For me my all time No.1 is not a real biscuit or cake yes it the Jaffa Cake which causes biscuits debates. :) For a quick dunking in coffee I go for Hobnobs.

I started my day with a biscuit. It's good u boat food, you can keep those for up to half a year or longer.
I would like to try those Jaffa Cakes. I'm not from the UK so it's going to be fun explaining what they are.

Please don't start that bloody Jaffa Cake thing off again. They're NOT biscuits and they're NOT cakes either.
My favourite is the Custard Cream, especially the cheap ones.
My favorite or rather most consumed would be shortbread creams, excellent for dunking!!:yeah:

For Civil War reenacting: we bake our own to spec. Amazingly ...not bad dipped in campfire coffee, crumbled into stews, or with marmalade from the haversack; of course when you're running around in full gear all day with a musket-rifle...anything is good.:shucks: http://urbansurvivalsite.com/wp-content/uploads/how-to-make-hardtack-6.jpg These will last 50+ years-so for the survivalists at:subsim: a little Big Bang prep: http://urbansurvivalsite.com/make-your-own-hardtack/ (http://urbansurvivalsite.com/make-your-own-hardtack/)

Funny thing about them after dunking the melted chocolate helps to keep the biscuit whole.
Milk or plain Bossmark?
Or you don't care as long as you can pick either up. :haha:

Not one bit, you get to taste to real biscuit without all that sugar just like coke zero you get to taste the coke without being swamped by sugar. :)

I'm starting to get used to doing without sugar but never felt I would.

It's hard going jim, the amount of sugar you will find in food today may shock you. I bought some crab sticks today and in the ingredients was 5% sugar! I think the food Ind is working hand in glove with the drug Ind and we are the lab rats.
