General YellowsForum’s favourite biscuit

[Yellow River]

They look repulsive and I'm sure half of this forum will agree with me.

The best way to start the day, I’m sure half of this forum will agree with me.

How can this be a serious poll with no lemon puffs?

How can this be a serious poll with no lemon puffs?

It's a fair point; they were on my long-list. Because of the limited number of choices I can use, I had to cull a few, and based on their now (and unfortunate) reduced availability, the proud Lemon Puff was chopped.

For the reason mentioned above, replace Jaffa Cakes with Lemon Puffs.

Chocolate fingers are far too chocolatey to be a biscuit, and far too biscuity to be a chocolate. Maybe the next poll can be between fingers, kit kats and twixs?

Wot! No Garibadi?

See post 23. The same applies.

The law is an ass.

I beg to differ. Cakes are VAT free. Chocolate covered biscuits, are not.

And if you've followed him on this site over the years you'll know NOBODY knows more about biscuits than @Manorlounger

(don't take his tax advice though)

I know.

Jaffa Cakes are in the biscuit section of a supermarket. That’s good enough for me.

The poor old Wagon Wheel does not even get a mention. Picked them up from Curran's Stores in Town Furze in the mid fifties. 3d. old money, about 2p today.

A similar standpoint was voiced in an advertising campaign of 2021. Having both qualities of cake and biscuit it was said that "it can be whatever it wants to be" That's good enough for me! However, Hobnobs are the go to dunkers - chocolate tends to melt.

Should the ‘wrapped’ biscuit poll go ahead, it will definitely be included.

I voted for subtlety, the Nice biscuit is economical and delicious, specially when consumed with a cup of milk-less tea.

That’s interesting that they go back that far,I think I first encountered them in the early 70s. Of course they were *massive* in those days.

Blimey that’s quite austere, are you going for a refined Japanese vibe?

 

[SteMerritt]

Hobnobs winning? Bloody hell, that's like selecting Martin Gray over Joey Beauchamp... Some people have no idea what an exciting biscuit looks like.
