Dave Grennall Cadbury's Fingers Review	Nicey, With the recent cold snap upon us we have been considering the traditional winter biscuit. We have confined our discussions to the emergency winter biscuit for the car along with warm clothing, spade, water etc that we are recommended to carry with us just in case. The biscuit should travel well (obviously) but should not be too moorish or you would just drive and eat it before even reaching the emergency stage. Is there anything you could recommend as if I was stranded without a biscuit stock survival would be hard. My personal favourite, the chocolate finger biscuit, would survive well given its chocolate coat, would survive the low temperatures (chocolate is good cold) but would lose out in the moorish test as it would be eaten well before I even got it to the car. Thanks in anticipation, Dave
	Nicey replies: Dave, In any such survival situation my mind immediately turns to a large pack of Digestives, for all the reasons you outline. Plus being a large pack there would be more to survive with. Mind you the new Huntley and Palmers have revived the biscuits that were supplied to Capt Scott on his ill fated Antarctic expedition. They turn up in various camping and hiking shops next to the energy bars.
Sue Northcott Cadbury's Fingers Review	While on the hunt in Lidl Pontardawe for some nice, but cheap chocolate for a chocolate fountain for my daughters birthday party I stumbled upon the Mister Choc Biscuit Minis range. We were particularly taken by the Westminster, which is a mini version of a Cadbury's Chocolate finger, only even nicer. You didn't think that was possible, did you? Well I didn't, anyway. The biscuits come in 150g blue and red bags, emblazoned with attractive photos of the biscuits and a little union flag peaking out from behind their name. Each biscuit is about an inch and a half long, and much finer than the Cadbury version. The actual biscuit is a lovely crisp shortbread. The packet states that they are 48% chocolate, and wonderful chocolate it is. When we opened the packet it was completely empty within 5 minutes. I had to go back to Lidl for cat food last night, and somehow 2 more bags of Westminsters found their way home with me. I've hidden one in the kitchen and the other has come to work to help me and my colleagues through a prolonged and hairy disaster recovery exercise. I'll save them for that moment of crisis in the wee small hours when chocolate is always most appreciated.
	Nicey replies: Yes the MisterChoc stuff does seem to be very good. Lots of people are very impressed by their Jaffa Cakes too. I will have to get a pack of Westminsters next time we are in a Lidls and try and banish the thoughts of last Lidls aberration we suffered.
Greg Shailes Cadbury's Fingers Review	Now I'm not a violent person, I'm only joining this topic in the hope of generating a 'biscuits as weapons' icon... At our office we used to get a weekly 'Broken Biscuit Assortment' from our friendly milkperson. For a period of a few weeks, this weekly box of treats was turned hideously wrong as it contained broken 'Barbie biscuits'. These little abominations were akin to custard creams, however the biscuit had a distincly cardboard consistency and the cream within was a vile pink colour and very very strongly flavoured of that awful saccharine-sweet "strawberry" chemical taste. In fact they were so strongly flavoured that the presence of just a single Barbie biscuit polluted the entire box, making all the other biscuits within taste like those awful scented erasers all the girls had at school in the 80s. What's my point? Well, provided one had suitable breathing apparatus, the Barbie biscuit would work extremely well as a Weapon Of Mass Disgustion. In the hypothetical Die Hard 4 biscuit battle scene, I'm sure a few well planted Barbie biscuits would soon have Mr Willis rendered unconcious allowing one to deliver the killer blow with a well aimed Ginger Nut or maybe a sharpened Cadbury's Finger would do the trick. Greg.
	Nicey replies: Greg, You're probably right as I'm having to scratch around for icons on this one.
