I'm a chocolate chip cookie fan, but very partial to digestives dunked in my tea. :)

Chocolate Hobnobs are great for a dunk too, but not keen on the plain.(y)


What say ye biscuit lovers?


Here's the top biscuits in the UK apparently:

Chocolate Digestive
It’s our biggest-selling biscuit by a mile, and as a nation we eat 52 of them every second. The Chocolate Digestive is the chocolate biscuit which all others look to. The dark chocolate ones have their own band of fiercely loyal followers who pour scorn on the milk chocolate version, so watch out for that.

Hobnob
This oaty biscuit first hit British tins in the 1980s and shot to overnight success, rapidly becoming one of the nation’s favourites. Peter Kay’s famous Hobnob dunking routine has just added to its legendary status.

Custard Cream
The timeless Custard Cream, with its charming swirly-patterned top, has been with us since Victorian times but is still a huge favourite today. Split them apart to get at the cream or just pop them in them in whole.

Bourbon
A cocoa laden yin to the Custard Cream’s yang. With sleeker lines than its custardy friend it lends itself to dunking. Look for the regulation ten holes and those little grains of sugar baked into the top.

Tunnocks Wafer
Perhaps Scotland's most important export after North Sea oil. The distinctive red and gold wrapper and chewy caramel and chocolate wafer speak to us from simpler days gone by. The Tunnocks Chocolate Caramel Wafer, to give its proper name, proudly boasts that it sells four million a week.
Jaffa Cake
Strictly a cake rather than a biscuit, this is of little concern to the millions of us who regularly pop them in our trollies. Again a terrific one for either nibbling and dismantling into its parts or wading into quick fire.
Gingernut
A biscuit with a bit of fight in it, the gingernut is both spicy and hard. Tame them with a hot cuppa, but keep them separate from the other biscuits or they’ll turn gingery too!

Shortbread fingers
The refined choice for many, the shortbread finger likes to imagine itself nestled in the saucer of a bone china tea cup.. probably at a croquet match. Given the amount sold it’s a fair bet a good few of them meet their end in a mug of builders' tea too.
Fig Roll
Currently beset by a Turkish fig supply crisis, the fig roll is a bit of a one-off. Loved by most and loathed by some, it's one of the few biscuits to go hard when it turns stale.
Malted Milk
Very tasty, with bonus three dimensional cows on top. Careful nibbling can result in complete cow-ectomies.
 

Poll, Poll, Poll !

Ginger Nuts. Biscuit of choice at Whitebootman Lodge, ideal with a cup of tea. Can also be used as a weapon in the event of an intruder at home. I have some decorating our Christmas tree as well.
 

Hob nobs or ginger nuts, the later being the hard case of the biscuit world, take a bloody good dunking the old ginger nut whilst reminding you of our leader. Digestives and Rich Tea are mere whimps in comparrison
