To think that garibaldi are the worst biscuits?

Greasy weird horrible things. Useless dunked in a hot beverage.
Nothing worse.

I’ve heard strange people claim other biscuits are worse, but they’re generally a bit strange and untrustworthy.
AIBU?

I don't mind them. Now, fig rolls on the other hand...

Fashionista101 · 05/12/2018 14:27

My brother loves fig rolls. So weird.

agedknees · 05/12/2018 14:27

Yanbu. You might as well wack a damp richtea onto a fly and eat that.

AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen · 05/12/2018 14:27

Nope you're wrong. Bourbon biscuits are foul. And evil. They con you into thinking they will taste like chocolate and they don't. They just taste like a chunk of sickly sweet yuk.

ViragoKnows · 05/12/2018 14:28

Custard creams are MUCH worse. Bleurgh.

KurriKurri · 05/12/2018 14:28

They are bad (always have strange gritty bits in them - why ?) but they aren't in the same league of awful as any biscuit involving coconut. (Nice and Coconut rings, I'm looking at you)

Have you been watching Doctors, Sandy?

Hate fig rolls and Marie biscuits and nice biscuits.
Garibaldi are ace! YABU.
Marie and nice were the "boring " biscuits everyone tried to leave in the selection box when we were kids Grin

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 05/12/2018 14:31

Hobnobs. Cant handle the pressure of hot tea.

longwayoff · 05/12/2018 14:31

Close. But fig rolls take the biscuit.

salsamad · 05/12/2018 14:32

Fig Rolls are without doubt definitely the worst biscuit - closely followed by Lemon Puff 🤢.

suddenlypanicked · 05/12/2018 14:33

Oh I really love them
They are so plain aren't they but if you eat loads they are so tasty

Malted milk are the king of biscuit

All industrially produced biscuits are revolting. Make your own biscuits!

MorningsEleven · 05/12/2018 14:34

No. Them fig buggers are evil.

JellyBears · 05/12/2018 14:35

Love a swished fly biscuit!!

TheViceOfReason · 05/12/2018 14:36

Garibaldi are ok, and i love fig rolls!

Plain digestives are just the saddest excuse for a biscuit ever.

cheesywotnots · 05/12/2018 14:36

We used to call them dead fly biscuits when we were children but they are marginally better than those fluorescent pink wafers which are pointless.

Totally agree but I just CBA so don't eat biscuits unless someone else has made them.

Villanellesproudmum · 05/12/2018 14:36

I really like them and fig rolls! Yum.

MaidenMotherCrone · 05/12/2018 14:36

Love garibaldi biscuits.

Ginger biscuits are terrible, yuck!
Wafer fingers have neither style nor substance.

LittleLlamaontheduskyroad · 05/12/2018 14:36

I love both garibaldis and fig rolls. I do however, hate bourbons and Oreos. This is controversial according to a lot of people I talk to!

KurriKurri · 05/12/2018 14:39

If you can get past the taste of soap, lemon puffs aren't too bad.

Aprilsinparis · 05/12/2018 14:39

Garibaldi and Lemon Puffs are the Devil's food. Feckin foul! Give me a nice chocolate Hobnob anytime.

AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen · 05/12/2018 14:40

I've never even heard of a lemon puff .

kelper · 05/12/2018 14:44

Fig rolls are amazing. Lemon puffs are horrid, as are malted milk biscuits.
I love the pink wafers, my mum never bought them when we were kids (Too common apparently!!!) so I buy them at every opportunity!
Best biscuits for dunking in ice cold milk are Tesco chocolate chip digestives. a whole packet a few of these and a glass of milk has been my dinner on more than one occasion!
