They are mentioned in the text as a variety of hobnob. I think that's fair enough or else all the varieties of standard biscuits would need covering, preferably in dark chocolate.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted Thursday at 13:20 RMweb Gold Share Posted Thursday at 13:20 I would argue that Viennese Whirls are more cake than biscuit; a biscuity cake or a cakey biscuit. They are related in my feeble brain to scones, as in Cornish Cream Tea, and those are definitely cakes, aren't they. Hang on, I'll just have another one to make sure... 3 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying Warley is a cheapskate club...??!! 😱🤣 I have to agree with @steve1 - fig rolls are horrible things!! Many years ago I did like them, had them at my Nan's when I was about 5. From then on, that's the only "biscuit" she ever gave me when we visited - I ended up loathing the things!! I couldn't tell her, though... Still on biscuits, about 10 years ago my lad was amazed to see the biscuit display in the General Store at Beamish Museum, County Durham - most of today's biscuit types were available over a Century ago. I think my lad was under the impression most of them were invented just before he was born... 🙄🤣 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only adverts I've been subjected to recently just seem to repeat Tesco and Aldi ads... 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
