Middle class biscuits

[idioteque]

Those Liebniz biscuits where there's more chocolate than biscuit are excellent.

I am a fan of good old milk choccy digestives/hobnobs though, dunked in tea (although there's always a chunk which falls off into the tea and you have to unappealingly slurp at the end)

 

[idioteque]

Oh God, how could I have forgotten PARTY RINGS!

use a spoon

I normally like my lumpen prole biccies of squashed fly or digestive, but tescos have enticed me with their apple, raisin and cinnamon cookie - things, which are an aspirational biscuit if ever I saw them, but they are just so fruity.

For choccy biscuits, we have either - 'Gold', 'Breakaway', 'Blue Ribband' or 'Penguin'.

Tuc. There is power in a biscuit.

Fig Rolls. The Jacobs factory was undoubtedly the place to be posted during the 1916 rising.

Just because I'm a left-handed vegetarian who drives a Volkswagen, there's no need to be like that

Don't forget your swastika tattoo!

Caramel wafers!

 

[pogofish]

Caramel Logs!

Chorley cakes Mmmmmm....

Digestives, shortbread, anything oaty (especially plain choc HobNobs) for me.


Can I humbly direct the non-initiates to:

.... where, perhaps, the focus is more intense than even Suburban can boast?


....... sorry, I know it's poor form to big up other boards but, honestly, has anyone ever seen a better news item title than

'Nuclear war could have led to weak tea'?

Peanut butter

ever so slightly soggy custard creams

Ancient memories:

Bandts mmmmm...
Penguins mmmmmm..
What were those with the really thick chocolate that you could bite off in lumps? Golf?

Club.

^ "if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club", you mean ;-)

I miss Trio's :-( - just had a flash back to the girl shouting

That was the final line and, admittedly, repeated throughout the ads. 'Lub a lub a luba lub - al ub lub' was a background chant with subliminal (to me, clearly) effects.

 

[feyr]

i'm not really a biscuit person although i am partial to a jam ring or party ring, i prefer a good turrón. nom nom nom

 

[isitme]

I hate biscuits

 

[Detroit City]

What class of biscuit person are you?

what class are Oreo's??

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

what class are Oreo's??

Or these?

 

[lillia]

Squashed-fly biscuits, hob-nobs, fox's creams... Lovely... Iced gems - do they count as a mini-biscuit?

The king of biscuits has to be the digestive - I live just down the road from the McVities factory, and when they're cooking the smell of baking digestives when you step outside the door is just gorgeous... sort of indescribable... just makes my day a little brighter

 

[d.a.s.h]

For choccy biscuits, we have either - 'Gold', 'Breakaway', 'Blue Ribband' or 'Penguin'.

Thank god they don't sell Breakaways in corner shops or I'd weigh about 20 stone.

"One is never enough" they have printed on the multipack wrapper - bastards! They know exactly what they're doing.

 

[electrogirl]

i don't like biscuits much.

apart from when it's cheese and biscuits. but that's cos cheese is involved.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

what class are Oreo's??

I'm sorry but Oreos are horrible and I have absolutely no idea why everyone is so obsessed with them. Mind you, I am a biscuit puritan and really only like a good old fashioned unadulterated digestive.

 

[Idaho]

Oreos are shit. Waxy, over sweet, no clear flavour other than sugar. Complete rubbish.

The idea that a biscuit can form the nexus of a class conciousness debate is pretty ridiculous, even by urban's own standards. Does a fig roll send it's children to private school? Does a hob-nob toil long hours for minimum wage?

That said - Rich Tea aren't a working class biscuit. They speak too much of self control and deferred graitification.

 

[secretsquirrel]

Fox's chocolate Viennese. I don't really *do* biscuits but I can't have these in the house because I would eat the whole packet in one go

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Viennese Swirls are very moreish

 

[DotCommunist]

Oreos are fucking lush. W/C with aspiriations I reckon. or as Posternumbers would say 'ass-pirations'

don't you love it when he does that

 

[d.a.s.h]

Who remembers chocolate digestives that were completely covered in chocolate, not just on one side? They came individually wrapped in red foil.

Also mourn the passing of plain chocolate Club biscuits.

 

[Wilf]

Club.

(jingle: 'lub-a-lub-a-lub- a-lub Club')

Ah yes! They came in plain and a couple of other flavours, including orange (which was an abomination ).
