To never have biscuits in the house?

[BecclesB]

Me and my OH don't like biscuits so never buy them. So no-one is offered a biscuit when they come round.

@BlackInk I love your children! My cats a bit like that - anyone who comes to the door is there to feed HIM

@LavenderPink

What will you do if the Queen pops in unexpectedly for a cup of tea?

Offer her a rum and cheese

I occasionally buy them but more often more a Kit Kat or Club. If I am having people over and think they will want a hot drink I usually get chocolate Hobnobs or digestives. Or Oreos.

Something I can eat when they have gone 😂

We don't have them because they last all of 5 seconds. But my lovely neighbour bought some beautiful ones back from France yesterday for us - they've gone already!

Get some biscuits in - nothing more depressing than being offered a cup of tea and no nice thing to dunk in it. You might as well offer them a glass of tepid water.

No biscuits here but also never offer anyone to come in either.

Was gonna pop round but I don't think I'll bother now 🙄.

Offer her a rum and cheese good shout

Why do you ask? Had someone complained about substandard service?

We have individual packs of biscuits which we offer guests (2 in a pack). We try not to eat biscuits ourselves and don't like having open packs around so that solves the problem for us. Most of my friends bring their DC and they often appreciate a biscuit if they're running around after them in the garden or have small babies which they're breastfeeding. I wouldn't like to think of anyone being hungry in my house. I'd prefer to offer something and have it refused.

We hardly ever have them in, either, I’d just eat them. (As long as they weren’t custard creams….)
Used to buy them for a certain older friend when he was staying, though - he had to have a pot of tea and biscuits first thing. Only time our teapot ever got used, too.

I buy them if I know someone is coming around. Otherwise no, we wouldn't have them in the house either. If I did buy them they'd be gone the same day anyway.

We never regularly have biscuits in, though we do buy the occasional packet every so often - maybe every few weeks. If I was going round to have tea or coffee at someone’s, I would take biscuits. And if I knew someone was coming round for tea, I would get them then too.

If I buy biscuits then my boys eat them so then we still don’t have any for guests.

@PrincessNutella

WTF. Get on your quaint little English bicycle with the basket and pedal up to the High Street and get yourself a nice packet of chocolate digestives right now before the vicar rings your doorbell and shame is revealed to all the neighbours at the next Jumble Sale.

🤣

No biscuits here either. But my eldest is a Keen Baker so if I was expecting someone I would prob ask her to make some

I buy some if I have a guest coming over but otherwise no. Too tempting and dangerous for the waistline!!!

I bake shortbread most weeks so if people come round on the right day they will get some. I also buy a box of whichever cereal bars are in special offer. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

What about flapjacks? Got any of those? Do you have Jaffa Cakes, or do you consider them a biscuit too?

I don’t think that’s a particularly groundbreaking statement. Lots of people do, lots also don’t.

We don't generally either, and I don't tend to have impromptu visitors so it's not an issue.

If I invite someone round I cater accordingly.

I'm sorry I can't get past the "not like biscuits!"
How?! There are so many! A cheeky kit kat, a sugary nice, a milky cow biscuit, a chunky cookie, even a sickly pink wafer!!! Is it to keep guests out?!?

@Sparklesocks

Well, @ballsdeep thinks it’s controversial.

I have to keep a tin of instant for when my DParents come to visit because coffee made from beans or grounds is strictly for Christmas Day only apparently and has to be made weak and sit stewing in a pot for hours
