How many custard cream biscuits can you eat in a row? i tested myself yesterday and ate 30, i could have managed more but the pack ran out, with a drop of water of course.

Cream crackers are the true test.

None, shagging waste of a biscuit is what those flavorless blocks are.

The modern Custard Cream is a fúcking disgusting abomination compared to the lovely biscuit that it once was.

(Pulls up trousers before continuing rant).

The Custard Cream biscuit of the 80's was a fine biscuit. A layer of yellow custardy goodness placed between two crunchy layers of biscuit. You'd serve it to neighbours, policemen or members of the clergy knowing well that they'd be glad to see them. Fine for dunking, or peeling off the top layer to eat the custard with your teeth.

The modern incarnation involves crumbly biscuit, an insipid filling that must be like eating a used bandage, and frowns of displeasure from any punter who is served some on a plate while drinking a mug of tea.

What I would like to know, is what kind of a mad mind
makes a very tasty biscuit out of mixing

Custard and Cream

Like many items of confectionary, I've found that getting them in Lidl or Aldi is a far wiser choice compared to the likes of Bolands.

The One Who Knocks · 12-03-2014 9:36pm

How many?

I said to my trainer "pass the custard creams"

"There are no more" he said.

That many.

Dunno, but can easily eat a pack of Jaffa cakes in one sitting.

Anyone remember the McVities limited edition flavours?

Would you believe I've yet to test myself with regard to how many custard creams I can eat in a row. What have I been thinking.

Are there any half decent modern ones?

Custard Creams are poor mans Milkados.

frozenfrozen · 12-03-2014 10:05pm

they're very crumbly these days almost too messy to eat if you're lying down

BillyMitchel · 12-03-2014 10:13pm

OP try eat a doughnut without licking your lips.

Holsten · 12-03-2014 10:15pm

If there is one biscuit that I really find disgusting it has to be Custard Creams... ugh!

WoollyRedHat · 12-03-2014 11:15pm

Custard Creams, I was an addict, I was going through a pack a day, or sometimes two if there was more. I couldn't help myself , I was a custard cream whore, they were my kryptonite, I had to cut it out, the doc said I could of died with all the creams, and that I could of lost my sight.

biketard · 13-03-2014 10:02am

I had to stop buying them cos I'd eat the whole packet as soon as I got back from the shops. Sometimes before I'd even put away the shopping.

Ihatecuddles · 13-03-2014 10:08am

I'd feel like vomiting after 4. They are so rich and filling!

Jaffa cakes, I could eat hundreds!

Plazaman · 13-03-2014 10:26am

Nothing tastes the same as it was years ago and my taste buds remain the same. However companies trying to reduce production costs and mad food regulations cutting out those wonder E additives and preservatives that would make you go blind in one ear are to blame. Gone are the Custard/Jersey/Bourbon Creams of old replaced with blandness that would make you prefer to lick a wet badger.

Thankfully US biscuit manufacturers aren't as bland orientated as European ones and I could eat the various kinds of Oreos (freely available this side of the pond) until I'm ready to burst and climb up on my motorised scooter to head to Mc Donalds.

The One Doctor · 13-03-2014 10:38am

The Aldi versions of all biscuits are far superior to the brand stuff. Sadly, Aldi has massively cut down on the amount of biscuit in their packs, by about 1/3 by my estimation.

Stereomaniac · 13-03-2014 11:04am

The Custard Cream, Tesco-version has made a comeback in my life this year. My friend always seems to have a couple of packs when I call to his house and we play some PlayStation.
