What madness is this (biscuit related)

DH of many years, who I previously believed was an entirely sensible person, has today described chocolate digestives as have chocolate on the bottom & writing on top. To me this is madness, and the chocolate is clearly on the top.

Who is eating their biscuits upside-down?

According to my DP....after some deliberation ...it's all on how you hold them. Apparently if you hold them chocolate side up you run the risk of getting chocolate on up to three fingers....chocolate side down...only your thumb . I suppose it all depends on how many digits you want to lick.😃

Christ - biscuit eating must be fraught in your house if he's needing to grip them with 3 fingers! I either hold the sides (cos I'm a lady), or just use one finger and thumb.

And the chocolate is a topping. It's irrelevant that they put it on the bottom of the biscuit. Once they become a combined entity, the chocolate is obviously the top. Next they'll be suggesting that party rings and iced gems should be presented icing side down.

That does sound like the way a toddler would clutch a biscuit whilst attempting to cram it into their mouth 😬

Oh my god! I'm sat here now having an existential biscuit crisis from reading your post and some replies. Initially I would have agreed with you, choc is on top. But now my mind is blown as a plain digestive is eaten writing side up! I need time to process all of this.

I feel the same. I am unsettled by this revelation.

Maybe this logic is 🤣🙃 but it seems to me that putting the chocolate on the biscuit redefines it as the top. Who brings out a plate of biscuits with the choc side down?

I hold a biscuit by its edges not in a pincer grip

So if you serve them on a plate the “right” way up according to McVities mixed with plain ones it’s Russian Roulette as to if you get a chocolate one or your guest gets them all?
