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

Do Farleys Rusks count?

Maybe its a false memory, but besides being bigger, they were deffo a lot tastier when I was a kid.

I loved it when we had kids and I could nick their rusks

If you like custard creams Tesco do a rhubarb and custard cream, very authentic taste. 

Another favourite has been the McVities range of flavours in their chocolate digestives, strawberry cheesecake being particularly moreish.

[BJ]

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

If you fancy an online shop Ocado are doing those at 3 for £3, including the chocolate chip and caramel.

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

Do they still have the jokes on? Asking for a friend called Nick.

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.

I don't mind a Garibaldi to be fair

I was going to mention Rusks the last week but held off.

They are amazing.

One of my favourite gaming memories is eating milk chocolate hob nobs whilst playing Elite. Not least because I could metabolise it off.

Hob nobs are one of those biscuits you think you will like because everyone else does but I’m not over fussy to be honest.

I've never liked Penguins but I noticed orange flavour today in Tesco, anyone tried them?

We've had some this week John, they're nothing special especially if you don't like penguins anyway.

More so than Neil Neil orange peel ...the people’s poet ...what a series that was for its time 😀

Edit “ apologies “ your alexi moment “

Yep, probably a daft question

[John C]

These are boss.

[moondog]

These are boss.

They look well tasty,
I love a wafer, but is it really a biscuit?

[kavah]

That is a good question 

 Been going old school recently with Milk Chocolate digestives 

[Nobby Reserve]

Brought some of these back from our jolly to Scotland




Amazing. Wish I'd have brought a palletload back.

[kavah]

^ moreish, need a gallon of tea though 

[liverbloke]

plain old digestive...


...but dunked in orange juice and then you suck the orange juice out


the orange juice looks a bit mingy afterwards though so best not drink it

What the hell is going on here

And on the previous page I saw shouts for garibaldi and custard creams, what is this 1982??

Britain has the best biscuits in the world - next to the royal family I believe they are our biggest draw - and yet some of you continue to disgust and dismay me.

[killer-heels]

Nutella biscuits.

Kimberley's and Mikado's, biscuit plus marshmallow are the sweet spot for me. Pink n Whites and Coconut Delights, send me to heaven.

Anybody who claims Garibaldis are their favourite biscuit needs putting on a register.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

I really don't think it gets any better than these:



The perfect amount of chocolate (i.e. alot) and not too hard either, but also don't crumble.

[Grobbelrevell]

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.

Penguins are like the entry drug onto a road with Tim Tams as the final destination.

[Grobbelrevell]

On a serious note, chocolate Hob Nobs take some beating.

cambridge dictionary - a small, flat cake that is dry and usually sweet

dictonary.com - a kind of bread in small, soft cakes, raised with baking powder or soda, or sometimes with yeast; scone
                       chiefly british,  a dry and crisp or hard bread in thin, flat cakes, made without yeast or other raising agent; a cracker. a cookie

collins - a biscuit is a small flat cake that is crisp and usually sweet

merriam - a small quick bread made from dough that has been rolled out and cut or dropped from a spoon

so by consensus a biscuit is a 'cake' then?

Whatever happened
To Peak Freens Trotsky?
It's the iced ones
That I pick, yeah

[Ghost Town]

That is one lovely biscuit!

The word one with biscuit doesn't really compute

The British meaning of biscuit is different from most of the rest of the world, it sometimes seems.

As I'm sure everyone knows the difference between cakes and biscuits has legal sanction now in the UK, after Regina vs Jaffa Cakes.

For the uninitiated, or those who didn't follow the months of legal wrangling, if it goes hard when stale it's a cake; if it goes soft when stale it's a biscuit.
