How do you eat yours....?

I'm sick and tired of this wind, all I want to do is sit in and eat biscuits. My favourite way is, and always will be tea biscuits (McVities) dunked in black tea.

There is a surfeit of biscuits in this house.

My favourite way to eat them is quietly, behind a closed pantry door.

Must have tea with my biscuit/s or vice versa, can't have tea without a biscuit!!!

We're also on our last tin of Christmas sweets ( had about four to get through!!)

Gone with the idea that the quicker they're eaten, the quicker I can start trying to get rid of the spare bit poking over the top of my jeans!!!)

Good plan Spidey. No Head no Biscuits

I've never met a biscuit I didn't like.

I don't tend to dunk my biccies in my tea, but my favourite biccie of the moment is shortbread

Not any more

I tried dunking a croissant in coffee the other day........it was suitably vile.

Digestive in tea on the otherhand

. There is an optimum dunking time however, and for digestives the window of opportunity is narrow indeed.......

I remember when I was at Guide camp (a few years ago now) we used to dunk our digestive biscuits in our orange juice which we always got for elevenses

Nothing worse than half a digestive at the bottom of your mug

...........exept for the other half when you try to retrieve the first half with it.

Shortbread was a favourite of mine until I bid successfully for a ears supply of Walkers Shortbread - not thinking I would win. The first month was great, the second good and by the third month we were sickened by it. 12 months and one stone later, I had learned my lesson.

I'm not surprised if you were sticking them in your ear

To refer to the first item on this thread - I had no idea eating biscuits was a cure for wind!!! I will remember this information the morning after a night on the guinness. Thanks Scoop. I prefer cheese to biscuits and I like dunking a nice piece of mature cheddar in my beer.

You could change your user name to Gale

Speaking of biscuits, has anyone tried the new Caramac Kitkats...very lovely even without dunking

I got nice biscuits at christmas time which were lemon biscuits dipped in white choc - yum - from Kitcheners too.

Denise · Post by **Denise** » 18 Jan 2007, 09:57

Kitcheners have Adamson's Pittenweem oatcakes (YUM!) hand made chunky and messy.

not particularly good for dunking except in broth perhaps (good weather for broth)
