You are clearly a person of distinct good taste. As a biscuit addict of some years let me offer you a ginger nut!

Nice.

not that foul rice, this

or 'Air Biscuits' as I like to call 'em

Including reviews...

Funny how many biscuits are named after revolutionaries. You've got your Bourbon, your Garibaldi, and your Peak Frean Trotsky Assortment

as sold by the bloke in the corner shop opposite the Albergo Moderno, Lucca, Italy.

Delicious.

Sort of Rich Tea type things with dark chocolate on them, German, I think, them.

Bleeuch! Never mind Marmite -that's a love hate choice for me. Not keen on Mint Club either. Frankly, didn't know they still made Club. Always been more of a Breakaway or Penguin fan myself.

Been in the States a lot recently and I have to say their biscuits ("shit you eat cookies with gravy, Sheev? "Er, no you don't understand...oh look never mind") as I was saying, their biscuits are sheeyat bwoy I tell you. As are their chocolates. Mind you, I will force down an Oreo if needed.

For me the biscuit, must perforce be dependent on the accompanying hot beverage in question. So. if coffee, the Ginger Nut, is an excellent partner, whereas with Tea, I find a Rich Tea, plain and simple, does the trick. But the King or should I say, Laird, of all biscuits is, of course, the Shortbread finger

chocolate chip cookies are impossibly delicious and easy to eat by the packet. I do love a Bourbon too.

Edit: to answer Twangs request below MCCC's are only to be eaten in one go, straight in, mmmmm.

Eating strategies are of interest too. When I was a nipper we used to carefully nibble the corners off a custard cream along the line of the pattern to make a perfect diamond. Some philistines use to split them open and eat the cream first. I'm a dunker personally. Rich Tea and a pot of tea. Mmmmm.

Absolutely deadly, as they also fall into the "all or nothing" category.

Best eaten just off crunchy, so the pack needs to be strategically opened for a couple of days and left in an airtight container. they then have a slightly soft texture.

Have to be sucked momentarily before the bite - feel those artery-clogging multicalories coating the tongue before saturating your taste buds.

One of the many reasons why I'm on a WeightWatchers diet now.

are my weakness. So plain, so unsophisticated, so good.

Rich teas, digestive, custard cream? You know where you stand. Solid biscuits. But Tunnocks tea cakes and Jaffa Cakes? No snap like a biscuit but hardly a slice of Victoria Sponge. And what about Twix? Marketed as a twin choccy treat yet at least 50% biscuit! It's a minefield!

I could be easily relied upon to be able to polish off an entire pack of plain choc HobNobs, or even plain choc Digestives. The milk choc ones never did it for me.

I try to avoid now, 'cos I know I won't be able to resist...

Tunnock's Caramel Wafers. The biscuit of kings.

Made with 89% organic wholegrain oats, organic sunflower oil, organic palm fruit oil, sea salt, bicarbonate of soda, total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace and perseverance of the saints.

Any other biscuit is not of the elect, and may God have mercy on your sinful, sugar-coated souls.

after walking many a mile to the cafe in Richmond Park.
No maker's name (plain cellophane packaging) so you have
to go there. It's the cafe near Roehampton Gate.

I believe that the sweeter Tesco's own brand milk chocolate digestive is superior to the more celebrated McVities version. This has almost led to fist-fights in the past.

Come on!

Lemon Puffs - Got a lot of time for them too.

You do know they eat these in heaven;

eye wateringly expensive and only available at Christmas. At last, something about Christmas to look forward to.

and gnawing like a coked-up beaver, imagining myself a woodchipper.

The Abigail's Party of biscuits.

The thickness of roll-out plus time and temperature in oven and you've got most biscuits.

No I don't eat the bloody things. Sugar-laden toothfuckers.

Carry on everyone else, though. They pay for my ski holidays.

Either their White Chocolate Chip Cookies or the Extremely Chocolaty Ginger Biscuits. In both cases, gone within same day of packet being opened.

Anyone remember them? Made by Cadbury's. They were like a fruity chocolate digestive but were discontinued after a year or so. I reckon I may well have been the only person who bought them. Whilst in Spain this summer I did experience the sheer ridiculous pleasure of white chocolate Zaps. Like a crunchy Milky Bar. Yum.

You can't beat a whole pack of fig rolls washed down with a mug of sugary tea after a bike ride.

Those things smothered with chocolate with, inexplicably and wastefully, a hole in the middle.

Or Bourbons. My wife hates them, my daughter will tolerate them. 75% of a packet goes to me then.

Shortbread. In its many shapes. Prefereably in a large disk which you break off in 'fan' shapes.

For a while Sainsbury's sold 'Anzac' biscuits from New Zealand. Very crispy. I liked them. They don't do them now. I recall I did a Charlton Heston end-of-planet-of-the-apes like fall to my knees in the biscuit aisle when they disappeared.

authentic shortbread finger or nine with an ice cold glass of milk.

Anyone remember 'dunking time on Radio Caroline? Got to be part of the rock and roll biscuit history - and a bit of unfinished business for me. I can remember he would get 'the listeners' to dunk in time with him at a regular time of the day. No idea which biscuits...

Nurse: the screens!

dunked (of course) just long enough for the biscuit to go soft, but the cream to maintain its firm tooth destroying meltyness

You could still get Abbey Crunch biscuits. Lovely, they were.

- Digestive biscuit with butter and thin slice of cheddar.

- Tunnocks Tea Cakes.

However.......

Fig rolls are evil.

Rich Tea are pointless.

Penguins are tricksy. Fooling the younger me into thinking there were different flavours in a packet because the wrappers were all different colours. Yet they all have the same awful taste.

I'm over it now though.

Made by Bahlsen, available in most supermarkets (although I have never been in Lidl or looked for them in Asda).

Apparently styled as "more chocolate than biscuit".

Eat them. You will thank me.

The defence rests, m'lud.

Yes, really - these chocolate-sandwich-oatmeal biscuits are ace. It could be said that they taste of the cardboard box they come in, but I prefer to think of it as oats.

I'm hungry now.

Thanks guys.

Brilliant!
