In the interests of something or other, I'll divide the question into categories.

Plain biscuit
Chocolate biscuit
Wrapped chocolate biscuit
Savoury biscuit

To preempt any argument, Jaffa Cakes are cakes, not biscuits.

Plain biscuit - lemon puff
Chocolate biscuit - plain chocolate digestive
Wrapped chocolate biscuit - fruit Club
Savoury biscuit - Hovis

Plain Biscuit: Hobnobs
Chocolate Biscuit: Chocolate Hobnobs
Wrapped chocolate biscuit: Hobnob bars
Savoury Biscuit: Hobnobs with cheese

clarion · « **Reply #2 on:** 08 January, 2009, 09:01:13 pm »

Plain biscuit - Hobnobs (but Rich Tea are better for dunking)
Chocolate biscuit - Chocolate digestives
Wrapped chocolate biscuit - Hard to beat a simple Club, but it's been a while...
Savoury biscuit - Krackawheat (or however it's spelled)

This is helping my diet how exactly?

Plain biscuit - Bourbon creams
Chocolate biscuit - Plain chocolate Hob Nobs
Wrapped Chocolate biscuit - Caramel log
Savoury biscuit - Tuc savoury sandwich

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #4 on:** 08 January, 2009, 09:06:56 pm »

Oh, caramel logs. They're probably joint favourite with fruit Clubs. Oh, for an hour alone in the Tunnocks factory.

Bolton-Le-Moors is in the Pennines from the perspective of Farington Moss.

Plain biscuit - lemon puffs are a strong contender
Chocolate biscuit - plain digestives
Wrapped chocolate biscuits - clubs, I can eat a whole packet in under 3 minutes
Savoury - Cracked black pepper oatcakes, Douchy

andygates · « **Reply #10 on:** 08 January, 2009, 10:13:17 pm »

Ginger nut
Chocolate hobob
TUNNOCK'S CARAMEL WAFER! ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!
Nairn's rough oatcake

But I'm a right biccy tart. I don't think there's one I won't enjoy.

Plain biscuits - the Party Ring, every time.

Chocolate biscuit - McVities caramel digestives. They make your teeth hurt just looking at them.

Wrapped chocolate biscuit - Clubs.

Savoury - Ritz biscuit, preferably with humous.

And just where do Garibaldis fit into your scheme ?

I forgot about jammy dodgers, can I put them in my list? Much better if you pop them in whole and try not to chew.

Plain Biscuit: NICE
Chocolate Biscuit: Plain chocolate HobNob
Wrapped chocolate biscuit: Twix
Savoury Biscuit: Those Jacob's crackers that I like. The wholemeal(ish) ones.

LinzWakeley · « **Reply #20 on:** 09 January, 2009, 09:21:11 am »

PLAIN - I don't do plain

Chocolate - Chocolate fingers
Wrapped Biscuits - Twix
Savoury Biscuits - Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

ChrisO · « **Reply #21 on:** 09 January, 2009, 10:33:31 am »

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Chocolate Leibniz, preferably the dark variety.

But there's Tim Tams as well, which are widely accepted by theologians as proof that God loves Australians more than anyone else.

Where do Hazelnut Boasters fit into your world-scheme Kirst - are they plain biscuits which happen to have chocolate chunks and hazelnuts in them, or are they chocolate biscuits with plain bits ?

And fruity or filled biscuits ? I have a passion for Date Mamouls in Abu Dhabi, which are a little round pyramid shaped biscuit, filled with a date mixture, and the nicest ones have little bits of pistachio in the mix.

Wrapped - Kit Kat - that's a biscuit isn't it ?

Savoury - close between rough oatcakes and Jacob's wholemeal crackers.

Chocolate biscuit: Chocolate digestive
Wrapped biscuit: Tunnock's Caramel Wafer

Delicious plain biscuit with chocolate bits in. Bourbons are plain biscuits too.

JohnP · « **Reply #24 on:** 09 January, 2009, 01:08:47 pm »

not sure if they are really my favourites but I have just filled a tin with 4 varieties of Boasters - Cranberry & Almond, Dark Chocolate & Ginger, Belgian Chocolate Chunk, Belgian Chocolate & Hazelnut.

Tin is on my desk protected by

with hand out holding a label saying "keep out".
