Is that rhyming with mice or fleece?

I call them Nice/rhyming with fleece because that's what my mother always called them. Or tile biscuits

Obviously it rhymes with fleece, but that doesn't address the fact that they're one of the mankiest biscuits ever made.

Like Nice the city. The answers to the poll are questions and the results are hidden. Good job, OP. :pac:

'Other suggestions included "Nietzsche", "neesa" and "gay biscuit"'

No! They are great for dunking, but you need to be a ninja-level dunker to get the maximum level of absorbtion before the biscuit disintegrates.

I bet that you are just saying that they are manky because you are a crap dunker. :P

There's no words, only sorrow

Best of the plain biscuits by a mile, although not the cheapskate ones that come without sugar on top. An auntie brought us a pack of chocolate Nice biscuits before from London, around 15 years ago, we still talk about them

Dunking is wrong. Why anyone wants soggy biscuits is beyond me.

pretty bad alright. I hate the granulated sugar on them, also hate it on donuts, dunno why they always seem to put lovely powdered/icing sugar on those long cream donuts with the strawberry sauce stripe, but most others use granulated.

I only ever heard people call them nice, as in mice, as a piss take, or making smart comments like "they should be done for false advertising"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_biscuit

There is some debate about the pronunciation and whether it is /ˈnaɪs/ (as in pleasant or pleasing) or /ˈniːs/ (as in the city of Nice in southern France).[3][4] The Australian biscuit maker Arnott's claims that the biscuit is named after the French city[5] (known as Nizza prior to 1860, when it was ceded to France, and Niça [classical norm] or Nissa [nonstandard] in the native Niçard Occitan). The biscuits were originally called faite à Nice (the French for "Made In Nice") but this was harder to print onto the biscuit so the "faite à" was dropped and the "Nice" part remained. Dutch biscuit maker Verkade claims its Nizza version (introduced in 1910) as the Netherlands' "most beloved cookie", and is celebrating the company's 125th anniversary with the release of a new cinnamon variant.[
