What do you call this biscuit?

[gosub]

Just to go back to this, surely everyone knows mouth dunking? The classic bite-and-slurp-and-swill.

You are going to get kicked out of Baynes

 

[marty21]

I'd give them a go tbf , what should I ask for ?

 

[rubbershoes]

I'm still baffled by mouth dunking

 

[A380]

Pineapple tarts?

Weren’t they the all female steel guitar band, with problematic name in todays climate , that supported Ruddy Yurts on the Isle of White in 76…

Well given it's a vexed issue, pointing is probably the way to go.

I'm just glad I'm good at pointing.

It's an Empire biscuit. They sell them in the little Tesco downstairs from me and any local baker or Gregg's etc will always do them. I'm quite surprised to find they're not a thing everywhere.

 

[Saffy]

I asked my Mum and she knows them as empire biscuits but apparently my dad and his family called them German biscuits.

 

[ouirdeaux]

I had never seen one. I generally find sweet things a bit sad when they don't contain chocolate. This looks sadder than most.

 

[Idaho]

I don’t know the former.

Chorley cakes are like Eccles cakes but without the sugar coating. More of a plain pasty that lends itself well to toasting and buttering.

They are most definitely not a thing down here because I would be all over them like a tramp on chips, shortbread, jam, more shortbread, icing and a jelly tot ! What's not to like ?!

 

[Maggot]

I've never come across these.

That's the Biscuit Game, played by public school boys apparently.

The OP is an "Empire Biscuit"

quite common around here, although the topper is half a glace cherry - although I have seen half a fresh strawberry !

Bloody gentrification

Exactly. We’ll have none of that pish, thank you.

2-pack of six biscuits?

 

[A380]

Exactly. We’ll have none of that pish, thank you.

Presumably eating fresh fruit gets you escorted to the border and exiled to Barrow In Furnace?

 

[WouldBe]

Exactly. We’ll have none of that pish, thank you.

Should be a quaver.

 

[Epona]

From the top, they do look a bit like Belgian buns, so I can see where the term Belgian biscuit might have come from.
My first thought was titbiscuits however, because that is the way my mind works - I also find vegetables that look like willies aesthetically pleasing and fairly amusing, so there you go.

Feel sure I have eaten these at some point.

Well, it’s a biscuit. It’s persevered food with a longer shelf life than a cut strawberry.

I’m going to get crotchety with you!

just a minim...

Never heard of any of those. Let alone tasted one.

‘ The fuck is mouth dunking?

I thought that too, dishonest advertising.

 

[A380]

The real question of biscuit nomenclature is is the pronounced ‘nice’ or ‘nice’? I think it’s nice, but I have friends who claim it’s nice.



What say you Urban, nice or nice?

I remember seeing something like this in my youth. I don't have a name for it because I wasn't the one buying them or keeping them around (we are talking like, under 5 years old for me).

I described it to my mother and the first thing she goes is "a Linzer?". I googled that because I was unfamiliar with the term. I had to tell her it's not a Linzer because linzers are jammie dodgers. She has no real name for it, after I showed her the picture of the biscuit in question. She said she too knows what it is, and has even attempted to make something close to it, back in the day.

I've got no one else to ask who would have some type of phrasing for it, unfortunately. So maybe call it "jammie dodger with a boob fixation"?
