What is the Best Buscuit?

24-07-2005, 19:16
There is a worrying lack of serious biscuit discussion in todays modern media, almost as if they're trying to hide something. We I say no more! I have created this thread in honour to give buscuits the spotlight that they deserve, and who knows perhaps we'll emerge as better people after the debate.
So to buisness, what is the best biscuit?

I nominate the stately Bourbon Biscuit:
http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuits/media/bourbon.jpg
Damn near close to perfection in my book, not to sweet, but deliciously more-ish. A great ice-breaker at parties, if your looking for something to take but are not sure what to bring then rest assured that if you take bourbons everybody will be happy - from the lowiest of students, to the highest of kings. For sure didn't our lord himself pause on the cross for a Burbon Biscuit before giving himself to mankind.

That's my case, now present yours (I will be upset if nobody nominates Hob-Nobs).

OOOHHHH COOKIES!

i was gonna say "the ones your grandmother made on a cold winters morning and served smothered in saugage gravy" but that really wouldnt work on a nice shortbread cookie eh?

do they have to be factory made in order to be a bicuit? do chocolate chip cookies count?

Aw, come on, this in NationStates people! I'd be shocked if there was a thread without at least three drug references, a pun involving sex and something alluring to creationism in it.

Okay, okay. I'd like to nominate/vote for the ginger thin. In the beginning was the biscuit, then someone stuck some ginger in the mix and God was born.

While possibly not the best, I have to say I do enjoy a good Digestive. It is filling and has a nice, but not overpowering, taste. Also, you don't get chocolate all over yourself.

Incidentally, does anyone else here eat a Bourbon by pulling off one of the biscuity bits, eating it, scraping off all the chocolate filling in the middle with their teeth, and then eating the other bit?

It's like I found a brother. :p

I'm serious, I prefer pulling apart the biscuit and eating the bits separately - it's one of the many things that leads me to believe I'm secretly autistic.

that's the right way to do it! except i pull one of the biscuity parts off, eat it, then nibble around the chocolate then scrape the chocolate off with my teeth, then eat the rest of the biscuit, same with custard creams

They're too soft! Too soft! Cakes are soft and large, biscuits are hard and small; that's the distinction I make.

I'll tell you what the worst biscuit is. Scotch Fingers. I've eaten them every day for the past week. When I try to break them in half to dip in my morning coffee they always break into four pieces, too small to dip without burning my own fingers. I hate them.

Stop being difficult! (I don't really mean that. It's one of the many things I love about you). Sure they taste good, especially when they're soaked in coffee. But they always break. Why can't they package them as individual fingers? To irritate me I suppose. It's a conspiracy. Have I told you about the consipiracy to stop me listening to Phil Collins?

No, you haven't so I suggest you tell me right now, or you wait til tomorrow at school. And it's good the way they break, it makes them more individual, unique :D
