Malted milk dipped on ovaltine or Horlicks. Absolutely lovely.

Almost as good as fig rolls.

Not had a fig roll in goodness knows how many years. Had forgotten about them. I used to like them on long bike rides.

Hobnobs… the marines of the biscuit world, according to Peter Kay.

Happy for you to take them on long bike rides, Hanneke. Just don't bring them back! :-D

I recall making a pudding in the 70's that was basically a packet of ginger biscuits sandwiched together with whipped cream. The biscuits softened into the cream and it was totally delicious. It probably laid down a whole lot of plaque in my arteries too.


The ginger biscuits were soaked in something alcoholic when mum used to make that, but I don’t know what because we weren’t allowed to taste it! Seeing as mum didn’t drink, I doubt she ate it either but it was standard dinner party fayre.

Ginger nuts, lemon puff or plain digestives for me please.

Only M&s chocolate biscuits taste like they used to, the chocolate on biscuits isn’t how it used to be

Skip did a dessert with Oreos and orange juice and whipped cream on cub camp as part of their cooks badge. I was a helper and tried some just to be polite but it worked very well and ended up eating a portion of it.
