The 10 Most Best Biscuits

Thursday, June 19, 2008

Pigeon-holed in “Life

It occurred to me at some point today that I have never shared the following life-critical information.

  1. The Bourbon
  2. McVities Mint Chocolate Digestive (special occasions only)
  3. McVities Dark Chocolate Digestive
  4. The Foxes Cream (too sweet for everyday use)
  5. The Gingernut
  6. The Malted Milk (chew around the cows for most enjoyment)
  7. Jammy Dodger
  8. The (Controversial) Jaffa Cake
  9. Squashed Fly Biscuits
  10. Rich Tea (to be eaten with plenty of liquids)

The Hobnob is like eating sandpaper, and creates an uncontrollable mess. It is most certainly not in the top ten biscuits.

These are cold, hard facts and I realise maybe hard for some people to swallow, but you can’t argue with the truth.

Ah, a serious post I can comment on. Well, with number 8, surely the answer is in it’s name, that’s all I’m saying. WTF are ‘Squashed Fly Biscuits’?

I agree with the Bourbon, I have a pack in the house right now infact. I think the Chocolate Digestives are taking up too many spots, but again, I have a pack (of dark) in the house! A playmate, as I like to think of it, of the Bourbon is clearly the Custard Cream, where are these?

I’m sorry, I’m partial to Hobnobs, or the SAS of the biscuit world, combined with the same criteria of number 10, are perfect.

This reminds of the Peter Kay sketch about biscuits, which I’m now currently laughing along to.

One last thing, “most best” ...?

Squashed fly biscuits are those ones with raisins in. For lack of knowing what their real name is (something like fruit shortcake?) I have used their nickname.

For once can’t we leave the poor Jaffa alone. It has a confused identity and I think highlighting this just adds to the problem. I did warn that it has a habit of starting arguments.

Custard cream are a favourite, but I tend to think of these like the benchmark of biscuits, not worthy of any particular merit, but always steadfast as the perfect mid-ranger. For this reason they do not feature as a top-ten delicacy.

I agree, ‘most best’ is incorrect. It should read, ‘most bestest’.
