Lincoln biscuits

[Hot Flatus]

You'd forgotten all about them, hadn't you.

[Feline]

Yes, and now I want some grrrrr.
Did anyone else use to gnaw the knobbly bits off the top with their teeth before they ate the rest or am I just weird?

It's quaint when Leftpondians make biscuits and name them after Presidents. Apparently the Reagan is like gingerbread men but soft in the head.

Erm...

[Wowbagger]

In my youth they were called "Lincoln Creams" and I was indignant that they had nothing in them remotely like cream. Custard creams, on the other hand, could be relied upon 100%.

What's 'rich' about Rich Tea? Pauper's biscuit if ever I saw one...
(I know Matza - flour + water + 0 is the bread of affliction but it has more character...)

No, you're not. I used to break one in half, rub one half against the other to create lots of crumbs
and then suck them up, like a vacuum cleaner.

Yes, but what did you do with the biscuits?

Like malted milk they stay in the bottom of the biscuit tin till all else is gone.

[Hot Flatus]

Fuck off! They're lush.

Almost as nice as...

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

Custard creams are the only biscuit I don't like. They're the Coldplay of biscuits.

Not sweet enough for me, I need all the help I can get.



I don't know why I'm tormenting myself, I'm eating low carb. No biscuits till I weigh less than 70kg- projected date for that is about 10 minutes before hell freezes over.

...I'm eating low carb. No biscuits ....

Don't be doing that What doctors wont do

Seems this week's BMJ contains several articles suggesting sugar is the real dietary bugbear, rather than fat.

I reckon a combination of sugar and fat seduces people into eating excessively.
For example, imagine dry toast. How much will you eat if you're hungry? One slice?
Now, add butter and jam; easy to eat two slices and the spreads contain more calories than the toast...

FWIW I am eating LESS fat and sugar, not none.

Next thing you'll be showing us your ginger knob.

Lincoln was the site of the Roman Empire's most northerly known vineyard, now revived near the cathedral, so I expect these biscuits should be good for alcoholic dunking.

[Tewdric]

If it's not a Tregroes waffle I'm not interested.

[Cudzoziemiec]

What happens if you eat Lincoln Biscuits while wearing a Norfolk jacket? Do you become flat?

[Charlotte]

Fuck off! They're lush.

Now now.  Play

On the general subject of biscuits, I  had a little ponder yesterday teatime.  Should I dunk my butter crunch and have a rich mouthful of tea n butter crunch, or should I eat it crunchy ...
I can never work out if I prefer malted milk (dunked) or digestives (dunked).  Digestives come in bigger packets. Rich tea are no use to dunk.
