If they're in that cellophane wrapping, doesn't matter what pack of biscuits i get, after opening them i always eat 4 or 5 at once, so can get the wrapper to properly cover them when i go to put them away.

Can't go wrong with Fox's Sports

Is eating a whole packet in one session you're version of being a professional sportsman?

Tunnocks Caramel Wafers, absolutely essential. All their stuff is lovely to be honest. Whenever I go to Scotland I buy shit loads of the stuff you can't easily get down here, like the Snowballs.

Just coming on to post that. They are fantastic.

Someone once told me about a meeting they had there once. Traditional old Scottish family company, wood panelled offices, extremely formal. At the end of the meeting a phone was lifted and a call consisting solely of the words "the biscuits please" was made. A few minutes later a lady with a tea trolley laden with tea and only Tunnocks biscuits appeared in the office.

"The biscuits" are treated with almost reverential respect.

My wife had got a Lotus hamper for my son for Christmas! All sorts of unhealthy goodness in there.

It’s on the shopping list, thanks. Just spotted they do a Magnum type lolly ice as well. Better ration myself

Just correct. But everywhere else they say I’ve lolly don’t they? Fools!

And yeah, we’ve had a stash of them too. Nice but only seen ones the size of a mini Magnum so not satisfying enough!

Always like to see lolly ice used.
I get looked at funny when I say it down here. Even my kids don't get it when I tell them that it's lolly ice.

I bet they say lunch and dinner as well don’t they, and not dinner and tea.

Buy some Cornish fairings (original, try a variation if you’re mental). Thank me later.

I think this is the best brand. You want them to be on the verge of being excruciatingly painful to bite into.

Nah the accent is the least of your worries. What they say is more important than how they say it. You keep giving them scouse logic and it doesn’t matter what accent it comes out in.

They hand out those Biscoff biscuits in the Chocolate Museum in Brussels to dip in the various chocolate. Heaven.

Don’t get me started on what the Americans consider a biscuit

LiamG · « **Reply #157 on:** February 28, 2021, 03:14:41 pm »

The Fox's chunky chocolate are the best ones, perfect for dipping in a cuppa!

I am on a real Penguin trip at the minute! Biting off opposite corners then dunking in your tea and using it as a straw... you need to remove it and eat it quite soon after you get the tea but pound for pound, the best hit of chocolate you can get in a biscuit IMO. The only downside is they don’t last long so you inevitably want another.

M&S double Belgian choc cookies are a delight too. And those Leibniz are pretty tasty too.

And the humble chocolate digestives.

I eat too many biscuits.

Yes, but I'm trying to boycott Fox's after they discontinued these:

Not only my favourite non-chocolate biscuit by a mile, but the best - bar none - biscuit for making the base for a cheesecake, mousse tart, etc

The real kick in the plums is that they still make the biscuit - they put them in their assortment boxes; and, of course, still sell slightly smaller ones as the 'bread' for their Crunch Creams

I did find some in Farmfoods about 3 months ago with a BBE date of this autumn (and bought 4 packets) but they've not had any since.
