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?

Bourbons

Plain Hobnobs

Ginger biscuits

I'll say! They are lovely!

Pink wafers (with the lovely sweet whatever the hell it is inside) are God Tier... as are Lu Petit Beurre...

I don't think you can count Cream Crackers though, they are a transportation/vector for something else, butter, cream cheese, pate - as such they are a fine thing or how else would we convey such toppings into our faces? But alone, no, they were never meant to be consumed naked!!

They are made to be dunked!

Custard Cream biscuits are just vile. Never liked them. Worst biscuits ever.

I like a plain biscuit like rich tea, nice, or ginger nut. Rich tea are great for making chocolate biscuit cake!

Dislike custard creams due to sickly filling and tasteless biscuit.

A Dorset knob is the worst. No wonder the locals started throwing them.

Where I live you don't get a lot of these biscuits so they're all sounding pretty good!

Rich tea & malted milk definitely on list for next visit!

I like the look of the Abernethy biscuits!

I find Hobnobs too sweet.

They are called Hobbits here!

Rich Tea. It's the biscuit equivalent of a Jacob's Table Water cracker. Might as well just eat cardboard.

Absolutely!

"A drink's too wet without one."

I've an American friend and we were talking about graham crackers and that here the closest we seem to sell are Digestives.

Her reply

"They are called what???"

For me it would be a bourbon. Is it chocolate? Not quite.... is it a custard cream pretender? Kind of...

What are you? Commit to a flavour you vague bland bastard!

Can you still get Lincoln biscuits? I love them!

Whereas a rich tea is the worlds worse biscuit in my mind

Cheap biscuits especially those little three packs. I don't mind a decent quality plain biscuit.

Rich Tea <gavel>

ETA - I remember their adverts from years ago. Their angle was “a drink’s too wet without one”. They didn’t even bother trying to pretend they taste good.

Bourbon. They taste of nothing.

I was surprised on visiting Dorset that knob throwing was a specialist local passtime. I was hoping that if I stuck around they might be able to teach me a thing or two😂

Dorset apple cake is scrumptious, though!

You're all wrong!

Worst is Marie biscuits. 🤢🤢 and the sugar free ones are even more disgusting.

The LU Petit Chocolat ones are my version of crack. And when you dunk them in tea the chocolate melts and becomes even more amazing.

I love rich tea and nice biscuits!

I am voting for garibaldi, I hate dried up crusty fruit. Ginger biscuits and this lotus biscoff abomination can get in the bin too.

Never come across a lemon puff.

Bourbon, garibaldi or fig roll.
Love a Nice biscuit.

@SnowyIcySnow with you on the hobnob especially milk chocolate ones. Horrible.

Worst - pink wafer. It sucks all the moisture out of your mouth and doesn't even have any discernable flavour.

I would add fig roll here, but can't get past the smell before wanting to gag.

Best - chocolate hobnob or chocolate digestive.

McVitie's Rich Tea. Utterly useless. One dunk and it disintegrates.

Well, none of you are right. Army ration pack biscuits are the worst, taste like glue and sawdust, and only marginally preferable to chewing off your own finger.

Might as well eat a beer mat.
