I think the English have mastered the Biscuit.

Can't argue with that. Evenm the cheap shop's own brand ginger
biscuits rock.
There are some flaws though, those weird tinned ones that look (and
taste)
like soem papery composite, and the ones with a blob of jam as tough
as Torrseal, those take careful suspension of disbelief (and a
friendly dentist
within easy reach too).


I think you mean 'Jammy Dodgers', dreadful things. Not to keen on
'Jaffa Cakes' either- too soft and glue like.

Fig Rolls are good. Someone I knew (not sure who it was) called them
'dead fly rolls' and I always chuckle when I have one.

Hovis do a digestive which go very well with cheese, I had a couple
last night at my club (a Trafalgar Night Dinner). Excellent with
glass of good port. Not always easy to find in the shops but the
large stores tend to stock them.


Ayton sandwich biscuit made in glasgow...the best...not seen one for
years...

Prairie Creams, from the same stable. Hampden wafers. Chocolate Viennas.
All gone. Sadly, it's what happens when bigger companies take over
smaller ones - the less profitable products get 'rationalised' out. Oh,
and Yo-Yos and Munchmallows. As kids, we used to try to smooth all the
wrinkles out of the silver paper wrappers.
