In honour of Tank and taking the smutt out of blonde, here is a tribute to all my favourite biscuits. Ambiguous 'are they biscuits, are they cake, are they chocolate bars?' are more than welcome. Feel free to post your own.
Up first, the one I always go for first in a foxes biscuit tin, followed by taking the first layer off the top, taking them out of the bottom layer then replacing the original layer to give the impression we have only started on the top layer: The jammy dodger

Next up is the sports biscuit, this is a real triple threat of a biscuit. First of all you are entertained by the picture of sports, often I would pump my fist in the air and scream 'come on local sports team' in triumph before I realised it was s static image of stick men. Secondly there is a collectors element to it, often you will see a rare sport like lacross which doesnt figure much in sports biscuit history, other times I like to rifle through the box to find a boxing or football biscuit and have that before anything else. Finally they taste well nice when you dunk them in tea.

Sorry Rich, no wrappers, when I said collectors element I just meant a collectors appeal, you cant actually keep them (unless you don't eat them). |

Couple of great picks there... On the weekly shop there is always this: 2 x Fox's Jam Sandwich Creams 1 x Sports Biscuit 1 x Marks ans Spencer Digestives (No surprise I've put on 2 stone in a year). This thread wont help.  |

I need help on one, a biccy I loved as a kid that I dont know what they are called.
They were rectangular with a cocunuty marshmallow coating on top, this coating was shaped in 6 equal circles in rows of two and were either pink or yellow.

Found it pretty much by typing the description above into google, they were called Jacob's Mikado. Probably havent had one for 25 years but always seemed to have them at kids parties, I used to like to eat the marshmellow first without denting the biscuit (I did the same with the chocoloate on twixs back in the day but Im too old for that shit now).

Unless, I'm mistaken, the first picture in OP is of a Jam Cream and not a jammy dodger.

Yeh that top pick is no Jammie Dodger!
I love pink wafers! Can't beat a ginger biscuit though!

Ive known the first biscuit as a jammy dodger for nearly 31 years, this is really messing with my head.
