We're voting for Plain Chocolate Hobnobs, but what about you? The plain bit's important, btw, milk choccy ones are okay, but the plain chocolate variety are the conoisseur's choice and that's a fact(ish).

It all depends on your priorities.

Obviously taste is the main factor, but what about robustness, dunkability and availablity?

For instance, rich teas and digestives sustain terminal damage fairly easily compared to say, bourbons, custard creams, fig rolls etc.

Its not just a simple case of whats your fave bisuit, oh no.

We HAVE tried to come up with a definitive top ten here at work, but we started squabbling over what position the sponge finger should occupy, and it all degenerated to name calling and an elastic band fight. So we stopped.

So who clicked the link then?


Jon, what is "tean"? Or was it "tea nand a sit down"?


Just incase you can't work out what I'm saying, there's a spelling mistake in the link (of all the places to do it!!!). It just requires an "n" to be deleted though.

Ooops, fixed the link, I think... You just can't get the staff these days, biccies or no biccies. Don't eat Peruvian biscuits whatever you do, Chilean is the way to go.

Sweet tea rocks.

Not sure about madness but the anguish of seeing the last richt tea plop into you cuppaand then the fustration of fishing it back out (suppose that could drive you mad!)

Anyone tried BEN's, only ever seen them in France. BENs and chocolate milk - happy days :-)

When I used to eat chocolate I did a form of dunking with Cadbury's Fingers. You have to bit a little off each end then suck tea up through the biscuit until you just taste the tea. You then throw your head back and eat the soggy finger in one mouthful.

It's best to refrigerate the Fingers first!

Jex?

John, if you suck hard enough (oh er missus) does the soggy biscuit get sucked up leaving you with a chocolate outer? Just a thought.
