[rawcusk8]

Loving these right now but the bastards are elusive, been going Tesco and Lidl on the regular but they’re never in stock.

[RedSince86]

Lockdown #1 i discovered Coconut Rings which are amazing, but i rediscovered the magic of Fox's chocolate malts which have taken the top spot now.

[I've been a good boy]

Absolutely love these

[tubby]

You're not wrong on the Viennese, they're delicious.

They were discontinued in our store, very poor seller

[oxenstierna]

I prefer a flan

Have really rekindled my love of biscuits this lockdown - damn you coronavirus!

There's pretty much no biscuits that I don't like

I hate plain Digestives, they are horrible, even the chocolate ones only make them a tiny bit less bland.

Only thing Digestives are good for is being the base in the Cheesecake, what is the point in them besides that.

Biscuit Rant over now.

haha try telling that to my one year old grandson

He's just started walking and never seen him move so fast as when I've got a digestive with me brew.  Stands there smacking his lips together and staring at me until I cave in and break his some off.

To be fair, he hasn't been introduced to any other biccie yet.  So in a few months he probably wont even bother his arse with a digestive once he discovers what other biscuity treats are available to his little taste buds

Lotus Biscoff, mine absolutely love them.

Haven't got the Biscoff spread yet, but i hear it's pure sugar evil for the kids taste buds.

[Buck Pete]

He was crying the other day but his tears soon dried at the mere sight of a digestive.

He looked liked I used to after getting my first pint poured on a Friday afternoon

[gerrardisgod]

Discovered Cadbury’s do Bournville Fingers lately, they’ve become a quick favourite.

[So… Howard Philips]

nice with a spread of butter on though

And even better with some onion chutney and a slice of crumbly Lancashire chese.

Ah that’s shame, maybe I was their only customer? I bought a couple of boxes online last summer, hadn’t seen them anywhere for months then saw them crop up in Lidl last month.

[Slippers]

Nice sandwiched together with melted Mars bars and a drop of golden syrup.

My lockdown discovery has been Borders old fashioned ginger crunch.

Bit pricey but worth the extra. What a biscuit.

[Grobbelrevell]

Mrs Grobbelrevell tried telling me last night that Party Rings are "the best biscuits".

Bloody hell.

[AlphaDelta]

I've always been partial to Jammie Dodgers, ever since I was a kid. Even now I'll happily have a few with a cuppa, this will explain my 44 inch waist!

Oddly, they always taste stale to me.

Bloody good biscuit they are. A favourite of mine but yeah a touch pricey.

Lotus Biscoff, mine absolutely love them.

Haven't got the Biscoff spread yet, but i hear it's pure sugar evil for the kids taste buds.

Eating two of these as we speak, bit of sugar before a run  The spread is sickly but lovely, really silky smooth and sweet but literally couldn't be more sugar, fat and calorie packed if it tried. We bought it to put in a cake during the first lockdown and quickly went through what was left in the jar. I can't believe people could spread it on toast etc as it's just too sickly sweet, but a small bit on the end of a lotus biscuit is lovely.

My lad made French toast with this on the other day, bloody lovely. I also put it on his pancakes on pancake day and I'll put it on his toast as a once a week treat. I eat it from the jar with a spoon too. I'm in the doghouse though, as the missus bought the biscuits that have the filling in the middle, I've ate them all while she was at work 

There is a place by us that does proper milkshakes with ice cream in them, she does a Biscoff one, death by milkshake

Hello 1980's - Ive missed you!!

After tea treat when I was a lad.

[liverbloke]

i've just had a fig roll - are they classed as biscuits or cakes?

anyhoo - lovely

That does sound amazing.

Biscuit all the way.

Just as a Jaffa Cake is quite clearly a cake.

Urgh. Them and Garibaldis give me nasty flashbacks to my Gran saying she had biscuits in the tin, you’d get all excited only to open it up and be confronted with those monstrosities.

[Buck Pete]

Them and Garibaldis

Garibaldi.  Italian revolutionary, ends up as a type of biscuit.

The number of biscuits that are named after revolutionaries

You've got your Garibaldi of course.
You've got your Bourbon
and then there's the Peek Freans Trotsky Assortment.

[reddebs]

Fruit shorties for me.

I know, I know most of you wouldn't look twice or would turn your noses up at them if offered but I couldn't care less, I love them!

[androulla]

Absolutely love these

That is one lovely biscuit!

[BarryCrocker]

That's crackers.

I could eat one or twelve with a mug of tea.

I am on a real Penguin trip at the minute!

When I first moved to Aus we couldn't buy penguins, so we had to eat tim tams instead, a couple of years ago they started stocking penguins in the local shops so I bought a packet. What a disappointment, tim tams are so much better.

[Crosby Nick]

Tim Tams are amazing.

[BarryCrocker]

Tim Tams are amazing.

Tim Tam Slams are the bomb.

[Drinks Sangria]

Tim Tam's far superior to Penguins.

Can't get along with Ginger Nuts. Used to ruin everything else in the barrel as a kid.

I do love Stem Ginger cookies now, but I can't support a biscuit that destroys the flavours of all the others. We don't have any such cross-contamination shenanigans in my household.

I p-p-p--picked up a pack of Penguins about a year ago. Used to love them as a kid.

They were rubbish. The chocolate coating now is about a nanometre think and the biscuit too bitter.

My verdict: shite

On the subject of biscuits that went shite, Wagon Wheels

Have they changed? Maybe a bit more plastic tasting but they weren't amazing to start with

Do Farleys Rusks count?
