Love that there is a National day for biscuits. What’s your favourite? Mine has got to be a Fox’s triple chunk cookie

It should be banned. Don’t people realise there’s an obesity crisis on?

@serendippitt My bad. I’ll make sure to only ever start threads about salad from now on Hmm

I like most vegetables and salad too if that’s helpful.

Apart from chicory and fennel.

I hate sprouts. Love avocado.

I can tell the difference between a biscuit and salad.

I don’t believe a Jaffa Cake is a biscuit or z cake, but commands a separate category.

We need to have a favourite cake debate next time. Thinking of biscuits have now make me think of cakes 🍰!!

Quite like a viscount too.

My latest discovery are Tesco Chocolatey Swirl, more chocolate than biscuit.

Nice.

ToothyMcPuthy · 30/05/2018 00:06

Vitalogy they look amazing.

I’d choose:

Plain chocolate digestive
Chocolate hobnob
Custard cream

I’ve not a biscuit for so long....

Co-op lemon and white chocolate cookies yummy , I love custard creams and bourbons too

McVites Abbey Crunch was royalty amongst biscuits, an oaty, crunchy, great textured, with a hint of salt in the after taste. This was before anyone had discovered the hipster 'salted caramel' fad. I miss the Abbey Crunch's tragic dimise Sad

Lincoln Biscuits were also a lovely staple biscuit, you knew where you were with a Lincoln Biscuit and a cup of tea, and everything was all right with the world.

These days some biscuits have changed to resemble confectionery. To much cheap chocolate loaded with oil, cmon have a word with yourselves, a biscuit should have a crunch, be good in bed with it's partner the cup of tea. And dare I say it, be able to become breakfast when your running late in the morning. Every household should have a biscuit barrel, and then children will grow up knowing the delight of this thing of beauty being opened and being able to peer inside and select a proper biscuit.

So today is special for biscuit lovers everywhere, and my vote would go to the Ginger Nut, it's got a kick, it goes great with hot drinks and it's not over sweet. However a special treat would be The Tunnocks Caramel Log, all that toasted coconut on the outside is just wonderful.

A custard cream dipped in a cup of tea ☕️

Dark chocolate digestives
Bourbon creams
Maryland chocolate chip cookies
M&S or Waitrose orange chocolate round things - the ones with really thick chocolate and a hole in the middle

... that's me off to M&S at lunchtime then.

Frosty66612 · 30/05/2018 08:51

@vetoncalf I love the orange chocolate rounds from M&S. The chocolate is so thick and indulgent!

Dark chocolate digestives.
Dark chocolate ginger biscuits.
Those oaty crunchy biscuits.
Used to be able to get coffee creams, like custard creams, loved them.
