Best biscuit in the world?

McVities' Fruit n' Spice had no equal back in the day...

Fig rolls mmmmmmm. Not allowed them any more ,neither another favourite Garibaldi.
I quite like original Ryvita with a bit of cheddar. Cheeselets were really nice and then they "improved" them, and guess what they didn't.

I'm sure some one will post about their handmade oat stove cakes made with hand picked oats by a peasant in outer Mongolia and only £54 for 100gms.

I stil don't think you can beat a chocolate digestive

...Except a plain digestive. Or on highdays and holidays, a jammy dodger.

For sheer decadence I like Bahlsen Biscuits

http://www.bahlsen.co.uk/

when I was a demonstrator at CeBit one year the stand I was performing on supplied plates of the chocolate biscuits along with an av demo that included the Vangelis variant of Bladerunner

and for every day indulgence - Anzac biscuits.

And talking of biscuits - I had a tour of the United Biscuits distribution centre near Ashby de la Zouch a few years back = most interesting - WiFi connected fork lift trucks.

Och, away wi ye Jon; ye cannae whack a TUNNOCKS CARAMEL WAFER!

Another vote for the Tunnock's Wafer - an open packet is an empty packet if its anywhere near me!

Yum...

Do Tunnock's Teacakes count? Too... cakey? They don't travel well, sadly.

Toksik - are you *really* in Waterfoot?

A Rice cake dipped in tea

Two plain digestives with butter in between.

Now we're getting a bit too creative....if we're talking biscuit recipes then you can't beat a KitKat sandwich. Only white buttered bread though.

I was first introduced to those particular delights by my wife's gran in Penicuik 16 years ago and now they are my favourites too. I also have a particular fondness for garibaldi.

But did you ever have biscuit nirvana - the chocolate garibaldi. They made them in the mid 70's for about a year and then stopped. Wonderful, I have never had a better biscuit ever...except maybe fig rolls which I used to eat by the packet.

Don't eat biscuits anymore - they aren't like they used to be

Sorry Guys but for me it has to be the Bourbon..or if we're talking contemporary, the chocolate covered hob nob!!

I would normally have to go with the Tunnocks tea cake...but it is a cake. Classed as such by the government...no VAT because of the classification.

You can't beat a Little Schoolboy, Lu's Petit Ecolier in dark and light.
Chocolate digestives are a close second though.

Oh, Bourbons!!!! Good call Ryan

Co-op Digestives. The larger packs is 46 pence, while the small [half size version] is 45! With butter as Willy suggests these are something even more incredibly fine. I eat the whole pack as a treat, but all too rarely.

Next is the Garibaldi! Then McVitties Ginger Nuts! Even better dunked in real coffee. Better than all these were the Ginger Nuts my mother used to make, but then she also used to make real toffee, which required a toffee hammer to make suckable pieces! You could not chew it.

Custard creams no longer seems as smooth and creamy as they used to be...

Yep you can't beat a Chocolate Digestive though have you tried McVities Oat Crunch Chocolate biscuits. They are yummy as well.

Let me declare in favour of the PLAIN chocolate digestive - none of yer namby-pamby milk ones.
