Top 5 biscuits

I couldn't be more opposite, but it's great that we are such a broad church!

I remember that advert! Around the same time as the Gold Bar 'Workin' in a gold mine' ad I think. And the 'Rocky Robin' ad. Obviously advertisers had a penchant for repurposing old 60s/70s songs around then. 

There used to be a 54321 biscuit, they used to advertise on tv using the 1960s tune "5-4-3-2-1" by Manfred Mann:

I don't know if the biscuits are still made.

I notice that "Club" biscuits are on there. When I was a kid, I was a bit of a practical joker, I sometimes used to unwrap a Club biscuit, eat it. Carefully put the foil back in the sleeve and put it back on the plate - practical joke sometimes worked.

Home made shortbread, just out of the oven - delicious!

I would respectfully suggest that the best chocolate biscuits are not actually biscuits, but a lump of chocolate that a slip of biscuit got caught in.  If you can taste the biscuit, its a failure as a chocolate biscuit...

Me too, open the tin, eat one..... look down ten minutes later and wonder what to do with the empty tin!  Think they coat them with the same stuff they put on pringles!

Never too late

For the biscuit debate

1) chocolate digestives 

2) party rings

3) Jammy dodgers

4) Bourbons

5) gingerbread men

i know I’m quite late!

I was scrolling through looking for Toffee Pops as they just cane back into my head. Excellent choice. Sadly no gluten free version ever materiised but maybe worth falling off the wagon for some Friday night.

2 Foxes Chocolate rings covered in chocolate, yummy

3 The German ones with the chocolate on top, overlapping the buscuit, not sure what they called

4 Maryland cookies

5 Scottish shortbread

Tunnocks

Chocolate Hob Nobs

Ginger Nuts (very good if you have an upset tummy, not as in sad/tearful upset)

Hello

God, I love biscuits…

1) Chocolate bourbons

2) Shortbread

3) Rich tea finger biscuits

4) Jaffa Cakes

5) Cookies, preferably double chocolate

It doesn’t matter what dietary changes I make.. if I have a biscuit, the whole pack goes too. I can’t and won’t regulate, it’s always acceptable to me to binge on them if I allow myself to have one :) 

This thread is making me want to go buy shortbread! They’ve been added to the shopping list!

I think:

1. Shortbread
2. Biscoff Biscuits
3. Gingernut
4. Chocolate Digestives
5. Fruit Shortcake (which my family always called, ‘Dead Fly Biscuits’)

Here's mine.

1. Chocolate digestives.
2. Shortbread.
3. Custard creams.
4. Malted milk biscuits.
5. Maryland cookies.

You are right - I've just Googled the case online. One of the critical aspects of the argument was related to what happens when biscuits or cakes go stale. The court found, as anyone who has forgotten to put the lid on their biscuit tin properly will know, that when biscuits go stale they go softer. But when cakes go stale they go harder. The test was done, and when Jaffa cakes are left exposed to the air they get harder. So Jaffa cakes are definitely cakes and not biscuits. Apparently, they baked a huge Jaffa Cake which was submitted in evidence.
