What do you call this biscuit?

[kittyP]

I don't really have time for biscuits that can't be dunked in tea or don't lend themselves to it.
The only exceptions are dark chocolate covered ginger Border biscuits

 

[gosub]

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

Shows how much you know about where a lot of UK soft fruit comes from

 

[gosub]

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?

no nice, but dunkable

 

[Rebelda]

I would call it handsome. Hello handsome.

[dessiato]

We call them "one of your/my mum's biscuits." My m-i-l used to make them. They were delicious and we often miss her baking.

Both are wrong, it's nice.

 

[emanymton]

What wrong with you? That’s just normal!

For an uncivilised barbarian, perhaps.

Nice. To rhyme with noblice.

 

[quimcunx]

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

I still don't know what this is meant to be.

 

[JimW]

Neese, like Neese Witherspoon

 

[Silas Loom]

Neechay. A near rhyme with lychee.

Or how to spell UK place names.

Tbf if you were in Fisher Donaldson you'd be a wrong'un if you were getting these instead of a fudge yum-yum.

I know it comes from Scotland, but I’ve always imagined it was like those surprisingly common pig farms in Israel .

The Scottish grow the fruit but it’s not allowed to touch the ground and is shipped out to England in lead lined crates under armed guard by deep fried Tunnocks eating security guards or similar?

 

[quimcunx]

2-pack of six biscuits?

I guess the serving suggestion is "with another two packets of two".

 

[scifisam]

Never seen or heard of them but would probably like them.

I have made lemon curd tit biscuits before though

Empire biscuit.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Reminds me of Esther Rantzen.

 

[Happy Tree]

I had a summer job near the Newlands Bakery main building and would pop in to get me their Empire Biscuits. Crumbly, slightly chewy biscuit. Icing. Jam. Glacé cherry. What's not to love? Cup of Earl Grey and you have a lunch fit for a king.

 

[Happy Tree]

They have something similar here called Alexandri kook. Not bad but the biscuit bit isn't as good.
