Don't get too impulsive, like these men did:

A cautionary tale for us all there.

Shortbread is by far the best type of biscuit, I've had chocolate covered shortbread to dip in my tea and it was the best tea break I've ever had. And chocolate shortbread cookies always tempt me on a trip to Sainsbury's/ Tesco.

Rich Tea biscuits are also great.

I like you.


I'm dying at this jammie dodger story. I also bought Jaffa Cakes today probably because of this thread. Screw you all.

You should try different brands of jaffa cakes. Some are much better than McVities which I always find are too spongy, not orangey enough and too little chocolate.

I've only had the cadburys ones and I really dont like them.

Educate me.

You'll just have to be brave and dive in as your preferences for sponge density and orangeyness may differ but I prefer the Bahlsen Messino jaffa cakes (available in most supermarkets).

The sponge is denser, the orange covers the whole sponge and is more orangey and the chocolate is thicker and crisper.

M&S ones are similar.

Cadbury's ones are awful.

 

[cabot]

Yeah I forgot I've had the M&S ones, and they're pretty good. They do a good cranberry flavour jaffa cake around Christmas that I always enjoy

The lack of Chocolate Kimberley representations is saddening.

I would eat a box in one sitting if left alone with them.

Ginger?

Utterly disgraced I've not seen chocolate malt biscuits mentioned yet.

Can you get Jacobs Jaffa cakes where you are? They are the best IMO

They truly are the god-king of biscuits.

I'm trying to determine what is the most British sounding food name. Jammy Dodgers or maybe spotted dick.

 

[Pyroclastic]

lol nm I'm a silly.

I'll just reiterate the malted milk love, a comfortable third for me behind bourbons and rich teas

What upside down world is this, they aren't crackers!!?!?

Pretty common in Ireland, not sure what the situation is with them in the UK. They are by far the nicest Jaffa Cakes you can get. I like the McVities ones but these are even nicer.

Maybe I've just never seen them in the shop, always just go for the McVitties. Might have to mix things up now.

If you are a fan of Jaffa Cakes then you owe it to yourself to try them.

I've never seen these, have Mcvities not trademarked the name Jaffa Cakes?!

There's about 3 or 4 brands called Jaffa Cakes available here, so obviously not. For example, Tesco have their own brand of Jaffa Cakes too.

From Wikipedia:

Because McVitie's did not trademark the name "Jaffa Cakes", other biscuit manufacturers and supermarkets have made similar products under the same name.

I'm eating one of these right now:

All you Garibaldi loving mother-effers owe me 60p. I was doing Tesco shopping this morning and bought some to see if they had improved since my great aunty Betty used to force them down my throat.

They have not improved.

Did get myself some lovely chocolate Hobnobs though, so it wasn't a complete biscuit disaster.
