DaveShoelace's Super Hot All Time OMG Fantastic Biscuit Thread

[thetank]

Should probably also menrion the yank biscuit, the Oreo. Been widely available over here for a few years as part of the gradual Americisation of our fine land.
Our American cousins love this biscuit, either they're deeply entrenched in the American way of life or they have a wizz of a PR agency or both. There's been countless references to this biscuit in popular culture, including of course our very own Rounders. What looks like a film about poker is actually a film about poker and biscuits.


*picture of Oreo biscuits would go here were it not for aforementioned phone thing*

I don't see the fascination with the things personally. They're not to my taste, I'll eat them but would probably swerve if another biscuit was available.
My life loves the things, and my daughter attacks them with the same fervour as my old Labrador would attack a pig's ear. Full of chemicals I'm guessing.

Onto the debate about what should be considered a biscuit and what should not. My rule is pretty much if you can buy one unit individually in a newsagent, its not a biscuit. So a mars bar is not a biscuit, but a Trio is. Controversially a twix is not a biscuit, and an individual twix in a pack of five twixs is also not a biscuit (My logic here is that if you can consider that a biscuit you can, by the same token, consider fun sized mars bars a biscuit and even worse, a celebration.

So without further ado, a classic biscuit that looks like a chocolate bar, a 54321.

Uber chewy and the advert was great

OMG!

Can I move that word 'reputable' be added to proceed newsagent in your biscuit definition so as to make it more universal?

There were some tinky newsagents up my bit wot sold individual Trios and the like.

Quite sure Barry will agree that the Ginger Nut is a true majestic star in the biscuit world.

[DaveShoelace]

Ginger nut is an odd one for me, they are the sort of biccy I avoid and will always opt for something else in a selection type box, however when I do have one I usually have about 20 in a row, very moorish and undoubtedly a great companion to a cup of tea

[technolog]

Yep, not much of a biccie on its own but when dunked in tea, it is undoubtedly the king of biscuits.

Indeed, the tasty allure of God's chosen biscuit does sneak up on you and when it does, you quite happily succumb to the Ginger Nuts embrace.

On the international feont, ex Aussie bird used to rant and rave about how excellent Tim-Tams were.

*would insert pic of timtams here, but on my phone*

We got ahold of some, they're like Penguins but edible. Actually pretty good.
 

Happy to help.
