Fresh hot sourdough biscuits out of the pan are unbeatable!

Tamsen's mom has an affinity for Mint Milanos, however!!

This is an astonishing coincidence but less than a quarter of an hour ago my daughter was telling me about how they have a `favourite biscuit` day each week at work!!!!!

Anyhow I would definitely concur with your choice of Plain Chocolate Hobnob (once saw a doumentary about the CEO of the Hobnob company - he eats A PACKET OF THEM each day!)

Huh? Jika likes jaffa? LOL!

I am so lost, this is obviously a British thread, but is a "biscuit" (in British speak) a potato chip, a biscuit (American - bread product), or a cookie?

So:

Lays potato chips

Sourdough biscuits

Homemade Chocolate Chip Tollhouse cookies.
