If you have a cup of tea and chocolate bourbons; how many do you have?

Minimum 3 for me Grin

Zero. They're awful. Pass me the custard creams or the Lotus biscuits. Grin

Mammyloveswine · 02/01/2020 17:05

A packet Grin I no longer buy biscuits Blush

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/01/2020 17:06

Ewww, they are horrible.
I'm more of a cheese fan, I discovered cave aged goat's cheese this Christmas.
I don't dunk it in my tea though.
If I have to do biscuits then Borders biscuits viennese are my choice.

At least 4.

The competitive under eaters will be along in a minute to say that they couldn’t possibly eat a whole one.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 02/01/2020 17:09

One.....I actually want to cry at the thought someone could only want one biccy. I will have half the packet, please. Nice strong brew to go with.

Deathraystare · 02/01/2020 17:11

Absolutely none. I really, really hate the things!

BackforGood · 02/01/2020 17:17

One

Goldensummer · 02/01/2020 17:18

None. They are disgusting! Throw them away and buy some custard creams instead... 😁

iklboo · 02/01/2020 17:24

I'm with @Goldensummer (but not sharing) Grin

CaptainPovey · 02/01/2020 17:28

None - horrid things

MrsGrindah · 02/01/2020 17:32

One to eat normally. Then I need a second one to separate, eat the chocolate filling, then dunk each half in my tea before eating. I’ve thought about this you see.

Lolapippin · 02/01/2020 17:33

3! They’re only small

IncrediblySadToo · 02/01/2020 17:35

If I’m really hungry, one

If not none 😇

IncrediblySadToo · 02/01/2020 17:35

Only because they’re not very nice! 🤣

blaaake · 02/01/2020 17:35

Usually 3 but I've been known to get through a whole packet in an evening Blush

FlamingoAndJohn · 02/01/2020 17:36

All of them.

GladAllOver · 02/01/2020 17:38

None. They have environmentally destructive palm oil.

ChunkyButFunkeyy · 02/01/2020 17:39

Two or three

Theredjellybean · 02/01/2020 17:41

The whole packet.. Same for custard creams.. Luckily I am what mn like to call a competitive undereater.. Which actually means I only eat when I am hungry, I don't eat mindlessly or cud bored ot cus I have a cup of tea in front of me.
But on the occasions when I am. Hungry and want tea and biscuits I can polish of quite a few.
In fact I think there is something as addictive as crack cocaine in custard creams

ChunkyButFunkeyy · 02/01/2020 17:44

Although I have just realised I've eaten 8 triple chocolate chip cookies throughout the day with my cuppas though...

We3kingsoforientareandabump · 02/01/2020 17:44

Half a packet. I don't even really like them but they are one of the few dairy free biscuits there are so I eat them.

Actually now you've put it in my mind I'm going to go and have some right now.....

LoonyLunaLoo · 02/01/2020 17:48

I’m not a big fan but biscuits in general must be eaten in even numbers of course, so 2 or 4.

If I'm in the mood I can demolish a fair few with a brew or two.
Jaffa cakes though, they don't stand a chance once they're in my sight, specially the red berry ones.
Does anyone remember a biscuit from years ago called Dunkers? They were made specifically for dunking in brews without falling apart. Lovely.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 02/01/2020 19:04

Hate bourbons.

Chocolate digestives, on the other hand...
