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

Ooh, that's a tough one,

Jammie Dodgers are not posh, but posher than party rings I think.

I would say Garibaldo posher than Fig roll but it's close,
I ahve never heard of Tunnocks caramel wafers but was a deprived child and brought up on homemade biscuits.

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 02/07/2009 14:09

Custard Creams are common next to Rich Tea! but neither are what I'd call posh!

BitOfFun · 02/07/2009 14:09

Now Lupus, I was thinking on the same lines as you, but I was thinking Wayne would choose party rings...is he the litmus?

Jammie dodgers and party rings neck and neck - both are extremely posh.

BitOfFun · 02/07/2009 14:08

Oh I LOVE party rings. They are nicer, and a bit posher, in an ironic postmodern way perhaps?

LupusinaLlamasuit · 02/07/2009 14:08

Jammy Dodgers though probably edge it with their retro appeal (Wayne Hemingway would choose them for example). Party Rings a bit nouveau too (although taste nicer)...

SEE! 4 million sold every week. And look what a healthy nation it is!

BitOfFun · 02/07/2009 14:06

My om nom nom was to the wafers, not the policemen and oral sex, btw.

OK, now for the REALLY important one....

Jammie Dodgers versus Party Rings?

squeaver · 02/07/2009 14:06

No only madelaines, surely fruitbeard.

LupusinaLlamasuit · 02/07/2009 14:06

And by the way: Choco Leibniz are NOT posh. They are very nouveau Hyacinth Bucket.

Wot Seeker said are yer actual posh.

stanausauruswrecks · 02/07/2009 14:05

TCW - I know of these beauties nom nom nom, especially the plain chocolate ones

LupusinaLlamasuit · 02/07/2009 14:05

Wrong! Tunnocks caramel wafers are baby led weaning food where I come from. Hence all the cavities too.

BitOfFun · 02/07/2009 14:04

Here Om nom nom

Boco · 02/07/2009 14:04

Tunnocks are lush.

I'm just waiting for BonsoirAnna to find this thread and tell us what the posh nobs are snacking on in Paris.... or don't they do anything so common as eat biscuits over there?

HOW can she say such a thing?? Clearly she is not Scottish or knows anyone who is. Hasn't she read the wrapper where it is 5 billion are sold ever minute of some such thing??

seeker · 02/07/2009 14:03

Tunnocks Caramel Wafers (and their lesser known siblings, Tunnock's Caramel Logs) are the biscuits of the Gods. But they are not posh!

CMOTdibbler · 02/07/2009 14:02

Rich tea are posher than cc. Garibaldis posher than fig rolls

My Ds thinks that my dad is amazing cos he has a packet of custard creams by the bed, and lets DS eat them in their bed.

I want the Waitrose Free From team on to talk about the important things like why don't they do a decent GF jammy dodger

BitOfFun · 02/07/2009 14:02

Yes, I know those! Tunnocks teacakes are nicer though. If a leetle common as well...

Justine says no one has ever heard of Tunnocks Caramel Wafers! Right or wrong?
