Favourite Biscuit/biscuits

[ChrisHGTV]

I recognise Romany creams from England in the 70's, but can't remember the brand.

That said, I lived in South Africa for a while, so I "may" be remembering them from there.

Yes these are the only ones i have found - but the UK ones i'm sure were in a cylindrical packet. Seem to be the same kind of biscuit though, however the ones i remember were almost black in colour. I thought they were made by Fox's but can't find any details at all. I might try some of the SA ones just to see. Always like a bit of research!

Anything lathered in chocolate will do me. As a wee boy, I remember my mother buying broken Gray Dunn Hampden Wafers.

Plain chocolate - oooh - after half a dozen, got heartburn something terrible!

If you like slathered dark chocolate you can't go wrong with Chocolate Olivers, though they're a bit pricy. My Dad loves them so i sometimes pick him some up from Fortnum and Mason as a treat when i'm in town.

Best biscuit ? To quote Bill Bryson: "The British Masterpiece."

Rumour has it that John Lennon once refused to be paid in cash, preferring Chocolate Olivers instead.

Being a builder I’m lucky enough to be offered a mahoooosive range of biscuits my my customers. I must admit I’m yet to find one I don’t like.

however, a plain Jane Rich Tea with a brew is awesome. How long do you dare dunk before it looses enough integrity to be lifted out of the hot tea??? Dunkin Roulette.

Tesco’s Finest choc chip cookies are immense too. So dang good they come in a box.

Dunking wise those Maryland cookies are good with a coffee, when they get to 100% saturation and the choccy chunks start to melt. Agree though, I’ve yet to find a biscuit I don’t like. Even those hideous luminous party rings have a place.

SheWhoMustDriveHerMx5 has confirmed that she knew Romany Creams in the UK in the 1970's. When tested, she got the colour of the biscuit right, so she can't be bluffing. (This time)

M & S pistachio and almond cookies, very crunchy , very nice but if I am honest I prefer Bourbon biscuits

 

[Gollom]

Aldi sell one called Oaties - v.nice


Ah, broken biscuits. If I remember on our local market it was 6d for plan and 9d for fancies/choc

ISTR some years ago that Hob Nobs were closely associated with W124 servicing.

Memories! Wonder how Mr. Walker is doing nowadays

Back in the early 50's I can remember my Mother buying broken biscuits by the 1lb. (Am I showing my age?)
My present favourite is a Lotus Biscoff with a freshly rewed coffee.

Same. I get 2 of them with a Nespresso from Mrs Ant on my return home from work. My little treat

Broken biscuits, bought by the shovel-full from the Home and Colonial, were a basic of my life in the early 60's.

OK, not with these clothes, but the frontage was pretty similar.

 

[Smart320]

I can remember starting work as a sales rep in the late 60's and calling on Home and Colonial stores in Liverpool. And the large tins of biscuits of various sorts and of course the tin of broken biscuits which was much reduced in price per lb , so of course I bought some on many occasions

 

[James Copeland]

I remember The Home and Colonial Stores where my mother used to buy butter from them. I can rember they used to 'pat' the butter into blocks and wrap in greasproof paper/
I can also remember my mother's co op divi number 723577.
