A Fat Rascal is certainly not a biscuit.

I dunno, I kinda like the funeral biscuit, aesthetically.

Naturally there will be an official MyHeartland biscuit - what kind of fly-by-night operation do you think we're running?! Based on the feedback received, it will be like a digestive but with a garibaldi DQ (Dunking Quotient, since you asked), covered on one side (the top, not the bottom. No, I don't care what McVities says - clearly the chocolatey bit is the top) with a special blend of dark chocolate formulated by the Swiss master-choclatiers SigSauer, who have perfected a weapons-grade, desert-approved recipe that allows the chocolate to be dunked in tea of up to 1320 degrees celsius with only minimal meltage. Baked into the biscuit will be the old-style Merciful Release logo, with the letters M & H placed either side. We have been testing the biscuits rigorously over the past several weeks and can vouch for their excellence.
They will be served during all refreshment periods and break-out sessions, and will also be for sale in the conference foyer.
And anyone who mentions certain other bands which may or may not have formed post their members' association with
will be forced to squat on a Custard Cream for the remainder of the conference. You have been warned.

Apparently there are "Dead Cakes" in parts of Europe, with the image of the deceased on them, which mourners are encouraged to consume as a sort of communion/remembrance ritual

Nope, no portraits on them. They are usually round brioche like with no sketches and sweet. I always liked them. They taste great.

So today i have reached a new low in tea making and have managed to boldly go where no man has gone before.
Never mind does the milk go before the tea or after, somehow i have just put a teabag into a pint of milk.
What is going on with my brain today i have no idea!

Chocolate or in other cases syrup must be on the upper side when eating it and put it in your mouth cause the taste sensors of sweetness lie on the upper side of mouth mostly.
