thanks

I am going through a massive dark chocolate digestive phase. Last Friday night, after the Pobpah show, everyone went and bought booze from the shop and I bought a packet of digestives. That's how close we are right now.
I am very fond also of a Greek brand of biscuits called Papadopoulos, especially the ones filled with banana flavour cream. It sounds disgusting but now my brother works for them and he tells me they are using really good ingredients, so it's all systems go. You can buy them on Amazon in the US, bizarrely.

And all this time I thought y'all were eating little oval wood pieces used to hold furniture together and I'd often think to myself, "Those fools! They're missing out on far more delicious snacks like cookies."linus wrote:in american biscuits are known as cookies

Panic is gripping the UK as the national fig roll shortage starts to bite!

Re: take the biscuit (and celebrate it here)
Are the corners of fig rolls kind of sharp or is that my fevered half-forgotten imaginings? I think they're a little sharp.

Some of them are. The badly designed ones, probably produced in Hertfordshire. But the proper ones aren't.gloom button wrote:Are the corners of fig rolls kind of sharp or is that my fevered half-forgotten imaginings? I think they're a little sharp.

I think I'm sticking with custard creams, though these promised-land fig rolls are intriguing.humblebee wrote: Some of them are. The badly designed ones, probably produced in Hertfordshire. But the proper ones aren't.

Re: take the biscuit (and celebrate it here)
I hadn't even thought about fig rolls for ages until I read that there was a shortage of them. And now I've actually thought about them, I could flipping murder one. Except I can't, cos there's a shortage of them.
It's like a symbol of my whole stupid life!

Re: take the biscuit (and celebrate it here)
The best biscuit in recent memory, has been, for me, Marks and Spencers extremely chocolatey biscuit rounds (at least I think that's what they're called). There is a tiny donut shaped biscuit in the centre - just enough to give a crisp texture - coated - well not really coated, more entombed, in the thickest slab of tasty milk choc I've ever had the good fortune of encountering in a biscuit scenario.
