Hannah Mills Oreo Review	I think it should just be pointed out that the Oreo "biscuit" is a classic example of how the Americans have absolutely no concept of what a biscuit should be. They should leave the people who know what they're doing to it and concentrate on things that they can do, like eating the lovely biscuits that us British make, like Rich Tea biscuits for example. Yours sincerely, Hannah Mills (Biscuit fan)
Laura Hamilton Oreo Review	I am an American. I'm also Canadian (and your review of Maple Cookies omitted the fact they're intolerably sweet - and it takes 40 gallons of maple sap to make a gallon of syrup, not 75). I thought I should get my North American roots out of the way first just so that you understand where I'm coming from, literally and figuratively.   I'm also a writer and as such I spend a huge amount of time researching "stuff" (what a great word for someone with a Master's in English, huh?) which is rather heavy. So it was a delight to find your web page which is relaxing and fun to read.   However, I have to give you another slant on the Oreo cookies you so unmercifully trashed. One aspect of them you have completely neglected is the cookie's place in a transposed North American's psyche. When I miss the States and Canada, a trip to Sainsbury's helps a lot, when I can stand in front of the Oreo cookie boxes and remember so many things from "across the pond" dear to me. Time was I had to bring North American "stuff" (there's that word again) back to England where I have lived for 20 years. Now that I can buy Oreo cookies here, my suitcases are considerably lighter which British Airways probably appreciates no end.   And as far as instructions on how to eat Oreos go, that is the fun part of eating them. Spend time taking the cookie apart, peeling off the vanilla with your teeth (though double vanilla ones are a bit too sweet), then crunching the cookie halves when they still have a hint of sweet filling on them, and you spend a lot less time eating more and more cookies. No, I'm far from fat, believe me. But once in a while, a cookie treat of Oreos is delightful, and a reminder of home. I for one am really, really, really pleased Oreos have come to England.
Gordon J. Lowe	Hi Tea 'n' biccy lovers, I was wondering what people thought about some tea bags my mum acquired called "Rocket Fuel". They are regular square bags but fortified with taurine (along with the usual caffeine). The idea, obviously, to get you on the go in the morning a lot efficiently than regular tea. I found a brew with these bags was too weak (two bags allowed some flavour). I did seem to gain added vigour, but that could have been a "placebo effect". There was a free sachet of "Rocket Fuel" coffee, which was very nice. Any views about this product? PS: favourite biscuit for dunking: Fox's Classic (Fox's ARE the biscuit kings!) Bye.
	Nicey replies: They have to put taurine in cat food or else cats go all wrong, that's why you shouldn't give them dog food as they will start to mis-function. So it must be vital ingredient in cats, a bit like tea is in normal human beings. Not sure I would be drawn to the stuff sounds like they are using grotty tea to make them.
Salty sea dogs Ginger Nut Review	We were sailing a small yacht from Falmouth to La Coruna in northern spain, with a crew of myself, my wife and a friend Ian, who being a northerner arrived complete with pint mug for his "propper cuppa", of which he had at least 8 a day. The problems with small yachts is that drinking water is limited and finite, our total capacity was 25 gallons, of which Ian got through 8 gallons in tea making alone, during the five day trip. Arriving at 6.00 am in Spain, having crossed the awsome bay of Biscay, did we celebrate with Champagne? No fear, tea and ginger biscuits!
Carley Dashey	Cool site. My ex-boyfriend had VERY specific tea making requirements. Milk in cup, but no sugar YET. Hold teabag against rim of cup and pour water over (trying not to burn fingers). Leave few minutes. take out bag, add sugar. I bung bag in cup, pour water, leave, bag out, milk and sugar in....and whenever I made it like that, he KNEW. How?! Does it taste different when made different ways? And I like the biscuits with the cows on them. Moo Moo biscuits I called them. :-)
