Favorite Bickies!

[Quinzy]

to all who don't know:
buiscut is european
cookie is american
in europe a cookie is a type of biscuit (chocolate chip or nut chip)

and my vote is hob-nob (wholegrain/oatmeal biscuit)

 

[ummmm........]

So that answers my "where would oatmeal fit" question . . .

I always favored oatmeal (or fig newtons, as mentioned) until Chips Ahoy started making a whole grain chocolate chip cookie. I've been eating those for a while, but I'll probably go back to oatmeal cookies and newtons once the novelty wears off these new ones . . .

the "others" section i presume..

 

[Raisin Bran]

My personal fav goes in the "other" section

its called "Le petit écolier" and its made in france by the compagny LU

Its a shortbread cookie with a 1/8" (4mm) chocolate top.

Whoever it was that said Britain and America were a people separated by common language was right. That said, I like chocolate chip cookies and oreos.

 

[Urederra]

Wow, you Europeans are weird

Let's say that British are weird.

They have weird taste on the other side of the channel. BTW, one type of them looks like a cookie for doggys. And some of them looks too brand specific.

Becuase that biscuit WAS for doggies you ignoramus! Brand specific? What the hell you on about?

We're not that wierd it's just we grew up with only our own brands untill maybe ten years ago and kind of have a- What's that word when you have a romanticised view of the past - relationship with them, I love american style cookies, Orios and Chocolate chip cookies, fig newtons are called fig rolls here I think and they are divine also.

Hence the

I assumed most people wouldn't need a picture of a nutty biscuit to figure out what it is

 

[BCLG100]

i like hobnobs! they're awesome!

 

[GoldEagle]

So...you eat those "Ex-Lax Cookies" because they taste good?

If you mean digestives, then no. You see, the most important thing to look for in a British biscuit is how well it can be dipped in tea.

Important factors to consider:

- Will it fall apart
- Will it absorb the tea to a sufficient extent
- Will the flavour of the biscuit interfere with that of the tea
- Will it fit into the cup
- Will it (in the case of layer biscuits) melt into the tea

The best dippers are:

Digestives
Rich Tea
Chocolate Digestives

Although most of the others in the OP can be used.

Rich Tea

I'm guessing you haven't seen Peter Kay?
As I remember he thinks Rich Tea are pathetic dunkers. Whereas Hob-nobs are the Marines of the dunking world.
Hob-nobs: "Is that all you've got?? Dunk me again!!"
Chocolate digestives are also bad dunkers because the chocolate melts off. I like bourbons or some other form of cream for dunking personally. But then I have far too much experience. During sixth-form I got through about a pack of biscuits a day.

The British vs. American cookie is a little more complicated as well. We have cookies too. So, for example, chocolate chip is still a cookie, not a biscuit. I guess this is mainly because we've been Americanised.

 

[Aramazd]

I like choclate chip, but I certainly don't dunk them in tea.

 

[Oruc]

Custard creams, but I dont drink tea

 

[Wolfe Tone]

Chocolate Vienese are lovely. Some of them and a pint of milk makes an excellent movie watching snack

 

[Pyrite]

Wow...british people are so..CUTE. ahhhh
