This Sunday Silly Topic
UK, biscuits
or US, cookies. Myself can't beat a good Custard cream. Chocolate Digestive from the fridge. Those Tollhouse Cookies, now thats a strange soggy doughy thing. You can bend it. Crunchy, snappy is winner everytime. Reg. Frank R. |
Oh its got to be Pillsbury cookies, the kind that you buy straight from the fridge and just place the dough on a baking tray. Yum! I do like jammy dodgers though.
|
Goodnews around here, those boxes of Peak Freans (Made in Canada) my US wife only likes the Bourbons. I get the Custard cream, Jammy Dodgers. Annoying they only sell the assorted box. Can't buy just Bourbons or Custard creams.

My fiancée is crazy about jammy dodgers & jaffa cakes. She wants me to bring a suitcase of them over when I finally emigrate.
Cheers |
Those Jaffa Cakes are real messy if you dunk them. Just kidding.

Anyone for a nice Garibaldi?
Garibaldi Biscuits “...instead of offering me a Garibaldi biscuit, she asked me with that faint lisp of hers, to 'have some squashed flies George'�. H.G. Wells in 'Tono-Bungay' (1909) Ya can't make this stuff up. Reg. Frank R. Happy dunking & a good Memorial Day. |

Oreo cookies are good but only in ice cream. Now there's another topic.
Frank R. Guess my old teeth like crispy crunchy not soft cookies. Just had a really nice Biscotti with almonds, still they are Italian. |

There are some really cheap cookies you can buy in the supermarket that are the dogs. They come in 4 (i think) flavours and are like custard creams - they are really cheap and really yummy. Any one know the name of them (I just see them and shove them in the basket - I have chowed all the ones in the house)
The only biscuit I miss are Tunnocks Teacakes (do they count as biscuits), I do like wagon wheels and Jaffa cakes as well but I don't crave them like I do Tunnocks) Patrick |

I've found them in my local Harris Teeter. There's also an American product that's pricier (I think). They're called "Pinwheels" and are made by Nabisco. I think they're found in most grocery stores.

Anyone old enough to remember when Wagon Wheels were about 3/4" thick & 5" in diameter. I think they also had jam in the center. I got them in the school tuck shop.
Frank R. What about those CLUB's, do they still sell them? |

Before I left the UK they had just brought back the old advertising for clubs - all together now "If like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit try a club" Patrick |
Originally posted by Patrick My Mum used to work in the Factory that made them in Blackpool when I was a child (she worked there between the ages of 7 and 10 (me not my mum)) and she used to bring the misshapes home all the time. I grew up on the wagon wheels that where the size of real life wagon wheels! Now you know why I am 250lbs!

Frank R. |
Tunnocks Teacakes and mint or orange Jacobs Clubs. Sheer delight.
I wish they sold them in New York... Milk chocolate bourbons too. I used to sit and eat an entire pack with a pint of milk, total bliss. |
