Top 5 Biscuits

I can’t lie, Brittish biscuits were pretty terrible.

[emo_pinata]

When I was living there I loved tea, but I never could understand digestives no matter how they got packaged. Then again I don’t add milk to hot tea either so I’m just a heathen in general.

[politeruin]

Loving tea gets you on the road to redemption, brother. Even though you have angered the biscuit gods today.

In other words, Jaffa Cakes are officially borderline biscuits.

Detective Jack Spratt would like to have a word in regard to the Gingerbread Man.

That recipe doesn’t have any hartshorn, though?

@d_r

mandelbrot (misspelled by me above; mandlbrat would be some kind of sausage made from Canadian game show hosts).

I understood you anyway. Bethmännchen, as they are known as in one of my hometowns.

I foresee a dunking.

[politeruin]

Yup. Get the big cup, Tamsin.

This is perfectly acceptable.

Do wafers count as biscuits? Because these are dope.

Do wafers count as biscuits?

The man from HMRC, he say - yes!

VFOOD6220 - Excepted items: Confectionery: The borderline between ...

Wafer confectionery, comprising a wafer case with a sweet filling, to be eaten on its own rather than as part of (for example) an ice cream, is likely to be zero-rated as a biscuit.

Dunking excludes another strain of biscuit – the cheese biscuit. Some can crossover – Digestives and Hobnob – emphasising their superiority. Oatcakes, water biscuits and Olivers also serve.

Wait. Those wafer things are meant to be dunked in tea?

Do these have to be commercially prepped? We don’t have most of the cookies listed here. I really like homemade sugar cookies with Earl Grey. Of course, I also like Earl grey with milk over ice

Earl grey with milk over ice

[Kii]

Particularly delicious with some local honey. Kind of like a Thai iced tea.
It’s hot here a lot! Like 90 to 100 (32.2 to 37.7). Hot tea on those days is just not happening.

[Tamsin_Bailey]

Fair enough. I am prone to forgetting cups of tea and often end up with it cold. That’s certainly not the weirdest preparation of Earl Grey I know of, one of my friends only steeps the bag for 5 seconds. Not really sure why she bothers

[Kii]

Eh? That’s a waste of a bag! I tend to over steep because I get distracted. Good that I like bitter tastes because I drink it anyway

[d_r]

That looks like a photo of one of my English neighbours the first time I offered her an iced tea.

Awfully near homeopathic tea…
