I have started a new job and been given the extremely important task of going to the shop to get biscuits for the staff room at lunchtime. I want to make a good impression with my taste in biscuits. Please help! (I’ll be getting about 4 packs)

Just get what’s on offer.

Shortbread, "Horse biscuits" (family recipe), raisin biscuits, hobnobs, jammie dodgers, cinnamon stars, spice biscuits... Pretty much all biscuits, tbh.

Yes, I love biscuits.

Milk chocolate digestives
Plain Hobnobs
Something fruity - garibaldi or the shortcake rounds with raisins
Rich tea or ginger nuts

ALL THE BOURBONS

I think variety and availability are the key words here - as long as you ensure there's always a choice of, say, four, you'll make yourself very popular.

Tesco’s stem ginger biscuits, mmm

My biscuit choices went down well, especially the big tin of shortbread. I’ve been accepted!
Also thanks to the PP who reminded me about gypsy creams. They are AMAZING! And also the chocolate leibniz ones drool

Watch out OP, they'll be so impressed you'll be asked to do lunch for 20 next week. Wink

SukiTheDog · 08/02/2018 10:38

Ummm.... I dont like Garibaldis. That’s it.

PinkHeart5914 · 08/02/2018 10:44

Never the rich tea, the are the lowest of all biscuits.

M&S extremely chocolately white chocolate rounds
Chocolate hobnobs
A good cookie (I.e not Maryland)
Chocolate digestive
Shortbread, I always find it soon goes

Deshasafraisy · 08/02/2018 10:46

Much easier to list the ones I don’t love. That list is incredibly short.
Party rings. End.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 08/02/2018 10:46

Fox's ginger crunch creams. Orgasmic! Seriously! 😋

Rebeccaslicker · 08/02/2018 10:48

Rich tea biscuits are nice if you ice them though!!

bluetongue · 08/02/2018 10:58

My favourites biscuits at the moment are Monte Carlos. They are an Australian biscuit but there might be a UK equivalent.

demirose87 · 08/02/2018 10:58

Custard creams, chocolate digestives, choc chip cookies, malted milk.

ALemonyPea · 08/02/2018 11:01

Depends on my mood.

Mcvities digestives if I’m fancying a cup of tea, they’re the best dunkers
M&S butterscotch and pecan shortbread
Custard creams

@alemonypea butterscotch & pecan shortbread sounds divine!

Rebeccaslicker · 08/02/2018 11:06

Whoa whoa whoa.

Dunking???

That's a crime against biscuits. And tea. And china. And dishwashers/sinks!!!

brizzledrizzle · 08/02/2018 12:46

chocolate ginger nuts but I think they have stopped making them :-(

sumsumsum · 08/02/2018 12:50

If you really want to win friends and influence people, include something gluten free. You've probably got one or two coeliacs in there. Be kind to them. Smile

sumsumsum · 08/02/2018 12:51

I see LemonShark has covered the dairy free...

ALemonyPea · 08/02/2018 13:38

They are the best.

Yes, dunking. I only dunk if I’m ill. I live off digestives and cups of tea.

StylishMummy · 08/02/2018 13:41

Proper Scottish shortbread from M&S (in the stag tin at xmas)

Oreos
