Biscuits

[The Legendary Shark]

All of our threads are crackers, one way or another.

Hmm. I always thought these were crackers. Whilst tasty, I'm not sure a savoury 'biscuit' really fits the criteria.

Do we need a separate thread for crackers?

Considering the (massive assumption here) standard ethno-demographic for 2000AD, I'd say they're all are.

Ship's biscuit. Both savoury and, by the sound of it, unsavoury.

That reminds me, I once had a dream that my teacake had no marshmallow in it. Any idea what this might have meant?

It means that those closest to you have evil intent. Do not go to the senate house tomorrow.

That'll be four sestertii, please.

Anyone else need any soothsaying?

Well it's either that or you are soon to be appointed Proconsul of Germania Inferior.
Sometimes the biscuits are unclear.

Of course! For the glory of Rome is eternal!

Mint and chocolate should, never,never be consumed together.

The exact opposite of the truth: for the only thing that makes mint bearable is the chocolate it is attached to.

Death to the Kendal Mint Cakers!

Mint and chocolate is one of the few uses I've found for mint (pity me, for non-mint toothpaste is not easy to find).

Something about the sticky wafer that places these in some kind of biscuit top ten. Colin? A vote?

Lemon Puffs!  That pic looks relatively recent - any idea where they can be purchased in the third decade of the 21st century?

My local Best One convenience store, for starters. Same with those jammy marshmallow biscuits.

My favourite comment on this thread, bravo Shark.

Inspired by this discussion I bought myself some Animal Biscuits yesterday. These were NOT as nice as I recalled. I remembered them being basically tiny, animal shaped chocolate digestives but the biscuit now is all hard and dry and nasty and also there is no longer a squirrel. Essentially I endured the jeers of my colleague for nothing.
