What's the most underrated biscuit?

[-]

RedMariner@reddit

‘Nice’ biscuits. Favourite from my childhood. Can still get them as part of a Aldi multipack.

[-]

nevereverbelieve@reddit

Fruit shortcake and Gold biscuits 2 of my favourites

[-]

namur17056@reddit

Do you suck tea/coffee through the gold biscuit?

[-]

No never tried that. I love the caramel flavour though. I am an addicted tea dipper any biscuit ( not chocolate coated) can and will be dunked. Couldn't guess the amount of times half drops into the mug.

[-]

namur17056@reddit

If I’m dunking I always keep a spoon handy. Nothing worse than biscuity dregs

[-]

Maximum_Scientist_85@reddit

Fruit shortcake is properly underrated as a biscuit.

[-]

NobDeRiro@reddit

Lincoln biscuits. Diabolical how many people either haven’t heard of them or haven’t had one

They were my fave as a kid but it seemed the supermarkets stopped selling them, treat myself every now and then and get them off Amazon

[-]

RookyRed@reddit

I don't think I knew what they were called, but I remember them! Morning Coffee biscuits as well for something lighter.

[-]

NobDeRiro@reddit

Yes morning coffee biscuits!

[-]

Maximum_Scientist_85@reddit

Wait ... you can get them off Amazon?

Lincoln biscuits were my absolute favourites. Was gutted when I couldn't find them in supermarkets.

[-]

SubjectIcy3607@reddit

Jaffa cake

[-]

Jack1ngton@reddit

Anything but Nice biscuits. F tier

[-]

Maximum_Scientist_85@reddit

Tell you what, chocolate coated malted milks are properly, properly good. I can't have them in the house, I will 100% certain eat the whole packet in one sitting..

Another underrated biscuit IMO - Rich Tea. They're bloody lovely.

[-]

Alert-Performance199@reddit

They're like crack to me the chocolate covered malted milk

[-]

paperandcard@reddit

I bloomin’ love a Rich Tea Biscuit!

[-]

wishiwasntyet@reddit

They are crack cocaine in biscuit form. I imagine

[-]

iwannabeinnyc@reddit

Have you tried chocolate coated rich tea?!

[-]

anon1992lol@reddit

I can’t have chocolate malted milks in cos I binge, and then I have no chocolate malted milks!

[-]

ljofa@reddit

Then buy more. MOAR!

[-]

dadsyrhinowhite@reddit

Best biscuits by far. The Marks and Spencer ones are fantasicly moreish.

[-]

Disastrous_Meat5657@reddit

Omg I came to say chocolate malted milks. Rediscovered them in the past year, rivals most of my pricer favourites

[-]

hazel-snut@reddit

Came here to say this too. Chocolate malted milks are dangerously good.

[-]

nworbleinad@reddit

Totally agree. Biscuit crack.

[-]

kylehyde84@reddit

Rich tea are class 😍

[-]

CMacons@reddit

This is the way.

[-]

Alert-Performance199@reddit

Chocolate covered malted milk 😏

[-]

Confudled_Contractor@reddit

Fig Rolls. So filling. A meal in a little biscuity parcel.

[-]

Normal-Ad2587@reddit

The Fig Roll.

I actually prefer the cheap Lidl ones as opposed to mcvities.

[-]

Capital-Clerk6452@reddit

Fruit shortcake

[-]

Berookes@reddit

Chocolate malted milks are god tier and so slept on

[-]

KernelPoptartz@reddit

Outside of Scotland pretty much anything made by Tunnocks is vastly underrated

[-]

Iwantedalbino@reddit

I don’t know how tea cakes and wafers haven’t taken over the world.

Also the make up of a Scottish pie should have become more prevalent. Why in England do I need a tray to convey my pie? Just give me a wee hand shaped round pie

And sliced sausage is superior to link why has it not caught on further.

[-]

sneakyhopskotch@reddit

People out here quoting age-old UK staple favourite biscuits as “underrated.” Rich Tea, plain digestives, chocolate Bourbons - maybe you like them more than the average person (that’s Rich Tea and milk chocolate Hobnobs for me), but they can’t possibly be underrated because they are always popular and have been for donkeys years.

It’s a tough question because you first have to think which biscuits in our biscuit-worshipping society are less than completely positively rated. Ginger biscuits, custard creams, those little pink wafers… they are all appropriately rated IMO. I don’t have an answer to this. I’d guess it has to be a very good but little-known biscuit that “should have” taken off but for whatever reason didn’t.

