    Tesco Finest Dark Chocolate Ginger Cookies. I even forgive Tesco calling them cookies. They are divine.

    A rich tea heavily buttered and dipped into a mug of strong tea, strong enough to trot a mouse on.
    Closely followed by a buttered digestive biscuit.

    Chocolate Hob-Nobs.
    Good with tea, great with milk!

    Jaffa cakes are not biscuits.

    I hate Jaffa cakes.id rather go hungry than eat them marmalade lumps.
    they should never have been made and the person who invented them should have been deported for crimes against humanity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭Badger2009


    Toffypops all the way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 824 ✭✭✭lapua20grain


    Has to be jammy dodgers or Mikado

    I love a good milk chocolate righ tea with my tea. Haven't seen any in ages though.
    Super Valu Oaties (cheap hobnobs) are good too; Tesco ones are v disappointing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Favorite crisps, favorite bars and now favorite biscuits. I feel like someone should do a few tournaments on these. Could be good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,019 ✭✭✭KilOit


    Choc chunk cookies in Aldi are very good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,378 ✭✭✭mojesius


    Mcvities chocolate caramel digestives.
    I could eat a pack in one go with a pot of tae.

    Non chocolate category winner would be jersey creams. Reminiscent of more simple times gone by.

    whatever gluten free chocolate chip biscuits LIDL have


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,192 ✭✭✭chrissb8


    Chocolate covered hobnobs with a mug of tea that would break your wrist.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 266 ✭✭markfinn


    A good bourbon cream with a nice cuppa is unbeatable.
    "Good" in this case excluding whatever plastic horror Lidl/Aldi have painted brown this week,

    Nothing beats a plain old digestive dunked in tea with plenty of milk and sugar.

    🙈🙉🙊

    Yes Montage. Sometimes simpler is better. And while I won't vote for digestive, mine is the simple bourbon cream.
    On it's own or dunked in coffee, perhaps only sex comes close


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 132 ✭✭lisabiscuit


    Milk chocolate covered butter biscuits. Nom

    Fox’s Viennese or Toffypops. Top quality for dipping in tea or coffee. Honourable mentions for mikado or Kimberly - not so great for dipping, chocolate caramel digestives, penguins, Cadbury snacks (yellow or purple).

    Plain biscuits such as rich tea or digestive are terrible. Biscoff completely overrated


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭nigeldaniel


    Fig Rolls. By Jacobs. There is another one I get from time to time in a local centra. Can't think of the name at the moment but they are premium macaroons type biscuits.

    Dan.

    Garibaldi

    But where?

    I loved Garibaldi, but I haven't seen them in the shops for years :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 634 ✭✭✭TheAsYLuMkeY


    I have to tell you all, these are the business, you would eat the entire pack in one sitting mind you easily, Like a biscuit, wafer, chocolate and nutella all in one,

    Does Faith's Caramel Squares count? I am always making them from that recipe for myself and others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,837 ✭✭✭Doctors room ghost


    I’d chance a bet that if you spilled out a packet of Jaffa cakes on the ground, the crows wouldn’t bother eating them.
    You might get one of them old street pigeons with the bad feet on them,having a sneaky old peck at the base of a few of them at that manky old brown sponge but that’s all.
    You’d be depending on ants to get rid of the rest.
    Spill out a rich tea or a digestive biscuit packet however and you’d have to run for cover with the stampede it would cause.

    These are what will eventually kill me. Forget all of those other drugs...I'll OD on these things one day trying to stuff too many of them down my throat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33 DaDoRonRonRon


    Fig Rolls....and I care not a fig how they got them in there


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    The dunnes stores simply better chocolate chip cookies are amazing if you can get them, they are sold out more often than not. Bourbon creams are also really good, cheaper own brand ones are best avoided though.

    I think I have located some Garibaldi biscuits (Tesco own brand), so will shoot down to Tesco later and see if they actually have them :)

    Haven't seen or eaten them for years.

    Yea - maybe someone could organise it. Probably be more interesting than that favourite flag tournament floating around at the moment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,581 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Does anyone remember Boasters? I don't think you can get them anymore, but I loved the things. a +1 for Toffeepops.

    Picture of Viscounts packet

    Reminds me of this.



    A very minty biscuit.

    Also brilliant in any cheesecake base. Yum

    This one seems to split the biscuit community, you either love them or you loathe them it seems. Personally, I like them and there are many flavours to choose from, including some creative recipes. I only wish we had all of the Oreo flavours available in the US.

    In saying that, a Golden Oreo is no match for the humble Custard Cream


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    There is a biscuit community?

    They're rotten. Yank biscuit that for some reason are everywhere now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,882 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    Best thing to do with Oreo's is to make Oreo truffles (Difficulty level 2/10).

    2 packets into a blender, and blend the sh1t out of them, then pour into mixing bowl.
    Add in a small (187g) pack of Original Philadelphia cream cheese and mix well.
    Roll into ping pong sized balls (you should get about 16-20), then put in fridge for about 30 minutes.
    melt some chocolate of your choice (cooking milk or white chocolate from Tesco works best).
    using cocktail sticks, stab the balls, and then dip them into the melted chocolate ensuring the chocolate covers all the ball.
    place back into the fridge for the chocolate to harden.
    eat them and get really fat.
