Crawfie Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) After receiving ....ahem...a hammering about my comments about the apparently "brilliant " Sturgeon and her discredited finance minister by the really brave keyboard warrior .....( and the other hammering about my list of does and donts for having a happy marriage ....which i have , and the list was no worse that what comedians joke about on the telly etc .....by another brave forum person ) .....I've decided to really go for the "jugular " this time.... Hoping the mods are ready for all the complaints.... Here we go.. The best biscuit on the planet is the LIDL choccie oatie . There I've said it. Recently discovered by myself ..it is without doubt a fantastic product . Edited April 26, 2020 by Crawfie Addition to text Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Mushroom fodder, Scottish shortbread the buttery biscuit solid as you bite into it, then the crumble before it melts in your mouth. If you lightly dunk it, that is whole different experience as it absorbs the liquid without disintegration into the bottom of your cup. Mmmm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Nonsense. Garibaldi. Has to be. It’s dunkable and provides one of your five a day. Edited April 26, 2020 by peejay4A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Dead fly biscuits? No thanks. I'm with Derek for shortbread, or maybe plain digestives (but only the McVities originals - the own brand ones are too sweet). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 No you're talking rubbish Milk Ballsen Choco Liebniz kept in the fridge so you can nibble the chocolate edges off first with a Mcvitie Milk chocolate digestive a close second Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hob Nobs! They are the Marines of biscuits, dunk then for days, they don't go soggy! John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah......John.. LIDLS do a non choccie oatie called Oaties (that's a surprise !!) which is similar the the Hib Nob....but better . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 No, no Hob nobs are the 'It' of biscuits, end of! John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 As Crawfie suggested and Also at the risk of being red marked I will venture an opinion. it has to be the original the McVitie’s milk chocolate digestive. yes there is a certain skill in dunking them. (This should only be in hot chocolate tho!) but I find practice and technique is the answer. the more robust hobnob is ideal for the ammeter/ novice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barkerwilliams Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 "Milk Ballsen Choco Liebniz" Aren't they foreign (gasp) biscuits? Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Chocolate on a digestive with Stilton and port?. Individually yes Stilton with port yes but on a chocolate biscuit. Firstly chocolate should be savoured allowed to melt in between the roof of your mouth and your tongue. As should Stilton that’s why you place it on a dry biscuit so it doesn’t detract, not stick it on a semi sweet biscuit let alone one smothered in chocolate even dark chocolate, while swilling it down with a glass of port, not sure heavenly comes to mind. Mick If you must have chocolate with alcohol dip a strawberry into melted chocolate dark preferably and partake in a glass of extra dry champagne. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry Pete but I have to take you task on this....... Biscuits are the cornerstone of civilisation. Life would be untolerable without a biccie of some sort. I know the sickos in here munch on lesser quality products ......but it is still a biccie. Await the emperors signal of a "thumbs down" !!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim, I know LIDLs is in the States....but not sure about Canada. The chocolate oaties in our LIDLs are , in my opinion ,better than McVs. Worth a look ...if you have a store.

TorontoTim Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks - I can track them down from time to time (in "British" shops) but I try not to do it too often because then I'll eat them... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I’m not fussy, particularly when choices on the shop-shelves may be limited - any biscuits will do for me ......... Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
