Are Rich Tea biscuits similar to those Nice ones? They’re just baby cookies for adults. Not as sweet, and the mix isn't as short. They're quite dry: you really need a drink with them. Dunked in something good, they are quite nice, comforting

Eating plain chocolate when there's the milk variety around is like choosing to sit on the floor when you go to the cinema. OOO I'M HARD AS FUCK ME LIKE

Choco Leibniz. Yeah, they're good but they are no plain chocolate digestive which is truly the King of Biscuits (mid tier? Really Queen?). Dark chocolate digestives deserve to be up in the god tier with Choco Leibniz. Milk chocolate digestives belong in the bin

Modified cow sweat ruins the taste of chocolate as much as it does tea or coffee

Dark chocolate digestives deserve to be up in the god tier with Choco Leibniz. Milk chocolate digestives belong in the bin I find them...cloying. You need dark chocolate on biscuits....that bitter richness. This reminds me. After 5 months travelling round India I arrived in Kathmandu. There's a part of the city where all the trekking types stay so it's quite westernised and you have supermarkets with western food etc. Imagine my delight when after 5 months in Mother India I came across a pack of plain chocolate digestives in a Kathmandu supermarket. Suffice to say, one bowl of hash later....GREATEST BISCUIT EVER. I ate the whole pack. Of course the next day I ended up with gastroenteritis which was made more uncomfortable by the fact that I had booked a room with a shared toilet. yeah, I know. You can take the boy out of Aberdeen..... the next few days were....unpleasant.

There is some peak level JC anti-poshness on this thread.
When it comes to defending Oreos and deriding dark chocolate, however, it's gone too far.
Glad to see common sense has gotten the upper hand here.
The Choco Leibniz look pretty close to the ones I posted up top. And that is definitely top tier.

I'm a fan of these too Not bad at all, although I tend to find the bake is a bit soft, almost cookie-like. I've had one or two posh bake versions that are more like a classic ginger nut robed in dark chocolate that have ruined me for anything else. Which reminds me, I just love the snap and crunch and warm hit of a ginger nut. When I was a kid and at home on my own, aged eight or so, in school holidays, I would take thin slices of cold butter and place them on top of a ginger nut and glory in the contrasts of the cool, unctuous meltiness of the butter with the spice and crunch and sugar hit of the biscuit. It was the beginning of my celebrated culinary career

I remember Jay-Z getting so upset about his biscuit problem that he even recorded a track about it.
He had 99 bourbons, but his rich tea's gone.
Sorry, do carry on.

Not sure why I do this sometimes. I think I'd be better spending my energy arguing about arguing about Beatles threads.
