Gaaahhhh!! A Jaffa Cake isn't a biscuit, they had a court case to prove it so it doesn't pay VAT!!

We were well aware of the controversy our decision (after much to-ing and fro-ing, I might add) to include the Jaffa Cake would court. However, it must remain in the poll since it's favoured by the man whose name rhymes with Partin Moois...

[Princess Coupon]

if it's not a biscuit what did the court decide it was cake?

Wheres the famous twinks' hobnob

[jo132000]

Oooooh that's a tough one cause two of my favourites are up there Hobnob's and Oreos...but I think the hobnob wins!

[TomJ]

I've had to vote HobNob as it would be wrong to vote for a cake as my fave biscuit. For those interested in all things biscuity may I recommend Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down?

I voted for HobNobs too although, since giving up wheat, I can no longer enjoy them. In fact, my all time favourite is probably Abbey Crunch but I'm not sure you can still get them.

Amazingly, hobnobs are in the lead at the moment. I wonder how many people voting are voting for Twinks hobnobs? And are they our fave biscuit because they are so yummy or so easy or so quick or so MSE?

[Kaz2904]

Oh and has the man himself (who rhymes with Partin Moois) ever tried a Twinks hobnob?

[saveralot]

When stale, a cake goes hard, a biscuit goes soft ... not in my house lol! They all go too soon yum yum!

[crawley_girl]

What's a hit biscuit?

[Essenchill]

ditto - what IS a Hit Biscuit? (glad it's not just me crawley_girl!

[V_tricky]

Mmmm. I used to be partial to the McVitie's dark chocolate coated gingernuts - until they stopped making them

I also LOVE Anzac biscuits which are an absolute doddle to make at home, and I've normally got all the ingredients, and really cheap to buy from the supermarket too (and 4% of their sales goes to the British Legion to support & protect the interests, welfare and memory of British serving and ex-Service people and their dependants).

They make fantastic dunking biscuits.... mmm might pick some up tomorrow

[jillie1974]

can i say all of the above!!

[Mozette]

Oreos are vile and should not even be included in a list of biscuits. I've never tasted anything so artificial. Yuk yuk yuk!!!!!!

[Sharp_Eyes]

I'm partial to shortbread myself...Sainbury's makes a mean Oatflake Orange Cranberry biscuit in their So Organic range...mmmm

[mrsb2100]

I voted for a chocolate digestive ... but only a PLAIN choc digestive! Mmmm ...

They say plain choc's good for you, so clearly I'm looking after myself hahaha!

[always_saving]

Haven't had a chocolate Hobnob for years. Now seeing them on the list has awakened a hidden desire for one! Must resist temptation to go out and impulse buy - not very MSE.

[beautifulgorgeous]

I like the shortbread ones with currants in but they are not on the list.......I usually buy whatever is on bogof as my lot eat anything
