National biscuit day: what does your favourite biscuit say about you?

Digestive biscuit lovers are fun-loving, while fruit shortcake enthusiasts are charming according to a poll

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...about-you.html

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 reckon your favorite must be the fruitcake

No good for dunking, and too sweet.

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.

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.

Yes, I know. But I mean when I walk in a store... People around where I live don't have a clue what they are. It's funny.

Probably because you live in Zwolle....I used to live in Dordrecht.

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.

Reece · 05-29-16, 08:05 AM

My favorite or rather most consumed would be shortbread creams, excellent for dunking!!

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.

These will last 50+ years-so for the survivalists at
