
Is too hot for biscuits also. What about a thread about ice cream?

LovingtheSilverFox · 02/07/2009 14:36

Surely any biscuit with its name printed on it is to be sniffed at?

You make them yourself and arrange them on a delicate bone china plate with a doyley (sp?). At least thats what FILs desperately pretentious gf does!

Custard Creams definately, but then Oreos are better.

All will be revealed in due course, we promise

squeaver · 02/07/2009 14:36

Actually, I bet they've got someone in from McVities and they're using phrases like "enhanced branding opportunities" and "dissemination of key messages"

SoupDragon · 02/07/2009 14:34

Is it a slow day at MN Towers?

slyandgobbo · 02/07/2009 14:34

yy, hatwoman's point...
Stop toying with us HQ

hatwoman · 02/07/2009 14:33

slyandgoob sneaked in there before I pressed post.

squeaver · 02/07/2009 14:33

Nah, they're all pissed (again)

hatwoman · 02/07/2009 14:33

you know what the best thing about this thread is? as far as I can see no-one has queried why mn needs to know. everyone's waded in with their opinions. we really would do anything for mn.

if this is an mn-towers competition to see who can come up with the most ridiculous question and get the most answers my trust will be severely eroded...

slyandgobbo · 02/07/2009 14:30

wtf, are you writing an article for the DM, HQ? Or what?

Hassled · 02/07/2009 14:29

Both equally common.

CMOTdibbler · 02/07/2009 14:29
LovelyRitaMeterMaid · 02/07/2009 14:28

Actually no, custard creams are more common.

fishie · 02/07/2009 14:27

tunnocks are not common they are an authentic artisanal scottish product and they sell them in waitrose.
