Well despite the fact that my students think I'm past it, I'm pretty sure I'm not old yet so I'll stick to the fig rolls if that's ok!!
Mind you - they were my grandad's favourite biscuits and that's one of the reasons I love them so much......

From wikipedia
The custard cream is a popular biscuit in the United Kingdom. Its structure is that of a biscuit sandwich with a cream centre. Custard creams are usually of a yellowish colour. Contrary to its name, it does not taste like custard, it often tastes of vanilla. They also often have an elaborate baroque design stamped onto them. Some British supermarkets do variations on the custard cream. Examples include lemon, orange, coffee and coconut.
Like the American Oreo, the custard cream is often eaten by twisting the two biscuits apart and eating the centre first.
The gypsy cream is identical in construction but with a chocolate flavoured biscuit and cream. The bourbon biscuit is distinguished from the gypsy cream by being longer, and with a more brittle biscuit.DFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08
