Best Biscuit?

[Biddlybee]

I reckon. It's kind of like melty shortbread

 

[Dirty Martini]

Chocolate Rich Tea!

 

[Jackobi]

do these count as biscuits?

*licks lips*

No, they are Viennese whirls, far too intricate for a biscuit.

 

[Biddlybee]

Not that different from a jammy dodger

 

[Jackobi]

What's a lemon puff?

Soft, puff pastry biscuits with a sugar glaze sandwiching lemon cream fondant.

They are still produced, but are not as good as the rectangular originals.

the presence of cream makes a big difference!

 

[Biddlybee]

It ain't real cream. Custard creams, those lemon puff things ^ creamy. It's the fake fondant stuff.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Digestives.

Jammy Dodgers lack the finesse of a Viennese whirl, they are just not in the same class.

Oh those are fantastic mmm. So good in fact that it would almost seem fair to stab the hang of a guess who reaches for the last one. I wouldn't count them as a biscuit though cos I wouldn't dunk one.

Ginger nut biscuits are my fave, my favourite hangover food.
Can you get gingernuts covered in dark chocolate? That would be amazing

 

[boing!]

Anything with dark chocolate and stem ginger in. Not really an everyday biscuit, but this thread is about Best Biscuits, and they are without a doubt, the best biscuits.

They're both biscuits dammit!

I thought of you as I wrote that

"One rainy day I said to my friends that perhaps I should do something different. They thought I’d lost my marbles. “Mr. Kipling not making cakes” was un-thinkable to them.

How reassured they were when they tasted my Viennese Whirls. Rich shortcake fancies with a swirly buttercream and raspberry filling. No ordinary cake they agreed. I’m sure you’ll agree they are exceedingly good cakes." Mr Kipling

So they are not biscuits, nor cakes, but fancies. Mr Kipling agrees.

 

[Biddlybee]

fancies? pfffft

shortcake = shortbread = biscuit

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

i break them in two and dunk them. BISCUITS! (albeit fancy ones)

 

[Jackobi]

shortcake = shortbread = biscuit

Can you buy a packet of whirls? No, they only come in boxes, biscuits should conform to a 'packet of biscuits'.

 

[Biddlybee]

Rubbish, lots of fancy schmancy biscuits come in boxes... what about those crimbles/crumbles ones?

They are marketed to appear like fancies, when in fact, they are just biscuits in a box.

 

[sojourner]

What about shortbread? That's lush and no chocolate on it.

Vile

 

[Orang Utan]

it's lovely to eat shortbread with a pint or two of full cream jersey milk

Loads of supermarkets have biscuits in a box, fancy biscuits.

Wrong un

I can dunk anything I choose in to my coffee, the act, in itself, does not define a biscuit.

 

[Biddlybee]

But being not in a box does?

 

[DotCommunist]

The hobnob, chocolate coated.

 

[nicksonic]

i prefer a boaster.

 

[boing!]

Examples please.

I can't give exact examples I'm afraid. M&S or Waitrose would definitely sell some. They're normally ridiculously expensive and you get about 6 biscuits in a pack, but they're so good.
