Futtocks Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 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. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindle xiii Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For dunking, the petrol station across the road from me sells 'Good Day' cashew biscuits. They're pretty good.
