To think three is the proper amount of biscuits to have?

[DuvetDayEveryday]

Dh has just taken the biscuit tin away from me as I reached for a third. He says two biscuits is the normal quota and three would be greedy. I say three biscuits minimum is the correct amount to have with your coffee.

I'm right, aren't I? AIBU?

I have done

2 biscuits is enough unless you are a teenager who will eat 2 packets and then ask " what's for tea?"

Atta girl!

3 is correct

Three is correct. One for each hip and one to improve core stability. Well known dietary principle.

1 pack = 1portion

I'd never have more than two. And even then I'm thinking I should really only be having one. Sorry.

i was very proud of my restraint in eating only two of the Borders Ginger with plain chocolate the other day, they are gorgeously grown up, very hot ginger, and very serious dark chocolate

ds asked if he could have one, so I blithely said yes, convinced he'd not like them one it.... and the wee wretch ate the bloody remainder after i had decamped to the sitting room and could not see him

he also had the cheek to ask if there were any more

Three!!! The sheer gluttony! I only have to smell a biscuit and I'm full up, 2 years ago I managed to eat half one but I was pregnant with quadruplets at the time.

I think you need a side plate full of biscuits in front of you and at least one other eater. Then just grab one occasionally until you are full or the plate is empty.

Ideally you need to remain clueless as to how many you actually ate, so obviously more than one.

Simple!

three is the right amount, there is even a song about it

2 or 3

Unless Jaffa Cakes, that's 12 (1 box is a single serving)

0 is the correct number of Rich Tea. Up to seven (7) for everything else.
I read it in the biscuit etiquette guide which came free with my Teapigs.

Sorry for the tangent, OP, but how many biscuits did those little individual packs have in them, I think 3 but someone else is saying 4?

I have only 3 when I'm trying to be good

Nope, you're wrong. Biscuits need to be eaten in even numbers.

Mine and DHs favourite biscuits come in a pack of nine. I have four, he has five. Two? Barely worth opening the packet for.

Heehee - agree with Chinks - three when I am being good, but usually around six on the first sitting.....! 😃

My DD disagrees as she likes even numbers and says 4 is best

Thanks to this thread; dp has has to go and make us a cup of tea and bring in assortment of biscuits.
3 for anything like bourbons/custard creams/chocolate hobnobs
2 for rich tea/digestives etc
Full packs for the cheesecake ones foxes do.

Claim to biscuit fame. My dad used to work at foxes and we'd get broken biscuits coming home all the time. Best job ever

Confession time, other day i had 8 ginger biscuits and 5 choc digestives

runs off in shame

Are they Jamie Dodgers? If so you'll need to dip in

2 is the correct number over here but I find you do need at least 2 servings

I think two is socially acceptable but I would want at least three.
