Sophie Scowen	hi! i am sure that you have been asked this question a million times, however it is a question that is driving me mad, one that i have been challenged to find the answer to (and i can never turn down a challenge) and one that, try as i may, i cannot find the answer to! WHY DO DIGESTIVES/RICH TEA BISCUITS (and many other biscuits for that matter!) HAVE HOLES IN? enlighten me please!
	Nicey replies: Sophie, I think its to let the steam escape as they are baked, to ensure that the biscuit stays crisp with no damp patches underneath. But thats a guess.
BunnyHee	Dear Nicey, I am in love. Unfortunately, the man I am in love with does not know, and I am uncertain as to his feelings for me. Don't worry, this is not an agony aunt letter :) I write simply to ask how I might "seduce" him using the medium of biscuits. You are a man (aren't you?) therefore you should know what would work with you. He is a big biscuit fan - actually he'll eat just about anything - even rich teas! His favourite biscuit is actually a double chocolate chip cookie - one of the Somerfield variety. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Yours, Biscuit lover in love.
	Nicey replies: Well, without knowing the chap involved its a bit tricky. However there are basically two fronts on which to approach this. One, let him see you have hidden depths by producing a a stunningly appropriate biscuit. Now don't automatically play the chocolate card, a well placed Malted Milk or Digestive could do the trick. But if push comes to shove a chocolate HobNob milk or plain is appropriate in an adult setting. Two, timing is everything. No not two-timing. Yet again a Malted Milk and a nice cup of tea at just the right moment is worth a whole packet of chocolate biscuits and an indifferent cup of tea. I'll have to leave that bit up to your feminine intuition. Alternately you could just see if wants to go out on the lash with you. We men are terribly unperceptive you know.
Jackie D Oreo Review	Nicey, Oreos are scrummy -- especially, as one person commented, with a big glass of milk. (Then again, I've got strong childhood associations with them, so perhaps I'm biased.) When I moved to the UK six years ago, I could only find Oreos at specialty importer shops in London (and also in Amsterdam). A few years ago, they started showing up in Sainsburys, and now they're in my local cornershop. Rejoice! The comments approving of Oreo milkshakes and Oreo McFlurries are spot-on; for a lovely dessert, crush a bunch of Oreos and fold into a combination of whipped cream and Devon custard. No, this isn't health food, but everything in moderation, right? For what it's worth, the eating instructions are less instructions and more marketing thing; in the US, much is made of the "proper" way to eat an Oreo -- same with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. You're quite correct, though, that the Oreos packaged in quantities of four do not constitute the typical American's idea of a single Oreo serving. When I reported to my best friend (a stunning, slim female) back in the US of this phenomenon of four packets of four Oreos per box, she replied in horror: "Sixteen Oreos in a box? I eat more than that in one sitting!" Indeed, Oreos in the US come in packaging consisting of four corrugated cardboard "sleeves," with each sleeve holding a row of about twenty or so Oreos. My friend and I agreed that one sleeve of Oreos seemed the proper quantity for consumption in one sitting, especially if you've been chucked.   I can't believe I had so much to say about Oreos. For shame. jackie
Becky Davis	Kind Sir, does anyone remember a gorgeously wonderful biscuit called Romany? Chocolate round biscuits sandwiched together with a glorious chocolate fudge. My memories of them make me drool, and I can't even recall who made them. They were available in supermarkets till about 7 years ago. They were so nice that my husband suggested naming our first born after them, but feared that this was a bit naff. if they are still available I would love to find out if they were as good as i remember. Aaah, Romany.
Pterodactylman	Hello, My name is Pterodactylman and do I have the very biscuit for you! It is an Australian one called : "Iced Vo-Vo".   Look, if it helps, I can sing you the song that this biscuit has inspired in me!   "I wish I were a biscuit, an iced Vo-Vo to be exact- with plain biscuit on my bottom; and coconut -in my crack.. but what about the pink bits.. we gotta talk about them, 'cos some of it is icing; the rest of it is jam... and in our crinkly packet - we'd make such a celophane racket; in groups of nine, we'd form a conga line and I know it sounds lame-but all the same....   (repeat ad infinitum)   ..oh yeah...it is manufactured by Arnotts...   Double-baked goodness to you,   Pterodactylman
