What is the most miserable biscuit in existence?

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?

A a slice of extra mature cheddar cheese or Wensleydale cheese with cranberries to the buttered digestive is delicious

I feel like I need to do a biscuit tasting test to really fully decide.

😅, @ThatsNotMyTeen & @JMAngel1, is it a Yorkshire or Scottish thing?

Be careful he doesn't sink 'em with the bloody Rich Tea biscuits before you're ready to strike!

My kind of man as long as he doesn't comment on me having six at once.

In my cupboard I've currently got 5 packets of pink wafers (59p from Iceland, I stocked up), chocolate digestives and some ginger nuts. I'm not sure that's exciting enough for fast breaking, might have to go shopping!

I like Rich Tea and Nice biscuits. Marie are very boring and I really don't like fig rolls

DangerPigeon · 23/01/2025 18:39

We've just finished off a pack of fig rolls, they're my favourite!

yogasam · 23/01/2025 18:41

Rich tea are meant for dunking, then they're wonderful!
I am not a fan of bourbons (just bleugh) or HobNobs which most people love but I find like gnawing a sugar lump. So sweet!

BebbanburgIsMine · 23/01/2025 18:46

I love Rich Tea!

The worst are Ginger Snaps

ErrolTheDragon · 23/01/2025 18:47

Well I suppose cheap and nasty is better than expensive and nasty. Confused

Proper pink panther ones! 90p in Sainsbury's! I was delighted Grin

The very thought is making my mouth feel dry.

Ginger nuts, otoh are by far the best biscuit for dunking.

I actually don't mind rich tea as long as they are dunked!

My friend absolutely loves the pink panther wafers with the pink cream in.

Rich tea fingers.

As bland as their round cousins and even more likely to fall in your tea.

Fig Newtons it's not WW2 anymore!!!

The brilliance of the HonNob (zeroing in on the only one worth it's salt which is the plain chocolate) is the bits that get stuck in your teeth so you have an after snack.

LadeOde · 25/01/2025 20:38

Hobnobs. Like chewing on sweetened straw,
