I voted custard cream, but dudes? where was pink wafers?
Added 😉
Yeah, pink wafers are ordinary enough to qualify fir this list I think. They’re not too ordinary or average like the plain digestive yet not too fancy like the afore mentioned biscuit with chocolate on the inside. Penguins , Club, and that sort of individually wrapped chocolate biscuit pass in to the “too fancy” bracket with Oreos and stuff like that. Stuff that’s a bit too expensive for the humble wargamer. We’re talking ordinary to semi ordinary here!!
Warren, have you loaded the vote? one vote each for Bourbons, custard creams and rich tea at 33% and then a vote for pink wafers at 1%. somebodies maths is dodgy 🙂
Opps, I was trying to change @demyse vote to his bloody pink wafers 😉
Fixed now
I don’t think I can get any of those here, so I vote for more block lifting for Warren.
If it was for the purposes of dunking in coffee I’d have said ginger nuts, for tea, has to be choc hobnobs and rammed in ones gob in one go. Nothing more attractive than spending the rest of the day with chocolate in the corners of your mouth.
as any bona-fide three to seven year old will tell you , no doubt…. hahaha (lolz) spending the rest of the day with chocolate in the corners of your mouth – that is. Until your mum comes along and spits in her hankie to wipe your face clean of the chocolate smeared all over it…. I swear this hasn’t happened since I was seven years old…. honest.
These days I’m capable of eating like a human being; (as opposed to the cookie monster method of mastication (chewing) hahaha
COOKIES (said in the voice of the Cookie Monster)
Ha ha ha. I am actually munching a chocky digestive while watching Backstage. They get my vote…mmm… So chocolatey, so… digestivey…. garrrrrrr 🙂
Bourbon isn’t a biscuit. Bourbon comes in Square bottles.
Rich tea for the win! especially with cheese on!
Agreed! Although.. Bourbon (Creams) are the best biscuit in the specialist category of dunking IMHO, but Rich Tea is the King of Biscuits because it is so versatile. As you say, Rich Tea + cheese = win!
Nobody mentioned cheese…. tis isn’t a damned tea party, it’s real men’s building work! And the same goes for Pink Wafers! We don’t need any of that fancy rubbish …. Keep it simple. Chocolate hobnobs bourbon creams and custard creams are about as fancy as it should get. Although I might make a wild card request for some Garibaldi biscuits if that’s not pure sacrilege and Justin doesn’t object too much.
And what’s the general consensus on Oreos? lolz
We’re talking a slightly different kind of bourbon here, my friend. But your comment doesn’t fall on deaf ears…. hahahaha. But I think the particular drink you’re speaking of (rhyming with Dack Janiels’ is not actually a Bourbon. Strictly speaking it’s a Tennessee Whiskey. Quite what it is that defines the difference , I don’t know but I have observed that it’s never reffered to as a Bourbon in adverts for it and it doesn’t say anything about being a bourbon on the rather famous and distinct bottle either. Although I can’t say my pallet is sophisticated to know a… Read more »
Khong Guan Raisin Biscuit. (AKA: Sultana…the name says it all.) I’m with Justin…filling inside the biscuit is best!
The sucking one! You suck it through then put it back on the plate for someone else to pick up.
My sisters used to dunk toast in tea! And yes it was buttered toast…… yuk!!!
Buttered toast is for dunking in soup… well it was, pre-diet.
Btw, Choc Hob No here. Yummie. Although dunking Marathons as my favorite all being told. 🙂
The effects of Fit Club are kicking in. Everyone is obsessing about biscuits.
Chocolate digestive. End of. The Emperor of biscuity goodness.
Where’s the plain Digestive ?
