Futtocks 16,652 Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I haven't had one of those in ages.

Futtocks 16,652 Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 We got a tin of these at work as part of a Christmas hamper from a company we'd just started working with. Holy Moly, they're good! Mind you, I then looked up the price and had mild-to-medium conniptions. "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Same here, I'll happily raid the pantry for a biscuit fix, but I know my place and leave executive household decisions like the shopping list to Mrs V. I was given a pack last week and had forgotten about them, they will now be going on my "beer and bbq" list Wibble Link to post Share on other sites

hindle xiii 1,051 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 If you tune in to Sunday Brunch at 11am they have a regular feature called King of the Tin. This is where the 3 celebrity guests pick their most favourite and least favourite biscuits. There are short videos of these on YouTube. It is oddly compelling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Futtocks 16,652 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I'm very fond of these, which I get from the Co-op, but are also sold in other shops. 1 "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Biscuits fall into two categories, those you can dunk and those you munch between slurps. I think these would fall into the non-dunk type, a hot mug of tea might disrupt the chocolate coating before the inner biscuit could take a soaking Wibble Link to post Share on other sites

For dunking, the petrol station across the road from me sells 'Good Day' cashew biscuits. They're pretty good. 1 "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Johnoco 8,320 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Some of the cheapo versions in Lidl and Aldi are very nice. Not all of them by any means but a few of them are top notch. Link to post Share on other sites
