Really cheesed off with the price of chocolate, so I thought I’d buy biscuits instead.

viscount. What a disappointment.
club. The same

all my favourite lunchtime favourites are disappointing

What’s a really good snack biscuit with a good coating of chocolate?

OK, I’m thick… but what precisely are lesbian biscuits?

I’m cheese biscuits all the way, btw. Particularly with lots of butter.

I'm wondering the same. Initially I thought of Mikados 🙈 but it seems it's to do with the name, not the look.

Them lesbian biscuits are nice

We call them lesbian biscuits too. I sometimes forget that it’s not their real name, and it nearly got me into trouble!

But some of us are still waiting to find out what they are…?

This! The salted caramel ones are delicious.

M&S also do nice florentines in different varieties. They have a Wall of Florentines at Christmas.

Choco Leibniz biscuits. They’re bloody yummy but the lesbian name for them seems to be widespread 😂

Club biscuits are fabulous - orange, mint, fruit and nut.

Anything by Tunnocks

Well, I’ve learned something today.

Tworedgeraniums · 10/07/2026 06:23

I wonder if they know they’re called Lesbian biscuits

and if they didn’t the Daily Mail will pick up on this and they will now 😂

I decided to halve my chocolate consumption instead.

Aldi do a chocolate biscuit called chunky. The chocolate to biscuit ratio is perfect

Club biscuits switched from 'chocolate' to 'chocolate flavour' some time ago:

Mikado to me are those chocolate coated mini breadsticks so I had no idea what you were referring to and had to Google it 🤣.

You definitely need to try a Lesbian/Leibniz if you haven't before.... they're fab. Get thee to Lidl!
