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:

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).

Whats a Buscuit...

I imagine it'd kinda look like this:

either that it is a spelling mistake.

Urge... To say airbiscuit... Rising...

Chocolate Hob Nobs are the invention of the Devil. Temptation incarnate.

Custard cream! The arch-nemisis of the Bourbon.

Chocolate Hob Nobs are the invention of the Devil. Temptation incarnate.
Screw resisting temptation.
All hail the Chocolate Hobnob of Glory!
*worships*

Though I do like the occasional Bourbon, too.

oreos. I love them. ALOT

Not a big fan of biscuits anymore. Ate them alot growing up though.

Oh hell nvm.. different kind of biscuit.. rofl. What you all are talking about is like a cookie? Then I'd say a Lemon Biscuit.

I want to try a mango buisuit. (http://www.rathergood.com/biscuits/)

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?

I'd think choc-chip cookies count. If they don't, ProMonkians' gonna die.

CUSTARD CREAMS!!!!

Hobnobs coming a close 2nd then Bourbons

Rich Tea Biscuits. To the extreme. :D

They are biscuits, quite good to cut in half and poor gravy over.....mmmm...gravy

Disco biscuits.

*looks around*

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?

*prepares for weird looks*

:confused: have you been taking something?

Most likely this is the result of the consumption of gravy loaded biscuits.

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.

Chocolate biscuits? Now that's disgusting.

Yes, I actually eat many biscuits like that; custard creams, Penguins, Twixes et cetera.

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

i like malted milk you gotta dig those cows

I'd suggest we form a society, but I fear it would only allow the enemy 'normal' biscuit eaters to attack us in one place. :(

Then it should be a secret society, with webs and lock-downs and the like!

do they look like biscuits? maybe they should have a category all to their own if they're savoury, but they're not biscuits. :p

They look like biscuits to me.

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

I think the problem here is that biscuit means something quite different in America than it does everywhere else.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuit

That's some nice... being american. :p

Tim Tams, any Aussies know what I'm talking about, the rest of you probably don't but they're the best biscuit ever :)

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.

No, no, Scotch fingers are good :D

Ah. I forgot the marvels of TUNNOCK'S CARAMEL WAFERS! :D :D :D

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/sleb/tunnockscaramelwafers.jpg

Not quite a conventional bisuit, but we've got people arguing the American definition, so I don't see what harm it can do. :P

No, no, Scotch fingers are good :D

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

It makes them a pain in the bloody arse! I'll tell you tomorrow. I want to make sure that you get the full force of my outrage at the situation. You see, I can't do that thing I do over the internet.

By that i mean not nearly as Insane! :p

Tim Tams are too Sweet for me now. :(

Since i started Working ive never really had time to brush my teeth in the morning and so they are no longer peraly White. :(

Chocolate Mint.

Beuatiful and Chocalate are two words i just struggle to spell. :confused:

By that i mean not nearly as Insane! :p

Oh, shut up. Go brush your teeth.

I nominate home made chocolate chip cookies... hm.... yummy... :p

my friend is a professional cook, he has a BIG recipe book over 300 types of biscuits how in the hell can i chosse one? :eek:

i nominate the good old fashioned british digestive, if it hasn't already been nominated, the plain variety or original as it is called, non of the chocolate crap or tofee, but the original. this is by far the best biscuit possible and therefore the rest of you putting forward biscuits except for hob nobs man and the bourbon voter can go away and stop wasting your time!!! DIGESTIVES ARE THE BEST always have been always will be!!!

Biscuit?

Oh, shut up. Go brush your teeth.

Yes, well, can't argue with that. EBH told me that Tink was back. Is that true or is he just getting my hopes up?
