Biscuits

Rubecula

Biscuits were always a treat we had perhaps once a week (if we were lucky) when I was a little lad. I like most biscuits to this day. I say most biscuits as I still do not like these modern HobNob things whether they are covered in chocolate or not, and I can not understand the popularity of Malted Milk biscuits.

My favourite was Custard Creams closely followed by Lincolns. I still on rare occasions buy a packet of Custard Creams. But there is no sign of Lincolns anywhere

The kids who work in the shops and supermarkets don't even know what you are on about anymore when you ask for them and look at you as if you are mad. :mad:

I WANT MY LINCOLNS!!!!

I'm not big into biscuits but himself was always fond of Rich Tea, especially for their dunkability!!

Rubecula

I don't buy Rich Tea as they have to be dunked really they are pretty awful (IMO) if you don't dunk them, and when you do they fall to bits in your cup.

I hate biscuits in your tea, they become a slimey blob of nastiness. Dunking biccies in a cold drink is not quite the same.

looksee

The only really dunkable biscuits are ginger nuts, and you have to dunk them or break your teeth!

I'm gonna be the wet blanket with all the negatives on this thread - I hate Oreos!!! So there! What do our American cousins see in them?

OldGoat

When I was a little girl, my mam and I always had Lincoln creams and fanta for the night of the eurovision Its a tradition I kept going...its the small things that keep me happy

Rube! I can get Lincolns here. They dont taste as sweet but they still make them.

I love rich tea and butter and sometimes a proper choccie biccie.
I agree with Rube on the Hob Nobs...cant stand them.

I had forgotten all about lemon puffs. The way they stuck to the roof of your mouth and the taste. YUMMY. always needed a drink with them (Something cold and fizzy was good.)

When I come over, Chucken get them Lincolns in and I will eat you out of house, home and biscuit box The old favourites are still the best in my honest opinion. HobNobs and Oreo's should be used for building a good warm fire.

Love it! And you're right too.

One of my fave treats is a regular digestive dunked into coffee - has to be coffee, definitely not tea. Makes even cheapo ones taste good

Pink wafers!

Guilty sekret time.
I was shown this in Australia and I've been sneakily doing it ever since. Over there we used a biscuit called a TimTam which is basically a penguin bar (though slightly lighter).
You bite off diametrically opposite corners then, using it like a straw, dunk it and suck your tea through it.
You have to be quick and get it into your gob before it implodes.
Lovelyness ensues.

All right. There is ONE biscuit, if you would call it that, that I actually like. Club Milk. But I daren't eat one, 'cos I used to be a Club Milk addict but I kicked the habit. I've been clean for twenty years now!

Rubecula

My mum used o work in the factory that made Club biscuits, and she often came home with huge boxes of 'seconds' Lovely times, fattening but lovely.

Chucken

I'm just having ginger nuts and a cuppa. Dunk the biccie, suck the tea out of it...lovely gingery gingerness...mmmmmm!

They changed the chocolate around ten years ago and it is now manky. Wouldn't touch one with a barge poll. Before I would have preferred a club milk to a snack bar but now it's a cadburys snack bar all the way.

Jellybaby1

Well spotted Swampy (great name!) They did indeed change the chocolate, also they made it smaller, and with a lot less chocolate. Just as well I kicked the habit when I did, my life would have been utterly miserable if I'd continued on that slippery slope! :eek:

Jellybaby1

Hob nobs are only for posh folks!

BBDBB

From your saucer? My gran used drink tea from her saucer, drove my dad mad!

Rubecula

My mum used to do eggs in a saucer (in the oven) with a little grated cheese on top for my sister when she wouldn't eat. She woofed it down too so Mum did right.

Mums always know best!
