Hey Alanna - many years ago, when the Maryland Chocolate Chip cookies first arrived in the UK, they were much bigger, much more 'rugged' and were almost kind of dome-shaped. Sadly, I think they have been a victim of the insidious trend for making the product smaller/less substantial while maintaining the same price. Oh, and I can totally vouch for your sponsor - I've slept on an Emma mattress for the last couple of years and it is AMAZING.

I think the size of things altered when our then EU masters started meddling with product sizes and names we had known for decades. It was responsible for a lot of things changing, including area specific identification like, Sherry became Fortified Wine if not made there, Cornish Pasties and Melton Mowbray pork pies were some of many forced changes. Cutting back on size just made people buy even more, so defeating the objective.

@@brianwhittington5086 Nice try, but nothing to do with the EU at all. More to do with retaining the same amount of profit for less product.

I believe it's contained within article 26 of the regulations to restric the production of area specific produce and where its ingredients are allowed to be sourced. The E mark is also used to denote that a product conforms to all the regulations on it's size, ingredients sourcing etc. It's not just food, many things fell foul of the dreaded E mark that covered products made in the EU, or imported into any EU trade area. Any restrictions on importing and using global commodities is to control taxation tariffs.

I have to say, we do biscuits very, VERY well in this country. I would happily eat every single one of the ones you tried. - Chocolate HobNobs are loved by everybody. They weren't around when I was growing up, but they just work - have never tried the Biscoff creams, but will deffo give them a go - Custard Creams are so sweet, but they are also SO nostalgic that I still love them - those raspberry cream ones are delicious. I prefer Happy Faces, which are similar, but have cream and jam! - Jaffa Cakes are a cake, because as they age, they dry out and become like rock (just like any other cake). When biscuits age, they go soft - glad your partner corrected you on the pronunciation of Nice biscuits! - the only classic one you didn't try was Rich Tea biscuits, but on their own without a cuppa they are dry as hell - my favourite-ever biscuit (which you can't buy anymore) were Gypsy Creams. They were like Bourbons crossed with the Fox Crunch Creams - rich but not sickly, bags of flavour, delicious!

Oh! Sorry for the second comment, but Biscoff is Belgian, not British. We have a bit of an addiction to them here (and they're accidentally vegan, so the British vegan community went NUTS for them when they first came out over here about a decade ago). If you mix the Biscoff spread with vanilla buttercream icing and whack it in the freezer overnight, you can chop it into slices and it's a delicious quick and easy dessert. Although it is VERY sweet so I've only ever been able to eat tiny slices of it. My friend does the same with peanut butter instead of biscoff, and you can also chop up chocolate bars or whatever and mix it in. The Caramilk bar works well for it. Num num num.

A couple of years or so ago, McVities used to sell Jaffa Cakes with 12 cakes in a box, then it went down to 11 and now it's down to 10 cakes in a box. What's more, the price is somewhere in the region of around £1.20. ASDA brand is around the 80p mark - and there are still 12 cakes in the box.

There is a proper and safe way to dunk a biscuit and safely bring to the mouth. I’ve noticed you dunk and then lift it up flat side down. Like this 🫓 the weight with the tea in is now pulling down and sure eggs is egg the biscuit will break with the weight in the middle and flop (note the description flop) straight into your tea mug, it’ll splash and you sit there bereft of your full portion of biscuit!!! The approved method of doing the lifting of the biscuit is instead of flat to the table hold it as if you have a wheel in your fingers and rotate it to the upright and carefully move it to the mouth and let the biscuit flop onto the tongue. Easy cream and you’ll have less flops to the mug or table, or with a bigger biscuit - over your hand hitting your sleeve and one half on your trousers and half on the carpet, don’t move you’ll grind it into your carpet Cheers Alana with this safe knowledge happy dunking Hang on you like dunking in bed and I bet you’re over due a big “Flop” on yer pillow.

I agree. Plain digestive are a tad bland but I love them with either cheese spread on ,or real peanut butter ( not the cheap stuff with palm oil in)

I'm a Biscoff addict and this evening have polished off a whole tube of the sandwich creams. I'll need to take a 20 mile run tomorrow morning to work off my sugar belly

One more comment, Alanna: if you're a biscuit fan, you _have to_ go on a weekend trip to Holland to try their cookies (Dutch: _koekje,_ which I think is where American cookies get their name). They as very different to British biscuits, but amazing! Buy a couple of bagfuls to bring home and also try some fresh _koekjes_ in bakeries too.

My fav is a fox's butter crinkle crunch. So good. Also can't beat a rocky bar.

The fox's jam and cream are lovely and at 79p a packet in sainsburys very affordable if you eat them all very quickly 😂

Hobnobs are much more recent than many people think. McVitie's launched Hobnobs in 1985 and a milk chocolate variant in 1987.

If it's got chocolate chips in it then it's still called a cookie in the UK because we're weirdly arbitrary in our naming conventions. :D

Oooo !, a bit of a biscuit feast this week Alanna , love it. In my opinion a biscuit that makes a good "Dunker" is always a good choice and any biscuit with a filling is great, that is as long as it's not one of your own that has fallen out bit into it. When it comes to Jaffa cakes I agree with you, they just need to be left in the box. ☕🍪😊

Hobnobs - they are the special forces of dunkable biscuits, they never quit, they dissolve and fall into your tea....

Favourite biscuit: a savoury one, Bath Oliver. With a smear of butter, and a really good cheese.

When I first started working in The Nessie Shop, in Drumnadrochit, Scotland, I was told that the best shortbread is Walkers....always check for a high butter content.

Jaffa Cakes, the orange and chocolate just fit together so well. You have to try Terry’s Chocolate Orange, there so good.
