sunnyday Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Digestives - can't buy them - would just keep going until they were gone :blink: :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Probably digestives for me too - chocolate or otherwise! Reminds me of a game my brother introduced us to - 'Guess my biscuit'. Anyone want to play? I was just contemplating making some ginger biscuits as it's a greyish kind of day here and it would be an excuse to not do planning!

Inge Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 No favourite... but dont eat too many really so depends on the mood when I do... but if I really had to decide it would have to be jam creams... not jammie dodgers but the other ones with a cream and jam in the middle.. but then I do like custard creams, or nice creams, or malted milk creams... see a link through here... not any chocolate ones though.. not keen on chocolate, you can keep those.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 My dad arrived to help paint fence just as they came out the oven! So of course we had to have a tea break first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFlo Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Fig rolls, chocolate bourbons, choc digestives and custard creams. We do not have these because I will eat them - all of them! Husband buys hobnobs as he knows I wont touch them xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Oh yes, I remember fig rolls! But they had to be the ones with the chopped ends, not the ones where the pastry met top and bottom on the ends. I wish they made them gluten free Edited August 15, 2012 by Cait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ahem - I am halfway there - hope you haven't eaten them all Don't worry, there's a cooling rack full of them. We decided they were practically good for you biscuits - have oats and fruit in them (as long as you don't think too closely about the sugar!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) I only ever buy Garibaldis, (dead fly biscuits we used to call them) and Jaffa cakes, can't bear either of those ! Can't have a cupboard of biscuits far toooooo deadly. Very partial to a Scottish shortbread though Edited August 15, 2012 by Panders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 When I was little there were always assorted children always came to our house after school and we were allowed to have a packet of biscuits to share (only ever amounted to at most 2 each!). My mum took to buying Lincoln biscuits which we all loathed so no one ever opened the packet. Eventually we asked why she bought them - her answer "because you lot don't like them so won't eat them." We never could understand why she didn't just not buy any at all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 strange logic, but made me smile - my mum did things like that too. I can hear her saying "No I'm not baking this weekend 'cos you'll only eat them" errr? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This has made me so hungry today and I'm trying to be so good and ignore the chocolate digestives which seem to be the biscuit of choice here at the moment! However, I find it hard to resist coffee walnut cake so good job there's none of that in the house and I'm too lazy to cook! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I used to love 'toffepops' don't see them much now though!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 my mum makes the most fab cinnamon biscuits which are jammed together and iced on top finished with a cherry yummmmm!.....never used to last long in the tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Definitely custard creams. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I confess, I bought some digestives today but it was only cos I decided I needed to make a cheesecake. Will tragically have to eat the rest of the packet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I LOVE biscuits - I think I got hooked when I was very small, my auntie would buy cheap a tin of broken biscuits, I loved picking through the different flavours. Also, my mum used to make the most wonderful shortbread, there were always shortbread hearts for Valentines' day. I have to say M&S shortbread biscuits, half dipped in chocolate are lovely too.
