    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.

    Throw in a few currans, that's what granny taught me.

    Kimberley and Mikado are different biscuits.

    There are no such biscuits as "Kimberley mikado".

    What is wrong with you people.

    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.

    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.


    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.

    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 ;)

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

    I like the small wraped bars myself, like club milks and then a couple of slices of maderia cake on the side.

    what are visitors?? o0 ..and why would you need to feed them sweet things? >_> ..

    ___
    On the odd time, I have someone round I actually want to spend time around, I cook lunch or dinner.
    But no, never biscuits or cakes. We rarely have any in the house..and I ain't buying some because social etiquette says I should :P

    When someone I like is coming to visit and I know about it I would make coconut buns, carrot cake or chocolate muffins. My latest favourite is chocolate biscuit 'cake', if I don't know they are planning on coming they get whatever biccies the kids haven't scoffed - probably digestives

    You can't be like that. Everybody gets tea/coffee and cake/biscuits in my house, it's the Irish way.

    An Irish house without sweet buns is like a pub with no beer.
