How many biscuits?

Who's counting? Once the tub is empty then you might need to worry.

But with this cold weather you need the carbs!

I resist temptation by never buying snacks - just fruit and nuts (but no more than a small handful of almonds a day). No, I am not saintly, I just don't like sweet things like cake, biscuits, pastries or sweets. Now when it comes to fresh bread, or a baked potato with butter................

Bags!!! How do you get away with eating lots of biscuits, having two breakfasts, and generally not showing any concern that they will bunch up around your hips and bottom, AND being trim???

Which biscuits are the most more'ish? To me it's Hobnobs. Haven't ate one for years and daren't have them in the house [in fact daren't have any biscuits in the house]. I think even dog bicuits would call to me if I was having a bad attack of the munchies.

The only biscuits I like are ginger thins, and I can't find them in France! Funny, because they cook with ginger, but I have looked in lots of different supermarkets and never found a ginger biscuit. Perhaps I will bring a few packets back with me after Christmas.

DS1 used to eat Bonios when he was old enough to open the cupboard crimson.

I read one of those pseudo science articles recently. You know the sort that tell you how to make the perfect boiled egg and soldiers or that April 10th is the happiest day of the year. This one reckoned that the best biscuits for dunking in tea were the ones coated on one side only in chocolate. I think that is unspeakable as well potentially very messy. I think they even gave you the exact number of seconds for dunking. [yuk emoticon]

Disgusting habit!

Oi! Let's have less of the Biscuit Outrage, you nonbiscuitlikinggrans!

DS likes to bite off a bit of MY flapjack after it has been dipped in MY tea. Cupboard love. I only dipped it because his wee teeth mightn't have been strong enough to bite through it otherwise. {Don't tell your mum!}

I once found a custard cream at the bottom of my tea. Wasn't me.

NB Sense of humour alert!

It is a known fact that if a food item does not have the number of calories that it contains shown on it somewhere, it doesn't actually contain any. I have never seen a biscuit or a slice of cake for that matter that shows this information, QED

I have one square of very dark chocolate every night (medicinal, of course) and I dip it in my hot chocolate drink. So there.

That's OK Greatnan. No crumbs or disintegrating bits.

Sic biscuitus disintegrat (That's the way the cookie crumbles)

Nibbling some of the macaroon that granny23 gave me at Kelvingrove at the last Scottish meetup. Not dipping in my coffee.... yet.

PS Yum! and thank you, 23

I wouldn't dare risk having a tub of biscuits on my lap.

I try to avoid buying biscuits, as Mr P doesn't eat them (apart from an unfortunate incident a few weeks back when he had the temerity to eat my last 2 chocolate digestives. Let's just say that lessons have been learned) as I just cannot leave them alone once I start dunking.

I did some fairly in-depth research a few years ago, found that M&S all butter Dutch or Danish (can't remember which) biscuits were excellent dunked in amontillado sherry, milk is the perfect medium for Maryland cookies, and the dunking of Nice biscuits should not be attempted by anyone until they have proved that they can handle a digestive without the use of a safety spoon.

Have to 'fess up here that, when I was nobbut a lass, my dad and me used to have thick slices of buttered toast for breakfast, and dunked it in our tea!
It was scrummy (hides red face now)...

!

Here, they dunk greasy croissantes in their coffee. Yuk.

I used to love to dunk "stuck" biscuits in my tea, 2 Rich Teas stuck together with butter!

In Spain it's churros (straight 'doughnuts') dunked in chocolate. Delicious!
