Hello fellow lovers of Biscuits. I would just like to gauge what are peoples favourite biscuits. Although Jaffa Cakes are undoubtedly cakes they will be accepted because of their "biscuity" nature. More more detailed biscuit appreciation I recommend www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Many thanks Alan

Jaffa Cakes. Without a doubt.

But it's far too easy to eat the entire pack in an hour so I never buy them

Can't say biscuits do it for me, but a nice McVities Chocolate flapjack (or the Snickers kind) will do anytime

toffee pops - mmmmm
solves the whole problem of eating a whole packet in one sitting coz they're so thick, chewy and filling...but unresolves the problem by the biscuity part getting soft if left open for a few days, and they;re so nyummy that you dont really wanna stop...

I Prefer Jacobs Jaffa cakes ( softer base )

but That wouldnt stop me eating a pack of Mc Vities.

I would like to open a challenge to anyone that would accept .

Ill bet you cant eat a pack of Jaffacakes in 5 minutes

with nothing to drink

There is no prize...just Jaffa cake fun

Chocolate and Raisin Boasters are the daddy of the biscuit world.

The debate is whether to dunk in coffee or tea...
