What is the most miserable biscuit in existence?

[noblegiraffe]

DH and I are not eating sweet stuff for January and today he commented that he was so fed up with it he would even want to eat a really crap biscuit, so we were debating what that would be.

He reckoned the worst biscuit would be a Nice biscuit, but I think I would much rather eat one of those than a Garibaldi.

Is there a biscuit even more disappointing, that you would be less likely to accept an offer of than a Garibaldi biscuit?

Custard creams, plain digestives or a malted milk.

i like rich tea only wit a tea mind you an it makes me laugh thinking about peter kay an his rant about biscuits

me biscuits fallen in me brew!

It's how it's done at the Wimpy here 😂 a more upmarket spot may use a more posh wafer, yes.

I always think it's a test for the waitron staff. They have to get it to you before the pink wafer starts to disappear.

I see people have mentioned chocolate fingers, I too hate these. Not even chocolatey or biscuity

I also dont like biscuits that fall apart as soon as you look at them, those vienesse whirl things do that, as do lots of shortbread.

How could I forget about jammie dodgers. Stale and horrible tasting biscuit with a pointless little glob of sticky strawberry flavoured glue dot in the centre.

Arrowroot biscuits or Abernethy both are criminal.

I say you are being very unreasonable OP not to start a proper ranking system within the voting.

You need to start again.

I buy rich tea fingers. Because when I'm desperate for a biscuit I will just eat one or two not an entire packet. And yes, they are miserable.

Anything with chocolate on it has gone downhill since the hideous monstrosity known as palm oil sneaked into the recipes of too many manufacturers.

I used to love the Cadbury's ones with rippled chocolate on - wouldn't even be tempted by them now.

Rice cakes. Are they actually a biscuit? Made for virtuous people who like to munch fresh air.

Expensive and tasteless.

A not-chocolate hobnob. Like eating horse food.

People saying rich tea have clearly never used it as a carrier for tasty things like biscoff spread or jam.

Lemon puffs, fig rolls and garibaldi are not worthy of even a glance let alone a nibble.
I like pretty much every other biscuit. Happy memories of buttered digestives, rich tea and even weetabix (not technically a biscuit but dry dusty cardboard without milk or butter like quite a few biscuits))
Alas as biscuits are basically fat and sugar; I never buy them as I am a greedy pig and could easily scoff the whole pack. Ditto for Blue Riband, Taxi, wagon wheels (no jam) and the most delicious Tunnocks caramel wafers.
We should keep the humble arrowroot as a digestive system soother

Jammy dodger

Rich tea biscuit is definitely the most miserable!

I don’t eat garibaldi biscuits because of the raisins but they have flavour and texture that I imagine could be enjoyable if you like raisins.

Rich tea are just nothing, little flavour and slight crunch, that’s it!

Oh yes! Those nasty things can get in the bin

Bourbon definitely. Promises much, gives nothing. It’s not even sweet

Well garibaldi biscuits have currants which means there is no chance in hell one would get anywhere near my mouth. But that's personal taste.

For pure misery it has to be rich tea. My parents persevere in buying them for the biscuit barrel, determinedly ignoring the fact that they're always left there, even after the custard creams and hobnobs are long gone, until my dad caves and finishes them off.

Rich tea. Only any good if you are pukely.

Pink wafers. Just don't get the attraction.

And they smell like farts If you get near one
custard creams make me feel ill just thinking about them. Haven’t eaten one in 40 years I reckon

Oh! And party rings! Why those things are standard kids party fare I shall never know. Hard and unpleasant, much like sugared almonds.

Oreo’s and fig rolls. The only place for them is replacing the mortar in a brick wall

I can see I made a hideous error in not including a voting option for Rich Tea, that's for sure!

Pink wafer biscuits are definitely the worst biscuits on the planet. Dusty and get stuck between one's teeth. Yuck.
