The Biscuit Thread

Cookies do indeed count as biscuits.

Custard cremes *dribbles*

whats peoples views on oreo's? are they classed as a biscuit or more like wagonwheels and basically more of a snake?
 
Bah, Custard Creams, in our house they go by a new and more honest name.

CRUNCHY DISAPPOINTMENTS

Seriously. They taste nothing like custard, and they're not very creamy. They're like Viscounts, when I buy one of those I expect minced nobleman all the way through.

Anyway, as for fave biscuits it has to be either the humble choccy digestive, bourbon, or Lidl's fantastic Butter Rings (they're quite large biscuits, but they're so crumbly and buttery).
 
If shortbread counts I will amend my gingernut statement to include that as it is a delicious snack indeed. I think Oreos are legitimately biscuits. To remove them would declassify numerous traditional sandwich biscuits and cause anarchy.

My favourite was always the Fox’s Crinkle Crunch (at least that’s what I think they were called). Very light, crispy and buttery. I also like custard creams. Using my teeth I like to break off one layer of biscuit and then scrape the cream off again using my bottom front teeth and finally eat the other biscuit. Oh and those Danish biscuits that come in two layer tins at Christmas are nice too. I also believe that dunking biscuits is tantamount to sacrilege!!

Rui, I reckon that shortbread is too fancy and sophisticated to be a mere biscuit.

Now having just discussed biscuits in my office (which is sadly a biscuit free zone) we have come up with numerous biscuit questions that we can’t agree on the answers to.

Is a cookie a biscuit or is it a cookie?

Is the Nice biscuit pronounced Nice as in pleasant or Nice as in the southern French city? And if it is pleasant nice, were they being ironic?

And when does a biscuit become a cake i.e. Jaffa Cakes (which must surely be a cake).

Are the individually wrapped, six in a pack biscuits like Penguins and Trios actually biscuits or something too elaborate to be a biscuit? But given that they are clearly not cakes, does there need to be sub-categories for biscuits?

Who’d have thought that the mere talk of biscuits could waste a good half an hour at work? Hurrah for biscuits!!
 
those that know me both inside and outside the forums know i am the proud owner of a cookie monster t shirt, in the land of biscuits, the cooie monster is king.
 
Shortbread is kinda a bit sorta like 'Nice' biscuits. As in the noun not the adjective.
I guess shortbread should be put under the posh biscuit subsection.

Convenience is bliss ^^

chocolate cream or custard cream?
 
Definately chocolate cream. I dont particularly like custard creams. Never have.
Okay from your three basics, [Digestive, rich tea, hobnob], which is your favourite.
I'm going for rich tea, because even though chocolate digestives are one of my favourites, plain digestive are 'orrible.
 
From those three...i say rich tea, i would always have one of them nearby when i started to drink tea, so i could copy my parents in dunking the biscuit in
