Are there any biscuits you dislike ? I have a few...

[WildRosie]

Favourite biccies are occasionally discussed on here but there must be some that a lot of folk don't particularly care for, or are taste-divisive. Mine are:

Digestives. Too dry and bland.
Rich Tea. Not much better than Digestives.
Jammy Dodgers. Never liked them - too soft and over-sweet.
Garibaldi. Chewy dead flies.
Custard Cream. Never got the appeal.
Oreos. As per Custard Cream but much worse. They remind me of dog biscuits.

I am prepared to be denounced as a heretic but so be it .

Fig rolls, anythng else I can eat if hungry enough.

I'm not that fussed with a lot of these tbh, but I particularly don't like party rings, iced gems or jammy dodgers. They were always held up as a treat when I was a child.
Real shortbread or viennese whirls are delicious but the packet ones are not.

We're rich tea meant to be dunked in your tea, as they're so dry. Digestives are nice with cheese...

Oreos, pink wafers, wagon wheels, custard creams, jammy dodgers, malted milk. All over-sweet and/or reduce to a flavourless paste within seconds. Vom.

Wait a minute! Have I been turning down all offers of penguins these last 40 years because of their horrid fake cheap chocolate coating only to discover that the said coating was short lived and they switched to real chocolate without me knowing???

Hobnobs
Penguins
Fig Rolls
Ginger Nuts
Wagon Wheels

Most Foxes biscuits
HobNobs
Oreos

Love Rich Tea though!

hightyMike. Penguins were only chocolate-flavoured for a relatively brief period. They've been made with real chocolate for at least thirty years but I can't speak for the quality of said chocolate.

Only one Lotus Biscoff disliker so far. Good.

I can't imagine eating lotus biscoff at home. It would be a bit like having Christmas pudding in July or bloody Mary anywhere other than on a plane/at brunch.

Nice biscuits
Pink wafers
Lincoln biscuits
Fig rolls
Viennese whirls
Jammie dodgers

And anything that comes out of a tin of assorted biscuits because they all taste the same.

(Favourite biscuit: Lotus Biscoff)

Lemon puffs are grim. I only ever tried one once. Never again. Not keen on the M&S Belgian biscuits either. And their Christmas boxes of cookies crumbled into tiny bits. Waste of money as they all broke into crumbs when we ate them and ended up being fed to the hoover. I expect better from M&S.

Anything that has lumps of fruit in it. No need.

Not too fond of ginger biscuits either.

Hobnobs. Feels like eating a bit of mdf chipboard

Caramel wafers. my grandma thought I loved them and used to give them to me as treats, the mere though of them made me want to cry! she was a lovely grandma and I felt otherwise free to express my likes and dislikes, so I have no idea why I couldn't just tell her I didn't like them. The thought of them still makes me feel sick, all these years on.

I do love most other biscuits though, but not stoopwaffels, as they remind me of caramel wafers.....

Jammy dodgers
Party rings
Custard creams (DH loves them so I eat them anyway so he doesn't get a whole packet of biscuits to himself)
Plain digestives (with chocolate they are a joy)
Jaffa cakes (can't remember if the court case determined that they were a cake or a biscuit but they're foul and revolting anyway)
I haven't found nice gingernuts in the UK yet.

I LOVE Nice and malted milk and rich tea and have been known to scoff a pack in one sitting with a large mug of black tea.

Borders Dark Chocolate Gingers are the best, apart from Kingston Creams, which are a Kiwi biscuit of perfection. And toffee pops and TimTams (double coat) and mallow puffs and Krispies and I miss Kiwi biscuits.

I seem to remember Danish Butter Cookies being tasteless crap but this was decades ago. They may have improved.

Thin Arrowroot Biscuits - I have never had these but Morrison's certainly used to sell them. What is Arrowroot anyway ?

Anything with coconut in.
Oreos

Oooh, arrowroot biscuits! I haven't had them in YEARS. So good with a hot chocolate.

I know I already said ones I didn't like but Iced Gems are fecking horrible.
However, is anyone else a fan of Tunnock's wafers? Mmmmm!

Nice biscuits are the worst. I sometimes buy one of those multi packs with bourbons, custard creams, malted milk and Nice biscuits in. Even DD (biscuit fiend) won't eat the Nice biscuits, she says she doesn't like the bits in her teeth, and she's not wrong. Luckily DM likes them, so she trades us for her bourbons, which she isn't so keen on. Win win!

Pink wafers are an abomination only second to the horror that are those oblong biscuits with two rows of piped mallow sprinkled with coconut that have jam in between the rows of mallow. Sorry I don’t remember what they are called but they should actually amount to a punishment.

They are apparently jam mallows, jam gallows more like.

I wouldn’t turn one down if it was all that was on offer, but a hobnob just doesn’t really do it for me Kind of like eating a chunk of solidified hamster bedding

I don't Ike ginger so ginger biscuits are probably the only ones I actively hate.

I don't mind plain digestives, but why would you bother when chocolate ones exist?
I trained myself to like fig rolls when I was young as my brother and sister didn't like them so I could scoff the whole packet. I wouldn't go out of my way to but them but I wouldn't turn them down either.

There's not many biscuits I don't like tbh.

Custard Creams
Oreos

I love food and will usually happily tuck into anything on offer but put a plate of custard creams in front of me at a meeting and there they will stay.
