I'm not sure I've ever actually had an oreo.

Anyway, there are some good biscuits out there.....Scottish shortbread, chocolate Leibniz, Lebkuchen, chocolate and hazelnut biscotti....

I tried half of one once. I think that gives you an idea that you're not missing out  :grin:

Taste like chocolate to me, although I don't have much experience with chocolate cookies.

Custard creams? What are those? I love custard, so that sounds good!

Have you ever eaten chocolate before? These are custard creams:



There is one type of biscuit I think is good but I don't know what they are called. They are a mix between a almond thin and a lingue di gatto. Crisp around the edge with a slightly softer centre, have a bite to them but not enough to shatter or crumble and enough moister not to be drying but not enough to be chewy, the biscuit has a light vanilla taste and includes very finely shaved almonds. Excellent with an espresso.

Florentines are also good. How could I forget the best of them all.....the fig roll (fig newton). I've heard they're good dipped in Scotch ;)

Oreos  are for dunking in milk. Saturate until to cookie is just about to disintegrate and then devour. An excellent cookie. You Brits just tried to eat them the wrong way.

That sounds as bad as beans dipped in mushroom soup!

1. Why yes, I have. In fact, I've been indulging myself in it far too much lately. >.<

2. Oh, so they're cookies? Makes sense with the subject, I suppose. I was expecting something custard! Are they like custard flavored cookies or something? (not sure how that would work... I only think of custard in one way. lol)

Nothing mushroom could ever be good. Leave those things in the ground!  :lol:

Oreos are probably more of an American thing - a snack food that has become a cultural icon. In the past few years, they have been trying to increase interest by putting out "special editions" such as cinnamon bun and lime.

They're a very hard and brittle vanilla biscuit with a sweet creamy filling. They're overly sweet for my taste and really not very good but they're a bit of a British classic.

How do you dip beans in mushroom soup, one by one? Sounds a bit tiresome.

The recipe JJ told me to make involved a tin of green beans and a tin of Campbell's mushroom soup. You basically mix them together and bake in the oven.....he assures me it wasn't a joke!
