Dear Spadetownboy,

I love a man who knows what he is talking about...

I think Mumra is on the right track. It depends on the context. After football, no dinner because of too many beers, and needing a rapid snack the gluten-free custard creams I found in the cupboard really hit the spot. I thought they would taste like cardboard. On reflection I think Mrs Mac stocks them for our coeliac friends so I'd best replenish...JM

I went for Fox's Golden Crunch Creams, Chocolate Hob-Nobs and Fox's version of Jammy Dodgers. A parents' evening selection, if you like.

Got a job offer. Sweet.

Jammy Dodgers, with their 'radioactive jam' are soooo wrong.

But I like them.

I have a weakness for the crunchier Crawfords Fig Roll. But what you really want is a really, really big biscuit - like these.

Although I love (plain) chocolate Leibnitz the really really great news recently was my discovery that Chcolate Olivers were now available again after several years' absence, if you know where to find them....>:D

It's a Ginger Nut for me (tu)...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Happy Faces or Chocolate Fingers for me

Cheers GG

Jaffa cakes every time!

[BarryRoad]

Looks like the Fox's Jam Creams (or whatever they're called) were a hit. Received this photo message from the office today:

"Fox's Jam Creams are ace!"

Is fox the name of the girl perchance? Oop, better stop there.

[Linb143]

totally agree about the hob nobs. As Peter Kay said, they are like the marines of the biscuit world and you can dunk them in your tea all long without them breaking off. Unlike Rich Teas, which he calls One Dips!

[snorky]

This is the most pointlesss thread ever.

[BarryRoad]

Yeah, it is now.

[Fear 'n boozin]

It is pointless I know, so apologies for bumping it, but.....

Barry, let me get this straight. You went for a chat, they asked you to bring biscuits, the chat became an interview and they offered you a job. They are now sending you photos of themselves eating the biscuits?! How do I get a job there? I know my biscuits!! [Not sure about jam and cream in a *Jammy* Doddger thought....]

do they qualify for this thread, are they cakes or biscuits in disguise?

Yes, that's exactly what happened. It's pretty sweet. If you know your biscuits, I can only recommend you touch base in the next month and plan for biscuit eating and tea drinking within the next three to secure a position there. From what I can tell, they're expanding.

p.s. My new boss told me he actually contacted the british biscuit appreciation society (or similar) to refine their list of biscuits for meetings, no joke. Go here The Alternative Contact Pageand click on the biccie booker. Please note I gained extra respect in my first message to them by pointing that in fact, a jaffa cake is not legally a biscuit. I just didn't want to start that argument earlier (thanks for bringing it up, SpadeTownBoy :-) )

I bought a pack of sainsbos rich tea fingers to have with my after work cup of tea. Should i have gone for regular rich teas?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Can we have an update on the Rich-Tea tasting CitizenED? I wont sleep otherwise.

I like an M&S Viennese me.

[citizenED]

Easy Michael P, have not got round to Rich Tea taste test quite because someone had gone out and bought some Chocolate Malted Milks. Update as soon as I get through them.

Hope you get some sleep.

probably a wise decision to go for the fingers rather than the regular ones,as depending on the size of your cup dunking the whole regular biscuit can sometimes be a problem requiring several goes,whereas the fingers are narrow enough to achieve whole dunking in one go. congratulations on your choice.
