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!

Also we all know you live on sprouts and humous at HQ and have to clean up any crumbs with one of those mini-Henrys...

We keep a pack of Tunnocks Caramel wafers in the pantry for FIL visits. He's quite posh.

Personally I like Maryland cookies but then I am shamelessly vulgar.

I absolutely forbid a thread about ice cream. I have just eaten a mountain of chocolate and if we start talking about ice cream I'll have to go to the ice cream shop and clog my artieries up even more.

Plate BTW. Or better still, a biscuit tin/jar.

chocolate digestive: milk or plain?

Maryland only work if you soak them in quite a lot of tea, ime.
I'd like a nice chocolate milkshake, wouldn't you, hatwoman? Or.... a coke float... Or a really nice iced coffee with icercream in it.

arrowroots are a refined choice

I bet you didn't get many for egg mayonnaise.

Plate signifies meanness as you are signifying that you have more biscuits than you are prepared to offer.

A packet indicates that you are such a gluten they never have chance to go off or don't care about crumbs everywhere.

Therefore - tin.

I know I know - thsi whole thread will go on and on and on, with HQ throwing us the odd hook, and then, lightly edited, will hit the shops as the Mumsnet Guide to Biscuits

Oooh, fruitstick, impeccable logic...have you ever considered writing an etiquette book?

I reckon by definition biscuits aren't really posh.

But if a biscuit is to have any pretensions to poshness it must be plain and dull looking. And probably should taste of almonds.

I may well bitoffun

Although I did of course mean glutton not gluten!

That surprises me about tuna and cucumber - the cucumber actually makes the tuna taste too fishy in my view.

Plate!!! you should display your rich tea and party rings on a silver platter, have you no class

Oh but tinned salmon and cucumber...that is the sandwich of kings, surely < salivates >

Justine OBVIOUSLY rich teas
I can't believe you have to ask

Why?

ooooooh BOF you rotter

pmsl at slyandgobbo - only just saw that

See now, two threads for teh price of one HQ. If you fillet this thread carefully, you can get the Mumsnet Guide to Sandwiches and the MN Guide to Biscuits out of it!

I get it for the dog sometimes - it smells like rancid cat food
