The big news story of the day "In tests, 9 out of 10 Brits prefer custard creams"

[franke]

From the Guardian today:

"The custard cream has been voted Britain's favourite biscuit. Respondents placed it above the bourbon and shortbread when asked to name their tea-time treat of choice. More than nine out of 10 people plumped for the custard cream - 93% of the overall vote. Next in line was the bourbon, with just over 2% of the popular vote, while the cookie and ginger biscuit garnered the support of just 1.5% and 1.19% of respondents. The digestive received less than 1% of the vote. More than 7,000 people took part in the online poll organised by the wheat and gluten-free product maker Trufree. "

I'm sorry but I just don't believe it.

2 triple packs eh? So that's an afternoon sorted then...

Has anyone had the M&S viennese selection box.....FAB! every last one, no duds whatsoever.

Mmmm, M & S chocolate selection at Christmas - getting WaaaAAAy too into this thread..

There is no biscuit in a Jaffa as there is no bread in short bread.

Erm, why argue about whether jaffa cakes are cakes or biscuits? They're yummy, that's all you need to know.

Although, i do remember some debate some years ago, re VAT, lol.

don't usually care for chocolate biscuit selections as a rule (we get given them at CVhristmas and I'd much prefer a big tin of chocolates).
Jaffa cakes are cakes i my mind, but to be eaten as a biscuit

British Gov classifies it as cake....for time being!

custard creams are vile

But I can polish off a packet of jaffA cakes once a month with no problems.
My other huge vice is party rings...

Slightly that this is the only thread to have really piqued my interest and i've been loitering on here for 2 hours!

Even more as I should really be on the 10/10 thread

For FMV

Ok, wagon wheels now - have they got smaller ?

Party rings! Love 'em.

Bleurgh!!

Wagon wheels are shite. Theyy taste of polystyrene.

JV - agreed but will still eat them if nothing else in house

Me too

But why would anyone actually buy wagon wheels?

Good point, well made cornsilk.

I agree, wagon wheels are Horse food.

I'd buy them because they remind me of tea at my friend's house and they seemed really big then

I dont buy them but when I was still at home my mum bought them for packed lunches - hated them but still snaffled them if there was nothing else 'biscuity'!

they just make me feel nostalgic, never mind the taste.
I used to love those foil covered teacake things too

Whatever happened to Banjo chocolate bars

You know what else I find putrid (and I do buy these as DP likes them)?

Jammy friggin Dodgers.

Nasty, tasteless, sorry excuse for a biscuit.
