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.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

But.. But.. But.. It's like dunking Mikado. Or Fig Rolls. Or Garibaldi.

Yes. FUCT is very clear on this point. As the act of baptism in some of the less well-established belief systems is symbolic of washing away the sins of the bapitisee, dunking a biscuit serves the same purpose - it washes away the calories. This is why you sometimes find a sort of sludge at the bottom of the mug - these are the calories, the biscuit's sins. Simply rinse out the mug and wash those naughty calories down the drain.

I absolutely agree.
If you're teaching, every break and lunchtime is calorie free. Especially Fridays.

Ok, folks - I think we can close this thread now and turn off the internet. If the NYTimes has twigged to the idea of using kettles then I think it's fair to say that our work here is done.

Jeepers. Modern technology. We should start a kettle thread. Or a teapot threat. Or a tea thread. Tea bag users are almost as bad as dunkers! ;-)

Ah not if I can help it. Much prefer tea leaves. Though it's impossible to get a decent cuppa in Derry where the assumption is that it isn't tea unless it's a tea bag drowned in milk and sugar...

Real tea! The ceremony. Scalding the pot, adding the water and tea- stew to your hearts content! And best of all, getting your tea leaves read and the end of it all, if you were lucky Down! I'm your basic, no notions, Lyons Tea. Is there a Northern preferred brand or is this as contentious as where your toaster lives in your kitchen!

Tea is one of the few things that isn't contentious. Well, apart from those of us that want loose leaf Lapsang of a cafe visit...

I had never come across them until I went to Japan, where they're a Thing. Brought a case of them back with me, they're brilliant. True, not as eco-friendly as a tea-ball or similar, but groovy if you're making "tea" with things other than tea (mint, let's say, or hibiscus).

But...but...couldn't they just use a tea strainer or a teapot? As well as a non dunking extremist I'm also a bit of a tea facist! ;-)

I had to search tea-balls. I had an image of tea, pressed into a small ball, that you dropped into a cup and poured boiling water over. I've never knew that's what those metal things were called, and now that I know, I wonder how I could have thought they could have been called something else.

Only if they market it under the slogan "Tea Balls - they're t'bollocks".
