Crucial biscuit question - which are posher: Rich Teas or Custard creams?

[JustineMumsnet]

We're split down the middle at HQ and it's more important than you think!

My om nom nom was to the wafers, not the policemen and oral sex, btw.

SEE! 4 million sold every week. And look what a healthy nation it is!

Jammy Dodgers though probably edge it with their retro appeal (Wayne Hemingway would choose them for example). Party Rings a bit nouveau too (although taste nicer)...

Oh I LOVE party rings. They are nicer, and a bit posher, in an ironic postmodern way perhaps?

Jammie dodgers and party rings neck and neck - both are extremely posh.

Now Lupus, I was thinking on the same lines as you, but I was thinking Wayne would choose party rings...is he the litmus?

Custard Creams are common next to Rich Tea! but neither are what I'd call posh!

Ooh, that's a tough one,

Jammie Dodgers are not posh, but posher than party rings I think.

I would say Garibaldo posher than Fig roll but it's close,
I ahve never heard of Tunnocks caramel wafers but was a deprived child and brought up on homemade biscuits.

Always the Dodgers as I would say party rings are strictly a children's food (party, if you will) which adults may may only eat if a child is nearby whereas the Jammy Dodger is multigenerational.

See fruitstick, that's why I thought Wayne would like them. And they are neater to eat.

no bisquit is posh when you have left in your tea to long and half falls on your t-shirt

lol at Wayne The Litmus.

Boco, that has to be the funniest advert I have ever seen

Party Rings are not neater to eat. the nuclear icing shatters and drops bits all down your cleavage

I bet Reality is doing that right now...

rich tea, garibaldis and jammie dodgers

tunnocks dead common

And posh or not, packet or plate?

It's got to be plate- a plate is posh and pretentious, hence common at the same time.

I am sorry but you cannot have a posh biscuit from a pack (unless to go with cheese). To be posh it has to be homemade.

I know Old Etonians who eat Tunnocks, so they are not class-defined.
I think that HQ needs to consult the Oracle of Biscuits.

A bit of chipped fine bone china, royal worcester or something, both posh and common.
