PJay Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 You must be getting bored Rich! I hope you are not eating too many biscuits! Personaly not a lover of chocolate flavoured anything. My favorite biscuits are, Digestive and Shortbread. Much easier to dunk! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always best to use your dominant hand for such important work, you have better control in preventing the dunked bit splashing back into a cup full of hot drink in your best bone china cup, or enamel mug if you are a peasant!

Violet1956 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I was pleased to see that you had created a diversion from the usual topics on here Rich. I don’t much care for any biscuit so forgive me when I recommend an alternative favourite of mine that is the pork pie. Way in excess of the calories of a biscuit but so unctuous ;-) Veronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 I am now faced with terrible conundrums, Should I switch my allegiance to pork pies, but being a poor pensioner I can't afford to waste the choccys so I will just have to rough it and finish 'em up!? Should I buy a big pork pie and cut it into quarters in case you get more meat in a 1/4 of a big 'un than you do in a whole small 'un - unless you are a pastry aficienado, but does one big 'un cost less than 4 little 'uns?

Tracker Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 How could you even dare suggest a pork pie with no jelly - how else are they going to fill the vacuum, stop the pork flopping about and add to the weight at no cost to the maker!
