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?

To win the coveted M&S 'extremely chocolatey' label, I believe it has to be 'more chocolate than biscuit'.

If you are seeking even more chocolate than biscuit, perhaps what you are looking for is, in fact, a chocolate?

100%. 👍

Which is a whole other thread!!

Galaxy does a cookie crumble chocolate, which has an acceptable ratio of biscuit/cookie to chocolate.

I quite like overshooting the chocolate limit into Rocky Road territory.

I like Dairy Milk Oreo which also approaches the chocolate to biscuit ratio from the chocolate direction, but Oreos have had a right slating on this thread so perhaps I'm an outlier there.

The worst biscuits are those ones that come in the sewing tin. Air in the shape of a biscuit.

If you want to go into "best biscuit" mode I'd vote for anything by Moore's Dorset Biscuits, especially their white chocolate and brazil nut; though I suppose their Dorset Knobs are controversial, biscuit-wise.

Rich Tea. Utterly depressing little brown rings of sadness. Closer to packaging material than food. They take "plain" to a whole new level of plainness. Go to a biscuit festival (I'm guessing there is one) and listen in on the conversations going on next to the Rich Tea stand. It'll all be talk of holidays in Slough, cardboard collections, foot-care routines, and complaints about the wild orgy going on in the Jammie Dodger tent.

If Rich Tea were a car it would be a Volvo. A beige one.

Rich Tea or Digestive with butter and cheese is lush. I like pink wafers too. However, Malted milk are balsa wood in disguise!

I’m in Canada. We are (unfortunately) party to many Oreo flavours, including:

Birthday Cake
Mint
Maple
Cinnamon Roll
Churros (was a mystery flavour thing)
Gingerbread
Fudge covered
Carrot Cake
Lemon
Toasted Cocunut

Similar to KitKat there are also Asian flavours like Green Tea.

They also do double stuf in the original and golden. The original also gets “most stuf” where there’s more filling than cookie. There are also many “thins” variations.

And they’ve just released the “Cakester” in original and golden.

Original Oreo’s are very much the North American Bourbon as far as I’m concerned.

The good thing about Oreos is that they're vegan so if you're buying biscuits for the office and you have a vegan/dairy allergic colleague you can stick a packet of Oreos in and then you're covered without having to go to the free-from biscuit aisle.

I knew the old beige 'Rich tea ' would get a bashing for being boring , but they dunk well in tea and the Mcvitie ones are ok.
They are solid dependable biscuits who never try to be something they are not.

Ginger nut or Bourbon. Love Custard creams & Garibaldi.

Digestive;the only thing they are good for is making deserts.

Garibaldi and nice are both bad, but garibaldi shade it due to the shrivelled currants.

Other horrors:

fruit shortie
ginger nut
sports biscuit
malted milk
pink wafer
custard cream
bourbon

rich tea and digestives are boring on their own but I put butter on them

Oh forgot jammy dodgers

Horrific

‘Nice’ biscuits

Rich Tea. Always left for months at the bottom of the biscuit barrel so they are soggy and even more disappointing!

Rich Tea without a doubt

Hurray! I hate Hobnobs too. Love a McVities Digestive (must be McVities though) and Rich Tea. Oh and don't like chocolate digestives

I think that Aldi chocolate digestives are just as good as McVities. Come at me.

Absolutely Rich Tea, such a joyless biscuit. At least Garibaldi have the raisins to bring a little variety.

They are lovely. Refuse to buy McVities now as they closed the Glasgow factory that had been there over a hundred years and moved production to Turkey.
