What Buns/Biscuits Do You Keep For Visitors?

The Backwards Man

I hate having visitors, fancy cups have to come out, coffee table has to be polished, jeans have to be zipped up, but every now and then it has to be done. Most visitors that (seldom) visit me know that I never keep sweet things in the house (so they think:p), so they bring their own cakes/buns or whatever for the tea.

On the odd occasion I have to buy something for the visitors' tea, I find Kimberley Mikado to be a great choice. I don't care if the visitors eat them because I don't like them, and I don't care if the visitors don't like them because I don't like visitors.

What is in your press for the visitors' tea?

Jam sammiches.

If I know about the impending visit I bake scones or buns. Or an apple crumble if its my parents.
If its a surprise visit then they better be packing some sugar.

Usually a chocolate and blackcurrant creméux with pistachio jelly and a basil and lime macroon on the side.
Either that or some stale ginger nut.

Don't eat biscuits myself as I'd feel bad having a whole pack all for myself so I only indulge my biscuit cravings when someone is visiting. On these glorious days I either buy a selection of biscuits such as hobnobs, chocolate digestives etc. or if I really like the visitors or want to look refined I buy one of those large boxes of biscuits with the whole biscuit gang in them that normally only make an appearance at christmas such as USA or Foxes.

Care to share now?

A strawberry-syrup topped cake from the bakery.

Always eat it before the visitors arrive though.

Not that they ever do arrive.

*cries*

I generally have packets of different types of individually wrapped chocolate bars. I also have Rich Tea or digestives for those on a diet.

In the same cupboard as the biscuits there a packet of some sort of rye bread. The nearest thing to plasterboard I have ever come across.

The Backwards Man

All biscuits so far. Does anyone get the buns out for the visitors? I used to make my own queencakes when I was younger, must start again I think.

kowloon

The problem with making buns is the mix. I eat the mix. Then I have to lie down for a while to recover. 'Tis a rich bounty.

April O Neill

A mix of plain and faaaancy biscuits.

Kimberley and Mikado are different biscuits.

There are no such biscuits as "Kimberley mikado".

What is wrong with you people.

:mad:

Pumpkinseeds

I get doughnuts,muffins or eclairs in for the in laws on the rare occassions they intrude into our livesvisit us. Other than that the only time we have any biscuits in the house is at Christmas when you have to have the obligatory tin of chocolate biscuits in the cupboard. Still the empty tin comes in very handy for all those odds and end that you have lying around in drawers and then bin a year later.

You can keep all that in your press without munching through them between visitors ? Impressed. You must be a Man , or have an iorn will.

I feed the visitings with toffey-pops, Kimberly, Jamaican ginger cake with butter, or Mr Kiplings French Fancies ( if they're fancy guests) . If they're very special guests, I get out the cocktail sausages . But that's just for the Jesus guests - only every 3 years or so.

Ilyana 2.0

We don't keep biscuits in the house, seeing as we don't often have visitors.

...or maybe we have no visitors because we have no biscuits?

you have all of my favourite things, can I call over? Can I have the yello French fancies?

Jamaican ginger cake is sex in a loaf. Om nom nom.

Forget your butter though, few seconds in microwave and a scoop of ice cream

I'm inclined to cut up a lidl brand imitation mars bar and lay it out nicely on my best plate.

My mum usually bakes a Swiss roll with lashings of cream and raspberry jam - perfect for when you're watching the aul calories :-P

Same as the jam out of the middle of the mikados. Tough muscle needs a lot of exercise.
