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.

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'�.

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.

Penguins kept in the fridge. Even my Yanky son likes them.

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)

I really like the Tunnocks caramel wafers. They're about 3" long with a gold/white/red paper wrapper. The strangest thing is that I saw them in a jar in a local Caribbean restaurant.

I think the North American equivalent of the Tunnocks Teacake is a Canadian product called "Whippets". 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.

What about those CLUB's, do they still sell them?

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!

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"

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.
