Biscuit blasphemy!?

Turtwig

Fresh on the heels of the jaffa cake controversy comes the latest series of shocking revelations.

Biscuits in fact have the chocolate on the bottom of the biscuit, not the top, McVitie's have confirmed,

No, no, NO. This is flying in the face of natural order. Why, that would mean I should have been dunking biscuits with the chocolate facing TOWARDS me. I feel utterly betrayed and shall not bow to the abomination that would be touching the chocolate with my lower teeth whilst biting. NO. :mad:

Mr. CooL ICE

Makes sense. After all, the logo would be covered otherwise. It says so in the scriptures.

On another note, how do people feel about eating rich tea with a coffee? It seems like sacrilege, but I'm not too sure myself.

Pervert.

Once again, Rich Tea are the protestants of the biscuit world. Bland, boring, no taste whatsoever.

McVitie is trying to redefine a traditional belief system. Sure next thing we know biscuits will be marrying teh gheys.

lazygal

Ps. What about jaffa cakes? Not actually biscuits?

Turtwig

We need a vague and subjective instruction in the charter on this matter asap. Is this biscuit orientation compatible with the forums doctrine?

You guys really need to move of from the big mainstream brands, there's more to biscuits than McVities and Rich tea. Rather enjoying some home made cheese biscuits at the moment. Hmmm, spicy

Are we to understand that up to know you have dunked the biscuit with the chocolate facing away??? :eek:

I have vague recollections of rich tea with butter on being quite nice.

I love a plain bikkie so Rich Tea ftw. Marie, Morning Coffee or anything similar works also.

The One Who Knocks

Yay that's the way I've always eaten them!

It makes sense if you think about it, .. you want to taste the chocolate with your tastebuds, not get it stuck to the roof of your mouth!

But the packaging shows the choclate on the top... why would the packaging lie

I assume that is automatic censorship software removing the (clearly acceptable in this context) word ****** because it is the same word as the (unacceptable in other contexts) word ******?

I was wondering what word was in store for me too The stakes and fire, obviously.....but the word? Context is everything, and the context in which my bickie becomes suitably soggy in my cuppa is EVERYTHING to me. I am disappoint.

Peregrinus

It's a word which means a bundle of sticks tied together, usually for the purpose of using them as fuel for a fire. It starts with F and ends with T and there's an A and an O and a couple of Gs in there somewhere.

I believe it may have a second, derogatory sense but, given the unsullied purity of my mind, I have no idea what that is. Only the filthy-minded blaggards that run boards.ie would assume the word has to be derogatory, and it's their own prurience that causes them to censor it. Minds like sewers, the lot of them!

Ah yeah. I have it now, ta

When you place a choccie biccie on a plate do you place it choc surface down or biscuit surface down?
Exactly......

Apparently the Pope eats chocolate kimberleys, so there's chocolate all around and the doctrinal matter doesn't emerge.

Personally I am stuck with gluten free biscuits and I'm diabetic too so no chocolate either.
Therefore I find myself an atheist in this matter as well, I know some people consider chocolate orientation on their biscuits a matter of life/death heaven/hell but it simply isn't an issue for me.
So Jebus=Club Goldgrain, in my case at least.

Re: the biscuit doctrinal crisis.
Didn't Swift cover this matter with the tales of Gullivers adventures in Lilliput, with the unpleasantness between Lilliput and Blefuscu being all about which side of the hardboiled egg should be opened or dining?

No mention of the dark vs. milk debate, is it now considered racist?

Sectarian, I think.

Jaffas are Jewish and not real biscuits at all. Eating them makes Marietta cry.

I had some sugar free chocolate chip cookies from Tesco the other day which were surprisingly nice.
As for the chocolate being on the bottom, this was always how I ate chocolate biscuits anyway and people called me weird, glad to see McVitie's come to my aid on this matter.

remember when they tried to censor the air we breathe? Or the oxygen anyway, that was a fun year in the science and Juniour Cert forums...

Anyway, I have tried eating chocolate biscuits the proper way, but find the taste more intense eating the conventional way, turns out we have taste buds on the roof of our mouth, who knew?

Wikipedia wrote:

As the roof of the mouth was once considered the seat of the sense of taste, palate can also refer to this sense itself, as in the phrase "a discriminating palate". By further extension, the flavor of a food (particularly beer or wine) may be called its palate, as when a wine is said to have an oaky palate.

Can any biscuit be turned into God or just wafer biscuits?
I imagine if priests did their magic with chocolate-covered Kimberleys they would hold on to the teenagers for a little longer.

Genghiz Cohen

I'd be concerned about leaving my kids with a pack of any McVities after these startling revelations.
I do hope they cooperate with the Tribunals that are to be set up.

Those pink wafers you get in as USA tin are heavenly though.

But this means that the fluffy part of the Mikado is also the bottom. I just don't know what to say any more.
