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 BiscuitBiscuitBiscuit.

Bourbons taste of the 1950s. I actually don't think I could be friends with someone who bought Oreos. Other than that biscuits are pure joy. Ginger nuts ftw.

Definitely Rich Tea here, the dullest of dull. I always associate them with those awful baby groups I was talked into dragging my DD to about 16 years ago. Crappy instant coffee and Rich Tea biscuits, in a noisy echoing sports hall, and me wondering why the hell I rushed lunch to turn up to this. Grin

Biscoff are also overrated IMO.

Oh also, Maryland cookies. Fur coat no knickers.

Oh, and everyone hates this one surely? Biscuit

@dayslikethese1 feel free to share your fig rolls with me!! I love them!!
And common sense dictates you have to eat a whole packet in one, because if you dare to put them in the biscuit tin, the moisture from the fig makes all your other biscuits go soft!

I'm quite happy to see the hatred for bourbons, it means there's more for me.

ScreamingValenta · 13/09/2019 12:47

I must defend bourbons!

The best thing to do is to get two bourbons, take a layer of biscuit of each and sandwich them together so you get one, extra-thick bourbon.

ClaraThePigeon · 13/09/2019 12:47

No. Jammie Dodgers and Jam Creams are great. I love Rich Teas too.

I hate plain Digestives. They make me gag. Pink wafers are horrible as is anything with dried fruit.

ScreamingValenta · 13/09/2019 12:47

off each, that should say.

MutedUser · 13/09/2019 12:48

Party rings are vile and those iced gems yuck

MutedUser · 13/09/2019 12:49

I didn’t like Oreos till I tried those ones covered in white fudge omg heaven

ClaraThePigeon · 13/09/2019 12:49

I love oats but for some reason Hob Nobs always taste of paint to me.

leaserspottedmummybird · 13/09/2019 14:01

I don't like biscuits that you would get when visiting your gran as a child. For example

Nice biscuits
Rich tea 🤮
Custard creams

And also
Wagon wheels
Jaffa cakes
Anzac biscuits( dh makes them)

leaserspottedmummybird · 13/09/2019 14:02

I also don't like Oreos of Jammy dodgers

leaserspottedmummybird · 13/09/2019 14:03

Or jammy dodgers

leaserspottedmummybird · 13/09/2019 14:04

In Ireland there is a type of biscuits with jam and coconut and fluffy pink marshmallowy stuff- mikados I think. I really don't like them either.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 13/09/2019 14:08

leaserspottedmummybird

do you mean these delicious little mallow biscuits (the biscuit has a staleness to it that adds to the 70’s flavour)

Are there any biscuits you dislike ? I have a few...
leaserspottedmummybird · 13/09/2019 14:26

@EnthusiasmIsDisturbed yes that is them. I just don't like them Irish/British ds adores it when granny visits with these

BogglesGoggles · 13/09/2019 14:27

Hobb nobs. Just why? They’re like extra processed anzac biscuits.

fourquenelles · 13/09/2019 14:35

I LOVE Rich Tea biscuits. Great with thinly sliced cheddar or smeared with real butter; good to dunk (quickly) into both tea and coffee, and cheap!

Fig rolls however are Cerberus' poops.

dayslikethese1 · 13/09/2019 16:53

Reading this thread I have come to the conclusion that I like all biscuits Blush

TrendyNorthLondonTeen · 13/09/2019 16:55

Custard creams are shit.

ClaraThePigeon · 13/09/2019 19:59

Custard creams are so good.

fblake · 13/09/2019 20:18

@dayslikethese1 me too!

redchocolatebutton · 13/09/2019 20:23

custard cream
penguins
how can a biscuit be so dry that it doubles in volume when eaten?
