what I have learned today.

[campagman]

That young Swifts don't land until they first mate, aged 4. So the first 3 years when they are constantly flying includes a 14000 mile annual trip to Africa and back.

why bother unwrapping it, save yourselves 30 seconds for more choclolate

I don't really like chocolate. I'd rather have a sausage roll. Which is unfortunate, as I don't eat pigs either. I'd like to eat them, but we're in a period of dispute and it seems the pigs don't agree.

In order to enjoy a bar of Dairy Milk at its very best, open at either end. It doesn't matter which. Then throw it away and have some decent chocolate.

Wot he said.

I'll happily take care of any BRITISH chocolate rejected by the chocolate snobs.

This ^^^^.  I accidentally bought plain chocolate digestives last week

Put them in the post, most welcome at ED mansions

One of my fecking-div moments happened years ago when I asked a friend visiting from the UK to bring some rich tea biscuits with her.  As soon as I saw them I realized I had meant digestives.

Oh dear. Even plain chocolate digestives are preferable to rich tea.

My favourite chocolate is probably the chunky stuff with nuts in from Lidl (I typoed that as "with "huts in" which would be... ambitious. Chocolate in huts makes far more sense than huts in chocolate.)

Suspicious that rich tea biscuits [Notable for being neither rich, nor tea flavoured - Ed] are one of those bland foods designed to stop people masturbating.

[ElyDave]

So far I know of only two people who remember dark chocolate rich tea, which, alongside garibaldi and ginger nut are the uber biscuits

[Mr Larrington]

Pish to thee, Sirrah!  Hobnobs are the One True Biscuit unless you want CHOKLIT on them.  In which case it's the CHOKLIT Hobnob.  Savoury biscuit?  Hobnob with a piece of cheese.

The mechanics of that are giving me a brain hernia with a touch of "ooo narsty".

---o0o---

In the midst of all this biscuitry I have to admit a penchant for chocolate chip cookies as my favourite accompaniment for coffee before the last 25k of a ride.  And I must confess that I have made them at home in a fit of pissed-offedness with the wretched impositions of a diabetic diet. Doc doesn't like me drinking coffee either, the cnut.

Hmph. Now I'm feeling a bit pissed off...

What of the Stroopwafel, from ABROAD where the FOREIGNS come from?

They are an acceptable substitute, though Mr Sainsbury’s House of Toothy Comestibles puts them in a different aisle from the biscuits.  He obviously thinks they are some variety of CAEK.

[Cudzoziemiec]

Garibaldi and ginger nut are both very good, but I don't think any amount of chocolate could rescue a rich tea.

[Mrs Pingu]

Gosh, I'd totally forgotten about Stroopwafels, the joys of Schipol airport having been consigned to the pandemic dustbin of history.
 

Bet there aren't any in our Sainsbo's either.

[bhoot]

Our small local co-op has them, but grouped with cake.

Tey are listed within 'Bakery' by Sainsbury's online, which corroborates the CAEK mindset.

[Canardly]

Lidl sell 'em......... In the bakery section.

[Kim]

Makes sense. Stroopwafel is Dutch for 'bakery floor sweepings' isn't it?

Going to Baarle Nassau for stroopwafels and Baarle Hertog for beer. Enclaving and exclaving all over the place