In my digestive system 😛
Nahhhhh , the problem with plain Digestive biscuits is they are just a little too ordinary and boring for a tea break snack/munchy. That goes for Rich Tea biscuits too. That’s why the chocolate digestive is the best invention ever – in the history of time, the universe and every thing! Plain Chocolate is best but Milk Chocolate is a very acceptable substitute. Chocolate Chip Digestives is another thing, like Ginger Nut Creams that I think were exclusive to Tesco and I used to frickin’ LOOOOOOOVE them! Sort of like a chocolate chip cookie but some how slightly less indulgent… Read more »
Watch it Lloyd, dissing the chocolate hob nob is fighting talk.
I second Gingernuts and especially now ive discovered Gingernut Creams in Tesco. Errrm not that i’m eating them at all…. just looking…..sort of
Gingernuts sound like a racial slur for some reason.
NOOOOOoooooo…… The Noble Gingernut is one of those things that’s perfect in its simplicity. When you start adding cream and sh*t to it you’re messing about with a perfect formula. As indulgent and drule-ingly delicious as it might be to add cream to it , it’s really unnecessary and probably skyrockets the cost of the thing to excessive proportions. This is what I’m saying about “Luxury biscuits.” Things like Chocolate Digestives Hob-nobs and Ginger-nuts is about as luxurious as it needs to get. Otherwise you have to keep them under lock and key in the biscuit cupboard or you’ll find… Read more »
ah, finally a XLBS episode with some interesting content.
XLBS – Extra Large Biscuit Survey.
Justin’s Stupid F**king Cookie, got my vote!
@WARZAN
I thought of you when I seen the backstage video today, Peter Kay came to mind.
Enjoy the brief video below

Ohhh , (moan of disappointment…) I thought this would be the one about , “your biscuit falling in your brew.” That’s a frickin’ classic. hahaha (grinning from ear to ear as I reminisce about it…..)
Of course none of those are over here, at least not by those names. But if you haven’t had chunky chocolate chip cookies, you are missing the emperor of cookies.
Kit Kat straw for the win!!!
nahhh; you see – again like the Club and the Penguin, the fine and noble Kit Kat is a bit too fancy for this poll I think. Besides ; you can easily argue that it’s closer to a chocolate bar / chocolate wafer than a biscuit. And as for dunking your Snickers Bar in your tea/coffee , don’t even get me started on why that isn’t a biscuit and there for doesn’t count…. That’s almost as barbaric as deep frying your mars bar! (note to self…. still need to try me a deep fried mars bar and maybe deep fried… Read more »
Ginger Nut biscuits, the true lords of all biscuitdom
I will always associate Ginger nuts with having them with milk in nursery school…. (yes – I know. Laugh all you want. (grimaces and shakes fist angrily at computer screen.)
King of Biscuits???
Yugi Muto would say:
ITS TIME… TOO
DU DU DU DU
DUNK!
Yes, whenever I saw that opening I had to resist the urge to smack the telly to stop it skipping like that
In Australia we have the Tim Tam.
Truly the greatest!!!
Yep.
You need to get yourself to somewhere that stocks Australian Biscuits, and do a review of Tim Tams. Then you need to organise a petition to ask Arnotts why they are holding out on you guys.
I was looking for the Tim Tam mention. The other superior alternative is the Kingston. Interesting we seem to have the top two selections on the planet.
Tim Tams are just Penguins in disguise 😛
Just thought id add, not really a biscuit but when I vist Japan I go to the closest 7 Eleven or Lawson and try to find the strangest flavour of Kit Kat …
So far Red Bean Sandwich (you just have to taste it to believe how weird it is) or Edamame Soybean are the close winners, but they are not always on sale which is annoying if you go in the wrong part of the year
In China I always get the Oreo flavors they have. I’ve had mint, grape and peach, strawberry, birthday cake and ice cream
Maryland Choc chip & Hazelnut COOKIES (always said in Cookie Monster voice! 🙂 @arcanechris )
….. and yes a reason to be a member of Fit Club!
My problem is that I am incapable of opening a packet of biscuits and eating one or two. I eat the whole lot in one go! COOOOOOOKIES!!!!!! (especially Maryland choc chip!)
I voted pink wafer due the lack of a jammy dodger option.
