You see, I've said Bourbons because I think they may be objectively a king among biscuits, but there will always be a place in this world for the humble digestive. Ditto Fox's Crunch, and cookies.... and most of them actually. There's one for every occasion!

Ooh, Choco Leibniz are a bit special too. Actually, one of my favourites is suprisingly from Asda, digestives with chocolate chips. The satisfying texture and non-crumble factor of the digestive, with the chocolate fix of the cookie, genius!

Aye - Sainsbury's have a similar type of choc-chip digestive too which is excellent. Trouble is with cheaper biscuits, they do unpleasant things to my insides...

Oooo.. I'm a fan of biscuits in a big way. There's not a photo without a biscuit in my hand when I was a baby :x Oh, and tea with honey in it!

Bourbons are my all time favourite. But I do love to munch on a digestive mm. There's nothing like that flavour.

I like Digestives because I can eat them in one bite :O)

:O you must have a big mouth hehe

I don't think I've ever had a fig roll. They never look very nice.
I hate custard creams.

There's a technique to pul half in then break it with the tongue so the rest can be folded in! Practised over many years :O)

Digestives

Have any of you noticed a change in the Digestive biscuit recently? I've noticed it doesn't crumble like it used to and now resembles a rich tea?

I just tried one and it appears that the design has changed a bit, but the flavour and texture seem to be the same!

No Oreos?

Tut tut. Mind you, I put garibaldi as my 'other' suggestion.

Hmmm. Oreos or garibaldi. Oreos or garibaldi. Daddy or chips...

I'm not sure I know Oreos. I've seen Garibaldi, but can't remember if I've et them or not...

Oreos are great. American, but some of the little shops along south clerk st. sell them.

Garibaldi - hard to explain, kind of flat pastry and raisins... ("Fly biscuits") :0)

Ah yes now I remember! They aren't too bad.

Oooh gosh yes, Oreos are awesome. Not a dunking biscuit though. They sold them in Farmfoods last time I was there! (Yeah, classy, I know!)

Maybe not specifically a dunking biscuit, but TGI fridays sell a cocktail with fresh cream and floating oreos. Forget what it's called now...

:Z Eeerrrrgh!! That sounds so wrong. Have you had one?! If I named it it would be definitely called the Cosmovomitan, je pense.

From their menu:

Barnamint Baileys
A creamy cocktail made with Baileys Irish Cream and creme de menthe blended with vanilla ice cream and Oreo cookie sprinkles.

(It does also usually have a whole oreo in it too)

There's also a desert called 'oreo madness' that's two giant oreos with ice cream and chocolate sauce :)

Farmfoods? Haven't shopped there since being a fresher *shudders*.

Now they sell something decent and I don't know if we have Farmfoods in Cumbria!!

Plain chocolate Rich Tea biscuits are the best but I can't find them anymore. *sniff sniff*

Well for what purpose silly.

You know somebody actually managed to justify a study to find the most dunkable buscuit. I mean sure, research costs are gonna be like £5.49 and major funding proposals were likely unnecessary but still :)

Eating of course!

Great publicity for their department, and a great excuse to do sod all all day!
