hello there,
there's this sort of factory-shop-for-biscuits place in this town in scotland.
i've been to scotland a few times and each time i go here to get the nicest biscuits ever. they are fresh, cooked on the premises, and amazingly tasty. they even have gypsy creams. yum. they also sell nice cake and gingerbread and other fondant fancys.
if you are ever in the castle douglas area of scotland, i reckon u should go there.

Nicey replies: Yep, sounds very useful, I've committed that to memory. It didn't say on the web page but if they were to do big mugs of tea as well, I think people could go there for a weeks holiday, and camp in the car park. |

More Nice biscuit stuff - Me and my biscuit partner decided recently that they should be given a chance and that maybe they were just mis-understood and very clearly the subject of a hate campaign led by Nicey the biscuit master general. After all, we both clearly remembered eating them as kids. So, we bought a pack, and ate them.
And were both nearly sick.
Conclusive proof.

Nicey replies: That was a dangerous and foolhardy stunt at best. Think on.

Charles here, I have written to inform you of my opinion of the so called 'pink wafer'
As you can quite obviously tell, the biscuit is simply named, it being of the wafery pink variety, but the setup is rather complex, a pink wafer sandwiching a slice of sweet creamy 'stuff' I have compiled in my own time a list showing the advantages and disadvantages of this new breed of biscuit
ADVAN. (standing for advantages obviously)
they are pink
DISADVAN
The crumbs fall in the coffee/tea
They are rather sickly alone
------------------------------------------------------------------
I am sorry that this e-mail has been completely pointless
and i apologise for wasting your time
Thank you

Nicey replies: Razor sharp biscuit logic.
Well done. |

Sorry nicey, but I like nice biscuits. They're from Nice in France (pronounced NEICE)
Pink wafers, however are truly the spawn of satan.I remember when I was a cub scout, doing the bob-a-job & crappy stuff for the church, every church function our group was involved in had the terrible shitty pink things that nobody took (as well as orange Creams - Vile!). so why the hell does every
church fayre / bazaar / jumble sale have these hades based snack?
However I think you need to put a little icon for Cream bicuits, Ie Gypsy Creams (what Richard Whitely from countdown keeps going on about) which are more a coffee biscuit than tea, a viable alternative to Malted milk or Morning Coffee bickies.
Does anyone know a spaniosh biscuit called "Marie Lu"? They're well nice, with a taste almost like custard! Wierd, but ultimately satisfying.
Good Biscuiting,
Glen

Nicey replies: Glen,
Someone out there has to like Nice biscuits, or they wouldn't make them, so we'll assume its you till I hear otherwise.
Thanks for the icon suggestion, it sounds sensible and well considered. |

I love your site, but noticed the absence of The Foxes all butter crunch which has superb dunking qualities. Dip it in half way and then whatch as the tea is drawn up through the biscuit flipping it in to the mouth just as it threatens to collapse in to mush.
makes rich teas pale into insignificance! |
Nicey replies: Thanks for that mail Lucy,
I have a lot of time for Foxes biscuits, and their leading role in crunch based biscuits. I'm sure we will be reviewing one or more of them in future. |
