Biscuiteers

No good if you are in NI. EU say we can’t send biscuits to them as they contain animal products - milk and fat!

Not a big biscuit fancier at all but, strangely enough, if Cafe Noir present themselves then I would demolish the whole packet. So pleased they're difficult to obtain now and ridiculously expensive if using mail order.

It sounds disgusting but on rare occasions I like butter on digestives.

I fantasise over two biscuit types of yesteryear.
The first was a Rondello, it was the size of a dustbin lid and you only got a few in a box.
The second was a digestive base with a caramac topping.
Oh the good old days?

I don’t remember either....how far back are we going 40’s?

I used to have to bring back Penguins from the UK for my boys when they were younger and still living at home. When did they stop making them?

Have they stopped making them?

A Scotsman I worked with used to give me his snack of rich tea biscuits sandwiched together with butter. Very nice actually although dd’s hate them.

Stop it! You’re making me hungry

I suppose the very first were gingersnaps which I made at home. my friend and I used to to bake batches at home on a Sunday, take them to school and sell them the next day.
JackyB they still make Penguins ++ and I still buy them and eat them. I first came across them at the tuck shop in college - that's when I started to put on weight.

ps it was only recently that I found out that the word 'biscuit' means twice (bis) cuit( cooked}. We didn't cook ours twice.

My grandma always had biscuits that looked like round langues de chat biscuits. I loved them but I can't remember their name and I haven't seen them for sale for many years.

I often wondered why as we don't usually bake ours twice but I did make almond biscuits with an Italian friend ages ago.

Each biscuit roll was baked, sliced and baked again.

Mary Berry's fork biscuits are incredibly easy but go very quickly!

So this thread started 2 weeks before biscuit day and was picked up again yesterday - over a week after it! Did anyone actually do anything in the day? I admit I completely forgot and only ate the same amount of bisbuits as I usually do!
