Middle class biscuits

In work we get these big boxes of assorted broken biscuits from the warehouse over the road.

I guess that makes us 'underclass' . . . :D
 
Boxes of broken biscuits were the cause of my mild aversion to custard creams.

Broken custard creams and custard cream crumbs :(
 
This sounds like it should have some kind of story behind it . . .

Woolies (iirc) used to sell boxes of broken biscuits when really they were boxes of broken custard creams with an odd piece of jammy dodger hidden cunningly like the plastic toy at the bottom of rice crispies :mad:
 
My place is a biscuit-free zone. No cakes cross the threshold either. If I want something sweet I will have jam on tasty wholemeal bread. If I want something crunchy and sweet I will have jam on toast. I am not a cheapskate - the jam is really St. Dalfour fruit preserve, expensive, but very tasty. and has no sugar. This combination is better than any biscuit or even cake.

As for fig rolls they are definitely working class, we used to have them when I was a child. I was not to impressed with them.
 
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.

oh yea, the "good old fashioned unadulterated digestive" that tastes like cardboard :p
 
For gods sake people#, get a grip-

Middle class biscuits:
"Would you care for a Bath Oliver with your Earl Grey?"

:)
 
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.

I had one from M&S the other day. Plain ones came in gold foil

I used to be slightly partial to Granny Ann high fibre :-
