[Closed] Disappointing biscuits

Pink wafers 👿

I'm sure some of my relatives hunt out the Peak Freenes "Slightly Dissapointing Chrimstmas Assortment" each year which contains biscuits carefully designed to taste much blander than they look.

+1 wwaswas, and after a day or two the Lemony Cream thing's flavour/odour just permeates everything else in there.

"Nice" biscuits - never has a biscuit been so oversold

Hob Nobs, but without choc on.

END
OF
THREAD.

Thats a tragic heart wrenching story, I feel your pain brother.... 🙁

+1 for Nice but Rich Teas really take the biscuit.

All biscuits are ultimately disappointing, being neither a pie nor a packet of crisps

Well for starters, the (buttery) biscuit base has lost some of that good old digestive texture

A buttery biscuit base, you say....

@binners - love that vid - seen it a few times and always makes me smile.

Does strike me that some people have far too much time on their hands though.

As for disappointing biscuits - when someone offers you a chocolate digestive and then you realise they've bought the dark chocolate ones...

Add to that

When someone gives you a choc digestive , and on biting in you realise it's not mcvities.

I'm not a brand whore usually, but I make an exception here

Bourbons and custard creams....

Meh.

The American sort. When will they learn.

I was just scrolling down to add a link to that! 🙂

binners, phil.w - played for and got! 😉

@dannybgoode, you are so wrong there. Dark chocolate is the only way to go - the milk chocolate digestive tastes of sugar and not much else. Disgusting.

Bring back the [url= http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuits/previous.php3?item=1 ]Abbey Crunch![/url]

Don't start fighting now OWG - I am in a bad mood as it is.

You are wrong and that is all there is to it... 😉

Another one for Bourbons - minging things they are.

'Penguins' are crap n all.

Have to open the thread back up tho wwaswas, non-choc hob-nobs are still quality biscuits. 😉

In contrast to rubbish biscuits the ultimate biscuit has to be TUC sandwich.

onewheelgood - Abbey Crunch were great biscuits.

My wife bought a pack of Oreo a couple of weeks ago. I explained that a divorce was inevitable if she ever brought such crap into the house again.

Standard mcvities milk chocolate biccies are my no. 1.

the ultimate biscuit has to be TUC sandwich.

That, sir, is a cracker. NOT a biscuit. FACT!

ETA - PMK2060 - with you on Oreos. I tried them as I wondered what all the fuss is about. Still wondering.

Milk chocolate on a biscuit is the devils food. Only dark chocolate shluld be used on any thing. That is a scientific fact.

I'm still searching for the Ultimate Biscuit 🙂

A marshal was handing out Bourbons at the top of the grassy climb just before the Red Bull section at Mayhem on Sunday morning. Stupidly, I took one, and got a really slow time on the section as I was totally preoccupied with trying to consume the horribly dry biscuit.
Still, nice gesture, just wrong biscuit.

That, sir, is a cracker. NOT a biscuit. FACT!

Biscuit...or a biscuit sandwich even!

Oatcake type biccies are my favourites

Oh, and ginger thins 😛

sicklilpuppy speaks the truth

My wife bought a pack of Oreo a couple of weeks ago. I explained that a divorce was inevitable if she ever brought such crap into the house again.

For a nation that consumes so much snack food, the Americans have some bizarre tastes. Oreos seem to be a national sensation, and they're one of the most insipid excuses for a biscuit I've ever come across.

I've never got Jammy Dodgers. Seem too dry, but with a cement like interior designed to stick the dryness to your mouth. euch.

I'm sure you could sue McVities for slander

More chocloate, is there ****! Still they are the ultimate go to biscuit.

As for dark chocolate only, OUTSIDE NOW!

Aha - the truth of the slow laps is out.

Last year it was someone taking photos at sunset. This year it's a team member having afternoon tea halfway round a lap.

IT'S A RACE !

🙂

Just about anything gluten free. When I sliced my hand up, I got to spend about 5 hours in A&E on a saturday night. My only source of amusement was to hand out gluten free choc chip and digestive biscuits to the unsuspecting public and watch their faces.

at christmas i'm sure we tried M&S extremely chocolaty varieties, and my they were good, especially dunked and held in tea.

I love a chocolate biscuit but I think it's possible to have too much chocolate. Those Fox's ones for example are lovely

are just a little too much

Most disappointing?

Well, it would have to be the time I was in my local club back in 1992. Bloke offered me "biscuits" and then wanted fifteen quid for one.

They weren't even jammy dodgers!

@DR it was elevenses. And I didn't stop, either to pick up the biscuit, or to consume it. But it did distract me a bit, so was probably a tactical error.

You can't call "Nice" biscuits dissapointing. They look rubbish, so the fact they tast rubbish fully meets expectations.

Opposite of disappointing: [img] [/img]

Bourbons are one of the major royalty of biscuits - FACT.

It's all about the boasters choc chip/hazelnut.

Bourbons

Never as tasty as you expect them to be.

Rich tea are a bland disappointing excuse for a biscuit.
