Best way to eat a custard cream or similar?

[Johnny Vodka]

We're talking custard creams, bourbons, etc - any biscuit with a creamy substance in the middle and that can be pulled into two separate pieces.

Personally, I like to pull them into the two separate pieces rather than eat through the whole thing. You?

I find it best to put it in my mouth and make a chewing action. Then swallow.

Well, yeah, but do you pull it in half first?

 

[butchersapron]

Put it in the tea then eat it.

We're going to lose the next war aren't we?

Separate then scrape filling from biscuit with upper teeth. Then enjoy the two biscuits.

 

[Saul Goodman]

No. Why would I? That would involve adding an additional activity which would further delay my enjoyment of said biscuit.
I don't pour measures of coffee into another receptacle before drinking it either.

You drink it straight from the cafetiere/jug?

No, the coffee machine dispenses into whatever I choose to drink it from.

theres a guardian lifestyle section article in this.

I just eat it as normal, no need to deconstruct it.

Almost. Use bottom teeth for a better scrape

Your inner children are dead.

Thinking about it it may be due to my overbite and mashed up bottom teeth so I'm not going to get too hung up on which part of the mouth is used.

 

[pogofish]

Keep your mouth shut and just bin the disgusting thing - There are far better biscuits!

 

[Orang Utan]

Like most biscuits - put the whole thing in your mouth and chew

Seperate the two halves, most satisfactorily done by using bottom left incisor. Eat top half. Use top or bottom teeth to gouge off the filling. Eat bottom half. Avoid anything with jam.

 

[wiskey]

Not worth eating without tea to dunk it in

Exactly my technique, except I eat the cream and then dunk the bald biscuit halves into my tea for extra danger....

Just shove the biscuit in your gob, and continue eating the rest of the packet until you feel sick. The only thing it is acceptable to deconstruct is a twix, so you save the caramel bit for last.

Rum.

That seems almost sensuous.

It wouldn't work so well in hot weather unless you like stickiness....

The whole biscuit at once?

 

[Orang Utan]

The whole biscuit at once?

Yes, of course. Unless it's one of those massive cookies

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Yes, of course. Unless it's one of those massive cookies

That's certainly an interesting eating style.

Nibbling them is weirder

 

[aqua]

Eat them in one. Or 2 bites if I'm in company

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I'm with farmerbarleymow.

Eat one in one bite, eat the next in another bite then repeat until the packet is empty.

Then curse the person who invented such devil creams!!!

There are 2 or 3 decent bites in the average biscuit.

 

[Plumdaff]

Dunk in tea. Eat.

The only quasi biscuit worth deconstructing is the Jaffa Cake, leaving an orange jelly disc topped with chocolate until last.

 

[Orang Utan]

If you have a child's mouth, maybe.
But if you can fit it in your gob whole comfortably, just shove it in and chew

 

[gentlegreen]

Perhaps thankfully, custard creams contain dairy, "sadly" Bourbon creams don't ...

I only ever eat them dunked in soy dessert or perhaps added to wholegrain cereal in unsweetened soy milk.
