Bourbons!
Especially the 29p for 40 variety e.g. Happy Shopper. Dipped in tea, the filling melts a bit, allowing slurpy goo fun. Then when the tea is drunk, there may be a choc sludge at the bottom.
Or split them down the middle, allowing the licking of the cream, or even the removal intact of the cream, much like the orangey-bit-ectomy performed on Jaffa Cakes.
Regards,

Nicey replies: Ace. Advanced biscuit eating skills, I think a special page might be in order,
As you say:
Smashing Orangey bit ectomy
Total Bourbon disassembly.
And maybe:
Total Custard Cream disassembly.
Cow-ectomy, malted milk.
Fig roll crust removal.
Chocolate Marshmallow upper choc depletion. |

We have a biscuit related question that has caused some debate in our house. It relates to the blue riband biscuit and the pronunciation there of. I am of the belief that it should be spoken "blue rib-and" with the empathise on AND Clare on the other hand believes it to be "blue riband" as in a ribbon and that you might tie in your hair if you were a girl and had long enough hair...as the expert we are putting this to you to decide. There's quite a lot riding on this [the respect of my woman] so if you could come out in my favour I would be grateful.
Yours Sincerely
Thomas & Clare |
Nicey replies: Thank you for your biscuit enquiry.
You are of course right. If they wanted people to call it blue ribbon, they would have written that on the packet. |

I have written to inform you of a Maryland Biscuit which is almost identical to the chocolate chip variety, but the chocolate has been replaced with none other than chewy little jammy things. I enjoy eating these Biscuits with a lovely warm mug of coffee, but the jammy things do tend to get stuck in the teeth.
I think they're called Maryland Jam flavour and I would love it if you would put them on your website, to help to open peoples' eyes to the jam and biscuit combination.

Love the site, especially the Malted Milks and the ducks. But any comment on the Jammy Dodger?

Nicey replies: Thanks for the mail.
Yours is the second enquiry on Jammy Dodgers today, and I do have strong opinions on the subject, so yes I will be covering them in the near future. |

Hello, why can you not get white chocolate biscuits? i had a long conversation about this today and I have come to the concliusion that it can't be because they would be disgusting, because they would be crantastic (fantastic with a hint of cranberry). So why?!!??? please answer this, the stupidity of biscuit makers in this matter is driving me insane. Thank you. |
Nicey replies: You can get them but I have only seen them at Christmas time. I had white chocolate Cadbury's fingers last Christmas, they rocked. Woo
However, I imagine a white chocolate digestive might cause necessary panic amongst the populace at large, and that the government have special powers to control the issue of white chocolate biscuits by the various manufacturers, probably, I suppose. |
