RMweb Premium Dave Hunt Posted June 5, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 5, 2023 Of shop bought biscuits, either the chocolate Hobnob or the dark chocolate digestive. Best of the lot, though, my own coconut oatmeal with 70% chocolate on one side. Dave 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd vote for the Tunnocks plain chocolate teacake (blue wrapper), only available from Waitrose as far as I know, but well worth the trip. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before anyone kicks off they are biscuits, not ch0colate bars... I would be interested to read the authoritive definition that supports that contention! I can get away with two, or occasionally three genuine biscuits without incurring the displeasure if SWMBO, but I'd not dare try that with Tunnocks' products! CJI.

Long live the Hobnob (or sugar reduced Oatie). Now actually used as an interview question along with what type of animal do you like and why! I've actually had it! I think they throw them in to see if you can think on your feet. Never say "That's a stupid question" though. As to the answer, Hobnobs or plain chocolate digestives. No to anything with wafer in it. Especially those pink things. Always seem stale to me. Don't mind KitKats though. Jason 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 The best biscuit remains for me the Nabisco Magic Roundabout biscuits with added bonus of a Magic Roundabout character. I absolutely loved those biscuits, though I am not sure how many people will remember them seeing as they date from 1969! Nothing has ever come close to the malty goodness.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
