Best Biscuit

What's your favourite biscuit, or cookie? For a long time I thought mine was probably just a plain chocolate digestive, but lately I've been rekindling my childhood love of Party Rings. I'm also partial to a fig roll.

If you were stranded on a desert island, perhaps with a bunch of strangers and a computer that needs resetting every 108 minutes, which biccies would you nibble in between?

I'd go for Crunch Creams i

I'd go for Crunch Creams i think - you get buscuit and unknown creamy stuff too - bonus!

Don't like party rings, they taste stale same as Jaffa Cakes.

I'd have to take a biscuit tin with me - i hate soft biscuits

You'd definitely need some

You'd definitely need some form of sealable container... I do love a Jaffa Cake tho, the only question is whether they really count as a biscuit. I say they do, because they're round and flat, but they've gone and confused everyone by putting the word "cake" on the packet, so who knows... apparently there's some rule that says a sponge base can't be a biscuit, but that doesn't really make much sense. Why is sponge not allowed, but wafer (as in the infamous pink wafer) considered 100% kosher?

Wagon Wheels

I love Wagon Wheels, but if they don't really count then I guess it would be custard creams. Yum

Ah, bourbons.. is it

Ah, bourbons.. is it possible they were invented before real chocolate existed? They're like some kind of throwback to a time when the idea of chocolate could only be mimicked crudely in biscuit form..

I CAN'T HAVE BISCUITS!!

You cruel bastard! Why couldn't you have asked about crisps?

IF I could eat them I'd have to say Lincoln.

Haven't we done this before? I remember us explaining to someone what a Wagon Wheel was.

Biscuits are better than

Biscuits are better than crisps? Especially iced gems, which come in crisp packets but are actually biscuits. Or those mini-cookies, they're good too.

You can't have too much biscuit-based chat.

Jaffa Cakes Are Cakes

Legally at least.

As for biccies, I'd have to pick home-made half-baked cookies. Who can wait until they're cooked all the way through?

If it has to be a commercial one, ginger crunches rule.

Criminal Skills

It's amazing what evil purposes you can put a Jaffa Cake to if you know what you're doing... I just hope they're looking out for them at Heathrow Shocked
