Let's hear your #Monday afternoon opinions about #biscuits! Contribute to #biscuitwars - your instance needs you!

@Flamekebab Dw i'n hoffi biscedi siocled. Ond, dim Oreos. Mae Oreos yn biscedi siomedig. Maen nhw'n edrych fel siocled, ond maen nhw'n blas fel sawdust. Fy hoff bisced yn Digestive Siocled Tywyll.

#BrwydrBisgedi

I like chocolate biscuits. But, no Oreos. Oreos are disappointing biscuits. They look like chocolate, but they taste like sawdust. My favorite biscuit is Digestive Dark Chocolate.

#BiscuitWars

@suearcher I tried Lidl's offbrand Oreos (Neos?) and found they were utterly awful. One of the few times I've been tempted to bin biscuits. Ultimately I didn't because I am weak.

#biscuitwars #BrwydrBisgedi

@Flamekebab yes, I would probably plough on, if I'd bought them. Can't waste a biscuit....

#biscuitwars #BrwydrBisgedi

@suearcher that was my thinking. I tried dunking them in both tea and coffee (separately not one after the other, I'm not insane). Nothing seemed to help.

#biscuitwars #BrwydrBisgedi

@Flamekebab @suearcher maybe you should have...? ๐Ÿ‘€

#BiscuitWars #BrwydrBisgedi

@cadachllestri @suearcher I already took one for the team by enduring such a dreadful packet of disappointment!

#biscuitwars #BrwydrBisgedi

@Flamekebab @suearcher maybe you should go the whole hog and brew a cup of coff-tea to go with your imitation sawdust cookies?

Now THAT's fighting talk.

#BiscuitWars #BrwydrBisgedi

@Flamekebab @suearcher No one, yet.

But that Nestle employee with the loaded custard trebuchet got pretty close.

Don't diss the Kit Kats, people. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

#BiscuitWars #BrwydrBisgedi

@cadachllestri @suearcher I like Kit-Kats! Although they are inferior to Norwegian Kvikk Lunsj in every way...

#biscuitwars #BrwydrBisgedi

@Flamekebab @suearcher you only like them in the chocolate bar aisle though, right?

#BiscuitWars #BrwydrBisgedi

@cadachllestri @suearcher if I was looking for them in a corner shop I'd expect to find them amongst the Lion bars and suchlike, not near the custard creams!

#biscuitwars #BrwydrBisgedi

@Flamekebab @suearcher what happens if they aren't? Do you walk out or do you write a stiff letter to the Chief of Confectionery?
@cadachllestri @suearcher I'd stubbornly refuse to buy a Kit-Kat! I'm a man of principles!

@cadachllestri @Flamekebab @suearcher

Somehow this has resulted in me photographing Kit Kats on the way home. I can't believe I'm feeding this beast.

This should definitely have a Content Warning - there's an upside down Aero in that display. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ ๐Ÿ˜‚

@cadachllestri @curatedjenny @Flamekebab @suearcher You noticed the upside down Aero but not the upside down Kit Kat?!!
And surely the content warning should be for the Hersey's bars? Those things shouldn't be anywhere near confectionary. Or food.
@Ebly @cadachllestri @curatedjenny @Flamekebab I used to help out on an archaeology fieldschool, with lots of American students, and they would go home with bags full of "posh British chocolate" - Cadbury's Dairy Milk and Mars Bars!
@suearcher @Ebly @cadachllestri @curatedjenny oh dear gods, how low was their bar?!

@Flamekebab @Ebly @cadachllestri @curatedjenny Hersheys!

Also, one guy got very excited when his Mum sent him a package from home. Among the terrible chocolate was a box of Red Rose teabags. He insisted we get a teapot out and make tea. It was basically PG tips (which is fine), but I was amused at an American trying to tell us Brits what 'proper' tea was like.

@suearcher @Ebly @cadachllestri @curatedjenny how bizarre! Then again I drink pints of Earl Grey with milk and sugar...
@Flamekebab @Ebly @cadachllestri @curatedjenny Mwg fawr neis! Mae gyda fy ngลตr jwg peint Denby i de, a mae o'n yfed Earl Grey, ond du.
@suearcher @Ebly @cadachllestri @curatedjenny
This one was painted for me by an old girlfriend - in one of the other pictures I posted one can just make out the design on the bottom (the same logo as my avatar). I've never found any mug that could compare!
@suearcher @Ebly @cadachllestri @Flamekebab Never have I despaired more for archaeologists. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@curatedjenny @Flamekebab @suearcher

That KitKat Chunky - both cheaper and more expensive than a Yorkie bar, depending on quantity.

So, is wafer as an ingredient cheaper or more expensive than chocolate....? ๐Ÿค”

I was never any good at maths.

@cadachllestri @Flamekebab mae gen i travel mug, i mynd รข Repair Cafe. Dw i'n wastad yfed te, ond y wythnos 'ma, dw i'n meddwl, oedd rhywun cymysgu y lids, a oedd fy nhe yn blas o goffi hefyd. Dim neis.

@cadachllestri @Flamekebab Sorry, forgot the English part!

I have a travel mug, to take to Repair Cafe. I always drink tea, but this week, I think, someone mixed the lids, and my tea tasted like coffee too. Not nice.

@Flamekebab Maybe they needed to be made into a cheesecake base, and hidden under a good dollop of sweet cream cheese!

@suearcher I could see that working. Much like how we encase nuclear waste in concrete and bury it.
