AIBU to ask what is a typical biscuit?

[Meloria]

If a Jammie Dodger isn't a typical biscuit then what is?!

And is it a full moon tonight? Lots of weird threads this weekend.

A digestive

tak1ng - I was going to say digestive therefore that must be the correct answer

I think the humble rich tea is THE definitive biscuit.

Mmmmm fancy some now with a nice cup of strong tea..

Digestive, custard cream etc.
Jammy Dodgers are for special occasions.....

Rich tea, custard cream or bourbon. Jammie Dodgers are special biscuits and definitely not to be shared.

I once had a row with DH because he ate my last Jammie Dodger...

A custard cream.

Jammy dodgers will go first on a plate of mixed biscuits.

I believe chocolate digestives are the best-selling biscuit in the UK, but I could be pulling that fact put of my a$$

yes a typical one for me would be the chocolate digestive

a typical would be that one with smarties on from Aldi

What were those biscuits years ago with a face on them? Oh the nostalgia..

Ginger nut.

Nuff said.

Rich Tea or Malted Milk.

Mmmmmm, Malted Milk. So understated, yet so very delcious and moreish.

Jammie Dodgers aren't typical, they're special.

Jammy dodgers are the greatest biscuits ever.

I'm going to shock you all here - I am not a huge fan of the Jammie dodger. Granted I will eat them but only if it's a choice between that and a malted milk/Nice or the only biscuit in the tin.

I am partial to a dark Choc digestive. But for me it definitely has to be the Jaffa Cake - but surely they don't count as a biscuit?!?

A hob nob or digestive is an everyday biscuit, as are the bourbons, garibaldis, squashed fly biscuits custard creams etc.
Jammy dodgers are in the same book and party rings, just good for a kids party buffet.
All butter shortbread, caramel centred chocolate coated lovelies and other such biscuits are for Christmas, high days and holidays.

A jammie dodger is the god of the biscuits.

I used to drink orange squash THROUGH malted milks ...omg best thing ever (when you are 7)

The rich tea is the biscuit of last resort. All hail the custard cream.

What's a squashed fly biscuit?

No Jaffa cakes don't count as a biscuit, they are a cake because they go hard when they go stale, where biscuits go soft.

I actually prefer custard creams.

Squashed fly biscuits are those shortbread and raisin biscuits with sugar on top.

This should be the official MN biscuit

I think OP it is the type of biscuit a typical woman with typical reproductive ambitions would typically enjoy
