What's Your Favourite Biscuit?

[sj184]

I saw some at local supermarket recently, years after I first tried them.

Absolutely love them. I've tried a few own brand ones (they all seem to be from the same supplier) and the Jacob's branded ones.

Anyone like these?

RE: Fig Rolls

Fig Rolls and Garibaldis were always a special treat when I was a child, even to this day I occasionally treat myself with a pack of one or the other. I do prefer Fig Rolls though so these get bought more often.

RE: Fig Rolls

wow, that takes me back. Yes, i like them....don't eat too many though, unless you are staying at home the next day. Might have to nip out and get some.

Well when I hear fig rolls mentioned I immediately think of Catterick - the brilliant scene in the abandoned caravan with all the cakes. :icon_razz: I am aware that very few people will have any idea what I'm talking about. :s

Fig Rolls

Love fig roll and Garibaldi. My daughter won't touch Garibaldi as I told her they were made of squashed flies. Nobody else likes them so I get them all to myself. Another old favourite for me is Jacobs Lemon Puffs and McVites Fruit Shortcake.

RE: Fig Rolls

Oh yeah, fruit shortcakes are nice; very addicitve too.

Looks like Sainsburys have had their recipe changed slightly in recent days/weeks. The old pack I have doesn't list hydrogenated egetable oils in the ingredients, but the new one does:

I know the Jacobs Fig Rolls, which are a lot more expensive, specificaly say 'no hydrogenated veg oils' on the packet.

Re: Fig Rolls

That was a great show. I liked the scene where Carl rings hotel reception pretending to ring the bloke whose name I can't remember that was in the poster Chris ripped. Even when he ended up ordering room service chris was none the wiser.

:icon_razz: Heehee - love that scene. They're scoffing the gooseberries and it's making their faces pucker up as they chat.

What's everyone else's favourite biscuit?

 

[Pig Cat]

Not sure I've an absolute fave, but at the moment I like these:

I think I started a biscuit thread once. Could have been yonks ago on CONUK.

 

[NotTheStig]

Chocolate hobnobs I would say, but few biscuits make my shit list. Custard creams and Bourbons are pretty dull though.
