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.

Just googled Gypsy creams...

Apparently thay should now be referred to as Romany creams. Lol!!

Still dont know about the cream though!

Traveller creams?

United Biscuits (who make them) think Jaffa Cakes are cakes

and as I don't like paying VAT I have to agree.

The survey quoted by the OP must have been for fave non-chocolate coated or chipped biscuit.

Custard creams are my least favourite biscuit, rather have a plain one than that yucky gunge.

Free Spirited But A Good Egg Really Creams?

I can see that catching on, 'tis really punchy.

AHA! cakes indeed.
Nothing as appetizing as a good digestive whilst listening to radio 4

aren't gypsy creams now crunch creams? or were g creams chocolate?

Chocolate digestive YES.
Plain digestive - only in no other biscuit in house emergency as applied to wagon wheels earlier.

plain digestives are lovely with philadephia.

That's wrong on so many levels...

we used to have plain digestives with yoghurt at school

ewwww! What flavour yogurt?

The person who has philadelphia say ewwww to yoghurt Be gone with you

any flavour going (though it was the 70s so probably strawberry or peach melba). it's nicer than it sounds

plain digestives taste stale really quickly though...

Rich Teas are nice in yogurt but it has to be raspberry.

sorry Dances, I thought you were dumblesdoresgirl there for a second. See, lack of nice biscuits has sent my eys all funny

Quick, eat more, for the sake of your vision! Actually it's about time I changed my name

Will your name change be biscuit related?

Danceswithgarabaldis?

Danceswithlemonpuffs?

Well I prefer bourbons.

DANCESwithChocolateDigestives maybe
OR
DANCESwithSainsburysTasteTheDifferenceCranberryAndOatCookies - hmm, maybe a teensy bit wordy

I'm just not sure...

JAFFA CAKES ARE NOT BISCUITS. BISCUITS ARE CRUNCHY!

Jaffa cakes have a certain crunchiness to them.
