Oh yes. They are my fave biccies ever.
I don't care if they are for babies. They are NOM!

[Charlie]

Ok what about worst biscuits - my mum has been known to eat Shapes dog biscuits when the cupboards are bare
Not the black ones mind, even their dog wouldn't eat the black ones

[emilystrange]

no biscuits worth their salt are for grownups!
hmm. might have to get some tomorrow.

Fig Rolls are the devils food

Just had 4 boxes of Farley's rusks (original) delivered by a friend visiting from England.
*happy dance*

I remember munching a couple of Liga with a cup of coffee more than once

:O What heresy is this?!

[UnnaturalDisaster]

But did you have them dipped in the Branston?

Haha.
I was a bit too scared to do that.

Those pink wafer things. In fact all wafers. Pretend biscuits, that's what they are.

Defo not a fan of the fig roll, my Nan always had them when we were little, probably 'cos she knew that me and our kid wouldn't scoff them.

Agreed on the wafers - and they also come with extreme danger of choking if you breathe in at the wrong moment.

Plus they are useless for dunking. You only need to get them in the steam coming off a cuppa & they are mush in an instant.

[emilystrange]

wafers are horrible. like eating flimsy cardboard.

I am fond of pink wafers... Mainly because, as a fourteen year old, I used them to spell out "FUCK YOU" on the tea table at a church fête. (My grandmother stopped making me help at such events after that.)

Fourteen-year old me was a pain in the proverbial. Thirty-eight year old me is... well, much the same.

(Served them right for serving such mediocre refreshments though.)

As it happens, I did. Otherwise you'd end up with melted chocolate all over your thumb.
I must have missed that episode of "How It's Made" on Discovery Science.
