That's tickled me pink & fluffy for some reason.

I was actually discussing Terry Thomas and Leslie Philips on Friday night with a mate... I don't know what it is about 'gentlemen' comics, but they're a dying breed.


and... Re: 'how do you eat yours?'...
I have the strangest method of consuming Wagon Wheels ever, which involves removing the biscuity stuff to leave the pancake of mallow behind, which I then roll into a tube and eat like a brandy snap.

Yes... I am very odd indeed.

yeah...round the edges for me too...save the best til last...

are we still talking about jaffa cakes?

scottish shortbread, may as well inject your heart with butter, but on an autumn evening, a nice strong cup of tea and a pack of shortcake by your side...superb...

white chocolate = white dog poo...discuss

Nothing to do with Jaffa Cakes but I have recently rediscovered the illicit pleasures of Malteesers. Years ago I developed a technique of peeling the chocolate off with my teeth before sucking the scrummy honeycomb middle. I have to buy the little 'fun size' bags otherwise I just can't stop and end up eating dozens of the little blighters.

Back to biscuits... When I was small, my sister told me that Garibaldi biscuits were made with squashed ants, 40 years later I still can't even look at a Garibaldi (let alone eat one) without feeling sick!

god I'm hungry, knew I shouldn't have read this thread!

I'm off home now, think I migh tget som biscuits on the way, bang goes the healthy eating.

And for reference, nothing can beat a chocolate digestive, apart from maybe a chocolate hobnob

As kids, we used to call Eccles cakes 'Bluebottle' cakes. I still eat them though !

ah! 'Eello Eccles....

Oooh, Eccles, you've deaded him!

Keith,

How can you get so squeamish about eating a few ants

In Yorkshire we eat black pudding raw (and fried), we eat tripe raw, ferrets when they bite us and pigs trotters

And Yorkshire Pudding is a course all on its own. The best Sunday Dinner I ever had was after a VERY heavy night in Masham with a bunch of lads on leave from an oil rig. Like oxygen to a dying man it was, even if it was the wrong side of the Lancashire border.

Custard creams for me! As far as im concerned theyre biccie heaven! And from sainsburys they cost about 50p for about 4million of them! Lasted a good 3 or 4 cups of tea as well which was just loverly.

As for posh biscuits, I believe the worst value are ones called 'Boasters' (or maybe Boosters...). They come in a fairly big packet which contains about 6 cookie type biscuits for about £2. Right next to them on the shelf were the Maryland cookies. The decision still haunts me.

Probably just as well there's only nine biscuits in a packet then. Some people just don't know when to stop.

Bourbons have never tasted the same since.

To veer off on a slight tangent, a friend of mine dips banana fritters in curry sauce. Don't ask - she has issues.

I used to eat all the spongy biscuity bit first, then suck the chocolate off the orange bit, leaving me with the gelatinous, orange-flavoured centre. I would do this with several Jaffa Cakes, stacking all the orange bits in a tower and shoving the whole lot in my gob. Heaven.

Ah but they were SQUASHED ants, now if they had been alive and wriggling it would be a different matter... MMMMmmmmmmm!

Piggy wiggy woo.

ahhhh...if only you could of heard the voice I used to read that in my head...funnily enough, I do often roll around in my own excrement...

Funnily enough, Picnic bars are used extensively as human excrement in the Gilbert & George song we perform in my comedy act. Just leave them to soak and they look so real!

Freddie, that was a heartless and wicked thing to do.

One of my last little vices has now turned sour.

If you ever see our adult baby routine you'll be put off chocolate Angel Delight and choc raisins forever!
