The Great Heartland Biscuit Thread™

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I have to admit that, whenever i buy an assortment, I will eat the dodgy ones first to save the best till last.
Wine gums a case in point. Orange & yellow first to go. Black & red will always be left to last. ;D

And Jaffa cakes aren't even biscuits. It is known.

I'm with Steve, except for never ever willingly eating a pink wafer.
I have about 200 jaffa cakes in my classroom cupboard, donated by parents.

The new Sisters biography informs in a footnote that :von: and Gary were fans of fruit shortcake, the greatest biscuit of them all. Now the next question is, of course, do they dunk?!!!

Fruit shortcake is just one step away from Garibaldi. This could be either a good thing or a bad thing.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

It's quite interesting, you know, the number of biscuits that are named after revolutionaries. You've got your Garibaldi, of course, you've got your Bourbons, then of course you've got your Peek Freens Trotsky Assortment. [sings] "Revolutionary biscuits of Italy / Rise up out of your box! / You have nothing to lose but your wafers / Yum yum yum yum yum!"

i refuse to read 30+ pages about biscuits just because i am feeling left out so ive ignored all thats gone before and have only this to say:
SHORTBREAD. ;D MMMMMMMMMMMMMM-yumm-yumminy-yumm!
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
