Jeremy Corbyn's favourite biscuit

Shortbread is too posh for a man of the people - he should have a Rich Tea!

I'd give him a dog biscuit and I wouldn't dream of saying hope he chokes that would be cruel and unfair.

How can something forced on one be a pleasure .

Don't think I should have asked the above question

And the other chap likes Garibaldi.

Never trust anyone who doesn't enjoy a biscuit!

What other chap .riverwalk?

He makes jam ergo he is not totally anti-sugar.

Why have they had Jeremy Corbyn on Mumsnet without inviting Gransnetters to join in?

"Forced" in this instance probably means that old fashioned thing, politeness.

I knew I would have something in common with Mr Corbyn. Shortbread biscuits - mmm.

Anniebach!

Jingle I felt a plonker when I realised

Apparently you can make sugarless jam, but although you can artificially thicken it to give it some body,it would be imo bitter and have an acquired taste! Perhaps appropriate?!!!

This man seems very reluctant to give a personal view on anything - even a biscuit! Remember his claim to have no idea who Ant and Dec were? He claims to represent ordinary people and yet declines to say anything that would make him seem like one of the hoi-polloi, as if that's beneath him. I think he's shifty and cannot for the life of me understand his popularity.

Did they have McDonell there as well?! (*riverwalk*)

( riverwalk )

Where?

niggly,

An American friend gave me the recipe for freezer jam years ago. You do add sugar but far less than usual, which is why it has to be kept in small batches in the freezer. Made with strawberries it was absolutely delicious though.

Surely he didn't need McDonald with him? Does he go to the loo with him

I think stating that one is "totally anti-sugar" is very much a virtue signal: a "see how good I am!" comment. Very daft and trendy battish.

He wouldn't have needed McDonnell because the questions were all submitted in advance - he wasn't put on the spot.

I agree with you, thatbags, especially as fruit is packed full of sugar.

Riverwalk you mentioned "the other chap".

Owen Smith - I honestly couldn't think of his name, doesn't make much of an impact.

It was mentioned somewhere online this morning that he likes Garibaldi!

Oh right thatbags. I found a recipe for blackberry jam, without any added sugar! No idea of the taste, but it didn't sound as if it would be very nice!

The biscuit or the politician?
