Title: The Mystery Biscuit
Post by: an0n on January 21, 2005, 10:34:12 pm
I just found a biscuit in my pocket.

I don't know where it came from.

It's a Rich Tea, so it's nothing sinister. Looks fairly fresh. No stains or marks. Smells good.

And it's not just in any pocket, it's in the left pocket of my dressing gown.

Very strange.

Carry on.

And I've already eaten in, but it's been replaced by another one in my right pocket, which for some reason I didn't think to check before now.

I think maybe they're spies.

I wouldn't have posted if it was a cookie or maybe a chocolate digestive - those ****ers are always up to something - but a mundane, run-of-the-biscuit-mill Rich Tea?

There's something afoot.

Rich Tea...****ing useless one dips.  Try and dip one in yer tea, and half falls off - you finish with a mushy crust on the bottom of the mug.

Now, a hob-nob - that's a proper dunking biscuit.  That's a mans dunking biscuit.

I wonder who will realise where I ripped that off from......
Title: The Mystery Biscuit
Post by: Flipside on January 22, 2005, 12:23:35 pm
LOL Hob Nobs with chocolate topping are good.

Butter Crunch are the bestest dunking biscuits, but they also can have a digestive-like ability to fall apart if you time things wrong :(

Ah, well you can't trust digestive biscuits anyways - they were developed as a cure for constipation.

Now, me, I like to go for the exotic options; chunky Kit-Kats are good for black coffee, and choc-chip cookies (the proper soft ones, not that hard ****e) are also useful.  Custard creams are surprisingly good, too; although I've not tried the bourbon variety.

Or, in fact, wagon wheels.  I think Wagon Wheels are work investiagting, provided yu can get them in the cup.

I do know of one person who used to dip buttered toast in their tea, though..........

Noo....biscuit!=cookie

Cookie = particular type of biscuit (specifically, a fairly soft one with chips of stuff in it)

For example, a custard cream is not a cookie (many, many reasons why).  A digestive isn't (not crumbly or chippy).  Neither is a hob-nob.

Oh, and it's English muffin; biscuit; dress or gown; dressing gown

(dressing gown being the garment you put on before dressing)

DG, those are biscuits. If it's flat and sweet it's a cookie. If it's puffy and designed to go well with butter it's a biscuit. I don't know how to classify those rich tea things. They look like weak cookies to me.

Indeed. Biscuits.

Origins...
Biscuit = Middle English bisquit, from Old French biscuit, from Medieval Latin bis coctus.

Cookie = Dutch koekje, diminutive of koek, cake, from Middle Dutch koeke.