[-]

Iwantedalbino@reddit

Rich Tea hatred has gone too far.

It may still be doing the sales numbers but the slander is disproportional to the quality of biscuit.

[-]

DMBear89@reddit

Mint Rocky’s

[-]

siybon@reddit

They're individually wrapped and thus don't belong in the biscuit tin.

[-]

elom44@reddit

Chobbles. The great forgotten biscuit.

[-]

thinkaboutthegame@reddit

Jam and Cream, ideally Fox's. I'm always surprised at how much I enjoy them and they're really cheap compared to chocolate biscuits.

[-]

D0wnInAlbion@reddit

This would be my choice too. People always refer to them as Jammy Dodger rip-offs but they're superior in every way.

The McVities Happy Face version are lovely too.

[-]

girl_aboutlondontown@reddit

Malted Milks!

[-]

sillydog80@reddit

No one talks about the pink wafer anymore.

[-]

Rude-Possibility4682@reddit

Ginger nut..I could eat a whole packet if I open one.

[-]

Equivalent_Scale_284@reddit

Mcvities fruit shortcake.

[-]

ret990@reddit

BOURBON

[-]

summers_tilly@reddit

This is the answer. My whole family chooses custard creams over bourbons and it makes me suspicious I’m adopted. Love a bourbon.

[-]

ouzo84@reddit

Is it underrated though?

What biscuit is better than a bourbon?

[-]

pajamakitten@reddit

Chocolate Hobnob.

[-]

Hangry_cat_lady@reddit

Love a good bourbon! Or the chocolate coated ones from M&S if I’m feeling extra bougie and want to treat myself

[-]

SaltyName8341@reddit

Isn't that just a penguin

[-]

Hangry_cat_lady@reddit

Pretty much but the chocolate’s much thicker on the M&S ones 😄

[-]

Stoatwobbler@reddit

This is the correct answer

[-]

Personal-Visual-3283@reddit

Yes!! Such an underrated biscuit but so so good!

[-]

NoteIcy4315@reddit

Not sure anyone likes a Garibaldi any more, but I do.

[-]

Oozlum-Bird@reddit

Squashed fly biscuits are bloody great. They don’t really work for dunking, so I usually just pull one of the layers out of the packet intact, and treat it as one big biscuit. That way I can eat a whole packet, but say I’ve only eaten a few.

[-]

yorkshepherd@reddit

I do

[-]

Elusive_Zergling@reddit

Almond biscuits from M&S. They are really good.

[-]

Blandiblub@reddit

Fig rolls.

[-]

Maximum_Scientist_85@reddit

Solid, solid biscuit choice that.

[-]

South-Bank-stroll@reddit

Is it a biscuit? It’s kinda something else to me but I don’t know what. I also now really want a fig roll.

[-]

markhau5@reddit

Was just about to say this. I can put a packet away with ease.

[-]

pajamakitten@reddit

Always had them in my lunchbox at school.

[-]

Mookville@reddit

This is the correct answer

[-]

Current_Scarcity_379@reddit

In my top 3. Great biscuit .

[-]

PoinkPoinkPoink@reddit

Bourbon creme. Supreme.

[-]

FordZodiac@reddit

Jammy Dodgers.

[-]

G30fff@reddit

Gingernut

[-]

Fine-Night-243@reddit

Top tier for me. And dipped in tea they transform into a completely different, superior food

[-]

Fine-Night-243@reddit

Rich tea. Ok you need to top it with Nutella or Biscoff paste to make it edible but at that point it's top class.

[-]

Cupcakemouse@reddit

The mcvities digestive with a thin layer of caramel between the biscuit and chocolate!

[-]

thistooshallpass007@reddit

Bourbons

[-]

RookyRed@reddit

Toffeepops. I guess I'll be the only one to name an actual underrated biscuit.

[-]

SmolKits@reddit

I second malted milk. It took me a long time to realise I like horlicks

[-]

oh_no3000@reddit

The un dunked rich tea. Dry up front and wallpaper paste at the back. The dream biscuit.

[-]

Kaizoku230@reddit

For me it’s party rings , most think they are for kids right? but how many kids buy a pack of party rings compared to adults . I rest my case .

[-]

SnooMacarons9618@reddit

Custard Creams.

[-]

Historical_Project86@reddit

Jaffa Cake, no question.

