FORUM MEMBERS FAVORITE BISCUIT

Lisa Miles has suggested I should start this thread so this is it. So you have to state your preference and your technical reasoning.


For me it has to be a fig roll. My reasons are.


1. They are very tasty and nourishing.

2. They contain a high level of fruit so healthy eating as part of your 5 a day.

3. They have a very high structural integrity resilience post tea dipping.

4. They have a high level of crumb retention for munching over a key board.

  • Cornish wafers. Strictly a cracaker and Intended for cheese, but may buttered and patterned with raisins or quarters of apple. Or of course with cheese.

    When not in a hurry the making of smiley faces, transistor and diode  symbols etc in the currants is part of the enjoyment and can also be passed off as an educational activity for small children. (do LEDs taste better than thyristors ? ) Others may wish to use initials or perhaps symbols from another discipline.


    Why ? the delicate flaking and the bare biscuits are compatible with most household liquids and they have no melting, corrosive or sticking parts.  And they last for ages, as no-one else in the house seems to like them until the choccy ones have all gone.


    Second place from child hood would be those Peek Freans lemon puff things with the pinprick vents ( bakers call them "dockers" I think ?) in the biscuits to stabilise the puff pastry against over inflation leading to many little bubbles trapped grid-like similar to the quilting on a duvet, but they are no longer made since the early 1980s. But they are sticky, and as I recall sometimes come covered in a thin layer of school uniform coloured fluff, but that may be just the ones I had.
