What Buns/Biscuits Do You Keep For Visitors?

The Backwards Man · 26-06-2013 08:35PM #1

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?

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*

Hownowcow · 26-06-2013 09:00PM

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 · 26-06-2013 09:01PM

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 · 26-06-2013 09:17PM

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 · 26-06-2013 09:20PM

A mix of plain and faaaancy biscuits.
