Dear Nicey,
Having established yourself as an oracle of biscuit-related information, I would love to hear your opinion on this matter of vital importance: when faced with a box of selected "biscuits for cheese", how does one differentiate between the biscuits and the crackers? Is there some officially designated definition? Certainly in my experience, crackers seem to be hard, brittle and full of large air pockets, while biscuits are crumblier, slightly more moist and denser. But where does this leave the enigmatically named "water biscuits"?
Yours expectantly |
Nicey replies: There is are two simple tests for crackers VS biscuits.
1) Would you dunk a load of them in your tea?
2) Would you eat them with cheese?
If the answer is NO to the first and YES to the second then they should be crackers.
If you want to think of Rich Tea biscuits as a dazzling spectrum of sumptuous flavours then simply eat a Water Biscuit before hand. |
