Yes.

MaxPaddyandHarry · 15/02/2020 15:05

I love a Tunnocks teacake (got some in the cupboard right now) but they aren't biscuits. Biscuits have to be drunkable.

KittenVsBox · 15/02/2020 15:11

@ChristmasCarcass you have exceptional taste in biscuits. Your list is delicious, with the exception of the hobnobs and teacakes are in the wrong place. Hobnobs are rank. I love everything else on your list tho!

Eurgh no, I really hate marshmallow.

LizzieSiddal · 15/02/2020 15:18

Yes

I don’t want to boast but here goes- Dh bought me a box of 6 for Valentine’s Day.

I only tried them for the first time last year!

They are delicious, but I agree with those saying they're not biscuits.

DidgeDoolittle · 15/02/2020 15:25

You're all wrong, Jaffa cakes are the king of biscuits.

NeverGotMyPuppy · 15/02/2020 15:25

They are definitely biscuits and definitely lovely (gavel). As are: bourbons, choc hob nobs, choc digestive, Gold biscuits, ginger crunch creams, golden crunch creams, ginger nuts, thick milk chocolate ring, chocolate Viennese, shortbread

God I love biscuits.

I did agree with you op, but then I had a jammy wagon wheel for the first time in years.

crystal90210 · 15/02/2020 15:29

Shortbread with chocolate chunks in. Amazing!!

It isn’t a biscuit so no , Morrison’s coconut biscuits are the dogs balls

Corneliawildthing · 15/02/2020 15:42

Never liked teacakes or snowballs but I do like a caramel wafer or the caramel logs (if you still get them) although the coconut bits fall off and make a bit of a mess Grin

xQueenMabx · 15/02/2020 15:43

Yes, love them!

CormoranStrike · 15/02/2020 16:07

I bet you like wagon wheels too don’t you, you monster

Ooh, fighting talk! Grin

I simile the chocolate on a wagon wheel

Can’t beat a Kit Kat. Especially the cookies and cream ones!

I used to love them but now they are inedible since they started using palm oil. Yet another ruined favourite Sad

FoamingAtTheUterus · 15/02/2020 16:12

Fruit shortbread are the best of the best !

Soontobe60 · 15/02/2020 16:15

Nope, either the Tunnocks caramel wafers or Scottish shortbread fingers!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 15/02/2020 16:20

Lotus Biscoff are the best biscuits

Mysterian · 15/02/2020 16:22

They are not biscuits. They are sweets with a tiny sliver of biscuit probably included for legal reasons.

GooodMythicalMorning · 15/02/2020 16:29

@Raera is right, Chocolate hobnobs are the best. A teacake is not even a biscuit.

Babdoc · 15/02/2020 16:33

I bought them for a while to piss off the SNP who tried to boycott them in their vendetta against Boyd Tunnock, the owner, who marketed them as “the great British teacake”. Amusingly, sales went up by a third during the boycott.
The dark chocolate ones in blue wrappers are much nicer than the red wrapped milk chocolate ones. We used to sell the red ones in our school tuck shop in the 1960’s - I used to get one free per day for manning the stall!

Good God no. Envy - not envy
