katyjay 5,090 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I get up very early every morning, way before breakfast time, and what I wouldn't give for a British biccy with my cup of coffee. Just a plain old biscuit, no frills, no chocolate chips, not overly sweet, just a plain biscuit. Malted Milk, Digestive, Nice, etc. Something just to tide me over for a few hours. No such thing here, the biscuit (not cookie. Disappointed to see them called such over there now) aisle is huge here, but nothing worth buying. What's your favourite? Do you dunk? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Coconut rings and nice biscuits both of which are dunkable (if that is a word). Also digestive biscuits (McVities of course) with dairylea spread on them and shortbread - non dunkable. Better stop there and give someone else a chance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I like fig rolls, Garibaldis, Jaffa cakes,  chocolate chip, Hobnobs and proper shortbread, in fact anything apart fron Nice.  I have NEVER dunked a biscuit in my whole life!  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,454 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 There are very few types of biscuit I don't like. Â The only consideration is that as I've got older I increasingly find I can't eat very sweet things;Â so the sweeter they are, the less I'll eat them. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Butter Crunch, Malted Milk and half covered chocolate digestives. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,303 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 My all time favourites were the caramel coated shortbread biscuits sold loose in Woolworth's when I was a child. Bourbon biscuits, chocolate digestives and custard creams are also nice but I purposely don't keep biscuits in the house because I'd scoff them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
West Bridgfordian 144 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Started making my own biscuits when I retired. Have tried versions of all my favourites, mostly anything with chocolate in or on them. Family and friends all come round more often now! Â 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Biscuits are very popular in France and there are lots of types available. I don't eat many biscuits (never have done) but the ones here seem quite similar to English ones but possibly sweeter. A type I've not seen are Nice biscuits which, considering the proximity of that city to me is rather strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Never dunked a biscuit Margie? Shame on you. You've not lived. KatyJ, is not possible to get some biccies posted out to you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Shortbreads ! Dunkilicious in the extreme ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 But WHY do you dunk biscuits?   Any crispy or crunchy ones should stay that way as I bite them and they should then get softer as I chew them...  Soggy biscuits - yuk - no thank you!

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 A quick dunk, and straight in ! Â I never give them chance to get soggy ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,303 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I had a disgusting, but fun, habit as a child of placing a digestive biscuit flat in the rim of my coffee cup and drinking my coffee through the gap left by the biscuit. Eventually, of course, the coffee soaked into the biscuit and it collapsed in a soggy mess at the bottom of the cup. I then ate it with a spoon. This exercise usually merited a telling off from my mother! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 You're lucky it didn't all end up in your lap Jill. There's currently a product called Toffee Waffles which you place over your cup, and the heat melts it, and then you eat it. I've seen them in Tesco's and Lidls. Yumminess ecstasy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BK. most likely have a parcel of crumbs if they were mailed out to me! I reckon any label marked Fragile, is an invitation to play footy with it! A bit like standing at the carousel in the airport and seeing folks cases, boxes etc with Fragile on and knowing darn well they tossed it on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
