biscuits

[vinteuil]

... don't think we've had a thread on biscuits.

I used to be a devotee of your garibaldi and your ginger nut.

While pondering your fave biccie, you might like to contemplate what goes in to the icing of a serious biscuit -

Crumbs!

Choccie one sides.

Yum.

can't beat a ginger nut for dunking, which is what I assume Vinnie was referring to.

I don't often buy biscuits, but when I do, yes, Gar-i-bal-di (let's ignore their schoolboy name) and fig rolls for me.

Grasmere Gingerbread.


Does that count? Or is that cake? Nothing compares with it.

If it goes hard when it's stale, it's a cake - if it goes soggy when stale, it's a biscuit.

(A definition I heard made on a recent edition of The Food Programme.)

I'm famous among my friends for my life-long adoration for Garibaldi and Fig Rolls. But I will eat a whole packet of either or both together in 10 minutes, so I must limit myself how often I buy them.

It tastes too good ever to be able to test it in that way.

This is my relationship with all things biscuity - I cannot have them in the house!

Same here with food and drink.

Was it a dream or is it real?

Garibaldi biscuits covered in plain chocolate on one side. When ever I mention this, no-one knows what I'm on about.

I tried to get some a couple of years ago and it was impossible. Maybe it was all just a figment or figroll of my imagination.

All discontinued , though I don't remember them.

Easy enough to knock up in your kitcheh, I should think, and with your own choice of chocolate to boot.

Even though I don't have the will-power to do the experiment, the website for Grasmere Gingerbread says;

"A unique, spicy-sweet cross between a biscuit and cake. . ."

See, this is what always happens

Great idea, hadn't occurred to me
