Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm plain chocolate ones :coffee:

As far savoury biscuits go - M&S do a flat black olive cracker that is the business with cheese and/or pate.

There isn't a better biscuit on the market and I'm on at least a packet a week.

[jodjam]

As a bairn it was a bourbon. Gently nibble top part off leaving the chocolate exposed. Lick the chocolate then scoff the remaining biscuit. Bliss

[Hibs Class]

Jaffa cakes :devil:

[Mon Dieu4]

Maryland chocolate chip cookies, especially the gooey ones, want them now cheers

[jonty]

Caramel chocolate digestives.

[Pretty Boy]

I used to love Penguins but they are nothing like what they were.

Favourite now is probably a dark chocolate digestive or a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer.

[nonshinyfinish]

jammy wagon wheel

Not a biscuit.

Not a biscuit and you know it, troll.


Tunnocks Caramel Wafer.

Beyond delicious, but not a biscuit.

Best biscuit, as any fule kno, is the Party Ring.

Mind doing that with club biscuits, nibble the chocolate off then eat biscuit. Nowadays chocolate so thin though

[bandylegs_jLeighton]

The only biscuit I really like is a german (empire) biscuit. Mmm.

[Craig_HFC]

Caramel chocolate digestives.

Correct answer!

[Holmesdale Hibs]

custard creams. End of.

[McSwanky]

Not a biscuit.

Caramel wafers are so biscuits.

[Twa Cairpets]

custard creams. End of.

While I do like a Custard Cream, as I said earlier, after the words "Jam Rings" are typed, the thread really should have been closed as they simply are the definitive biscuit.

Anyone disagreeing is wrong.

FACT!

[brian6-2]

original rocky robin.

great biscuit.

[blaikie]

Custard Creams!

[Hibs Class]

If I'm not allowed a jaffa cake then it would have to be all butter shortbread.

[HibbyAndy]

Il chuck in pink panthers tae. Messy but pleasantly enjoyable.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I believe Jaffa Cakes are "officially" biscuits, something to do with less tax being charged on biscuits than cakes, so they went out of their way to prove it!

IIRC Mr Fry on QI is my point of reference! :-)

Did a wee bit more digging, I got it the wrong way round, they successfully argued at a VAT Tribunal that it was a cake as the tax is lower on cakes than biscuits!

Pedant Alert

What differentiates a cake and a biscuit, is a biscuit turns soft when it's past its sell-by date, whereas, a cake goes hard.

That's honestly how the Food Standards folks grade cakes and biscuits for VAT purposes.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Theres not many things that go hard after their sell by date! :-o

I retract my previous Party Ring statement. German biscuit is indeed the indisputably correct answer. I'm sure this has come up on here before, but retaining the original 'German biscuit' moniker is an East coast thing - when I lived in Glasgow I used to get into an almost daily argument with a local snack vendor over this. I'd ask for a German biscuit, she'd ask if I meant an Empire biscuit, I'd say, no, I meant a German biscuit, and the cycle would continue until she cracked and graciously agreed to accept my money in exchange for what was demonstrably a German biscuit.

You can't get them down here, you just can't. I scoff a couple whenever I'm back in Edinburgh, and a while ago a friend posted me four from Morrisons in Warrington. What a day that was.

Wow, I never even knew they were called German biscuits...

Never once heard them being called that in either Fife or Edinburgh...

[Twa Cairpets]

It has been on here before, but for me growing up they were German or Belgian Biscuits. I've never called them Empire biscuits.

[Speedy]

Jammy Dodgers

[CmoantheHibs]

McVities Cheesy cheddars for me.Not sure if they go soft after their sell by date as once they are opened they need to be finished:greengrin

[DH1875]

Orange club :top marks.

[sleeping giant]

Fig rolls.

[Scouse Hibee]

Caramel TRIO were my favourite until they disappeared, now its Tunnocks Caramel Wafer.

[.Sean.]

Disco biscuits

[sleeping giant]

They are like wagon wheels . Not as good as they used to be :-)

[Twa Cairpets]

Orange club :top marks.

Seriously?

That's just wrong

:jamboak:

[Mr White]

Surprised chocolate hob nobs havent been mentioned tbh. Quality biscuits.

[Hiber-nation]

Seriously?

That's just wrong

:jamboak:

I like a wee mint Club though.

Jam Rings eh TC? Not for me...

[Jonnyboy]

Might be a generational thing as I've always called them German biscuits!

[DaveF]

Kit Kat - I have a serious addiction to them.

Old Skool bickies mate. Wagon Wheels choccy digestives

Or even a plain digestive with a wee bit butter spread on them.

But a bickie isn't the same without a quality string coffee.

[Twa Cairpets]

I like a wee mint Club though.

Jam Rings eh TC? Not for me...

Mental Epicureanism.

Oops wrong thread :wink:

Mint or orange in biscuits is just pointless. For example, why spoil matchmakers with artificial essence of vegetation?

Pennywise Jam Rings are the genius ultimate pinnacle of the biscuit makers art, in the same way BBQ Hula Hoops are the indisputable king of crisps.

Baws.

[JohnStephens91]

Personally I enjoy a nice coconut ring from the shops or a milk chocolate digestive.

The best biscuit I ever had was from Melissa's in London on Camden High Street. Chocolate and pecan cookies and cinnamon and oat cookies :drool:

[Northernhibee]

Bourbons.

[Killiehibbie]

My next one.

[Pete]

Years ago I had relatives that came over from Norway regularly and they used to bring these soft, spicy cookies with a sugary, white coating. They referred to them as German biscuits but they were nothing like the ones described earlier.

I could live off them!

Sounds like lebkuchen - sort of like gingerbread but softer.

Fifers call them double biscuits. Mentalists.

I used to be a baker and they were called german biscuits when we were making them.
