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 suspect my work collegues are playing a despicable joke...fig rolls... what the very f***

I do not pay into a biscuit fund for travesties such as FR & yesterday's CC!

Oh my, that takes me back to the days when I used to nab one of these from the baby supplies to gnaw with a cuppa rather than head out to the shop for biccies of an evening. Although, I admit a preference for Liga, I want my Liga!

I don't care what they say, the chocolate is the top :lol:

A shopping trip to top up the biccy tin in Pudsey has unearthed McVities Chocfilled Thins which could save us all from sticky tops and bottoms or even poor technique.

As you were people. :lol:

You can't go wrong with a packet of Ginger Nuts and a brew.

Have always wondered has anyone actually ever eaten Shortbread willingly and not at Christmas? Generations of little kids traumatised by being forced to eat this bland biscuit/cake mix... :urff: :wink:

Blasphemy! Shortbread- 3 ingredients: the perfect ratio of butter to sugar and flour to make it all stick together. It holds up well when dunked in a cuppa. And is even available shaped like scottie dogs!

If fact, shortbread represents the high-point of biscuit technology.

No, it's permissible, so long as you don't actually drop the shortbread in the cup of tea. And of course the no tea bags can be left in said mug once the milk is added.
