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!

I see we agree on the plate issue BitOfFun

If Wayne is the litmus at one end of the scale, surely Kirstie is at the other end?

Haven't read rest of thread but neither are posher.

I would say rich tea are nicer. DC would say custard creams.

Not packet or plate but TIN

Custard creams are common as muck and strictly for kids or biddies.

They remind me of my afterschool club when I was a kid (it was common), where we'd get a luke warm beaker of Kiora and a supermarket own brand custard cream

Rich tea are quite common, too. And they taste like sawdust.

You need a box of nice biscuits to be posh, dahlings.

I think you need morningpaper, justabout, Iorek, habbibu etc: didn't they have a loooong spiritual discussion about biscuits one time?

Found it, now in MN Classics!

enjoy...

Wayne Hemingway is retro Pseud chic though- closer to Kirstie than Wayne Rooney, for example.

Custard Creams very Anglican apparently. According to one MP...

Does that help at all?

tunnocks are not common they are an authentic artisanal scottish product and they sell them in waitrose.

Actually no, custard creams are more common.

Both equally common.

wtf, are you writing an article for the DM, HQ? Or what?

you know what the best thing about this thread is? as far as I can see no-one has queried why mn needs to know. everyone's waded in with their opinions. we really would do anything for mn.

if this is an mn-towers competition to see who can come up with the most ridiculous question and get the most answers my trust will be severely eroded...

Nah, they're all pissed (again)

slyandgoob sneaked in there before I pressed post.

yy, hatwoman's point...
Stop toying with us HQ

Is it a slow day at MN Towers?

Actually, I bet they've got someone in from McVities and they're using phrases like "enhanced branding opportunities" and "dissemination of key messages"

All will be revealed in due course, we promise

Surely any biscuit with its name printed on it is to be sniffed at?

You make them yourself and arrange them on a delicate bone china plate with a doyley (sp?). At least thats what FILs desperately pretentious gf does!

Custard Creams definately, but then Oreos are better.

Most of these biscuits are terrible . Except anything by tunnocks.
Is too hot for biscuits also. What about a thread about ice cream?

Yes, Kirstie is prob closer to Wayne but surely she would be able to detect the closest thing to "home-made" (while not actually doing it herself)

out of the 2, I would say Rich teas are less common than Custard Creams
