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?

I love Rich Teas dipped in tea and enjoy a good Malted Milk dip binge. Perhaps my council roots..

They are indeed a mortal disappointment. Lobotomised Romany Creams.

Rich tea - like eating cardboard.

Omg Rich teas are my favourite 🤣
I hate ginger nuts (but I hate ginger in general)

That is possibly the best description of a jammy dodger I have ever read.

The 'jam' becoming homeopathic is a good thing though, as that's the worst bit.

Oh 40+ year memory unlocked! My Grandparents had some relative that worked in the McVitties (?) factory in Newcastle (again?) and they used to give GP's huge bags of 'straight off the production line' broken biscuits. All smooshed and mixed up, soft and totally flipping minging.

There are much worse than a Malted Milk.

I used to like dunking them in milk. Or I'd put Nutella on them when we ran out of good biscuits.

On a side note...has anyone tried the lemon & white chocolate M&S cookies 👌

You can thank me later!

Rich Tea Fingers.

Dull as ditchwater, and even I would leave them well alone.

My parents love arrowroot biscuits and actively bulk buy when they see them (they’re in Lincolnshire). They treat them as a rare delicacy.

i know people who like rich tea and custard creams
i like garibaldi

I once had to make a Jammy Dodger costume for a scavenger hunt. DH later wore it one Halloween. It's an icon even if it's not the best to eat.

@Tarkan I don't think we have a Home Bargains round my way but I will be on the hunt! 🍋

Definitely the pink wafer ones, hands down. I actually quite like Garibaldi's and fig rolls. Rich teas are ok too, though morning coffees (like a cheaper, thinner version of rich tea, often rectangular in shape) aren't great. They take me right back to being in preschool when we used to get given one along with a tepid cup of orange squash. I wasn't particularly happy there so they're miserable by association!

I think they are black because they are coloured with squid ink. It's not chocolate. I've never had one though.

i dont like the ones with jam in the middle
google tells me it is fox's sandwich cream

This is an unpopular opinion but I can't stand bourbon biscuits..Nice a close second.

Unless they have no taste buds, how can anyone like malted milk?

agree,
those are the Worst

I like Rich Tea, but sometimes you do need something a little bit bland. My least favourites are the Maryland cookies.

Rich tea, but with salted butter they improve a little.

Rich tea is my fave. Hate garibaldi 'fly' biscuits

Do you know what I absolutely hate... the Wagon Wheel. DH loves a jammie one. It makes me question his judgement tbh.

Everything about it except its size and the hope that that brings is utterly disappointing.

It's not even chocolate! "A chocolate flavoured coating." Boke.

The Morrisons GF digestives are delicious

@FruminariaBandersnatchiosum Good grief, I'd forgotten all about Lincoln biscuits, that's a real blast from the past. DM used to buy those when I was a kid a very long time ago. You are right about the bobbles making them tolerable.

Love the username by the way.