[-]

Scotsdee@reddit

Absolutely no question. I inhale them, can't buy them. They don't make it past one coffee

[-]

ambernewt@reddit

They're better when they're a bit stale so they have a bit of crunch

[-]

swapacoinforafish@reddit

Digestives. Plain digestives. I think they are so underrated. They're often called plain and boring but they are the perfect mix of salty and sweet, great texture and dunkability.

[-]

Wearethedevil@reddit

With a bit of salted butter and Wensleydale and cranberry on 🤤

[-]

everythingscatter@reddit

Sharp cheddar and thinly sliced silverskin pickled onions. Oh my!

[-]

Any_Listen_7306@reddit

I like them with butter - but they can be savoury or sweet. Proper versatility biscuit wise!

[-]

Jealous-Shallot-3071@reddit

Oh look, another Reddit thread where no one really understands the meaning of underrated

[-]

GotAnyNirnroot@reddit

Call me crazy, but a chocolate digestive is a delicious biscuit.

[-]

ljofa@reddit

Dark chocolate hobnob. Any day of the week.

[-]

BlessedByAYoungDeath@reddit (OP)

Just ruins your day

[-]

XStaticImmaculate@reddit

I still have a lot of love for Custard Creams. I’m in my 20’s and don’t see a lot of them at friends houses etc. just older relatives

[-]

llamallamacow@reddit

Came here to say the same. Custard creams are the God of biscuits! Them and gingernuts

[-]

Millennial93@reddit

I may have eaten 600 grams of custard creams in the last 48 hours. 😬

[-]

kylehyde84@reddit

I can't buy custard creams otherwise I will smash them in one sitting

[-]

Benjam21@reddit

Custard Cream is always my go to, dirt cheap but tasty. Although M&S chocolate coated custard creams are delicious!

[-]

Any_Listen_7306@reddit

Pink wafers. Can demolish a whole packet. Dunkable too.

[-]

OwlOutside1991@reddit

Custard cream.

[-]

British_Patriot_777@reddit

Biscoffs and digestives, absolutely delicious, digestives are amazing with tea.

[-]

MoonRoover@reddit

You have no idea how much I miss the fruit clubs

[-]

KittyMcBean@reddit

The rich tea. It’s a marvel when dunked.

[-]

Cold-Value6465@reddit

Ginger snap

[-]

Budget_Yak_2635@reddit

Gary Baldy

[-]

fiftyzedned@reddit

Garibaldi

[-]

Stevebwrw@reddit

Tunnock's Caramel Wafer! The World's best biscuit!

[-]

CheesyGarlicBudapest@reddit

Custard Creams.

But specifically.. M & S custard creams. The vanilla filling is godly.

[-]

PresentationUpset319@reddit

In some quarters I hear Soggy Biscuit is the choice

[-]

sidewalker69@reddit

Garibaldi

[-]

broadarrow39@reddit

Foxes ginger creams

[-]

fROM_614_Ohio@reddit

Breakaway bars.

[-]

Agniology@reddit

Fig biscuits

[-]

Doomergeneration@reddit

I’m partial to a Nice

[-]

Nickjc88@reddit

Jam Mallows! Obviously don't dunk them but they're getting harder to buy these days.

[-]

DryJackfruit6610@reddit

I banned myself from timtams since they arrived in the UK.

Cause i have no self control and would eat all 9 in one sitting by accident

[-]

BlessedByAYoungDeath@reddit (OP)

Have you done a timtam slam?

[-]

DryJackfruit6610@reddit

Dont remind me. This was the contributing factor to my weight gain 😅

[-]

littlemissdizaster80@reddit

Hob nobs 😋

[-]

west_manchester@reddit

Nice

[-]

HelloReddit54321@reddit

Rich tea

[-]

Suspicious_Field_429@reddit

Fruit Club 🤤

[-]

JimmyBallocks@reddit

Soggy.

[-]

LiorahLights@reddit

Rich tea. It's good for a dunk.

[-]

Life-Broker@reddit

Danish butter cookies with coconut rings coming in a close second.

[-]

Thaiaaron@reddit

Maryland cookies. Crunchy if undunked, and if dunked you have 0.75s to get it into your mouth before catastrophic failures of structural integrity. Size is perfect too so one is enough to satiate you, but also small enough you can justify having another one. They're half the size of a normal biscuit, so clearly two is just one.
