Spit or swallow?

When offered custard cream or garibaldi I always opt for the custard cream safe in the knowledge that I will not be eating any dead flies which I would have to cough into my handkerchief whilst distracting my hostess by complimenting her upon her unusual teapot. Do you have a mental strategy for dealing with the dead fly/garibaldi association and if you were to find that you were eating a real dead fly would you spit or swallow?

Underpants Toast

Nicey,

Underpants Toast was a life-changing discovery for me, and for the past year or so, it has been my all-consuming passion. It has gotten to the point where people lock down their breadboxes when I enter a room.

My dilemma is, after a year of joyously prancing my fingers about while wearing toast and mayo, the magic has finally faded. I need an exciting new food item to play with at the most inappropriate moments. I did some experiments with soups and boullions, but as you can imagine, results were less than satisfying.

Help? Please?

My French teacher at school

told us that the word biscuit derived from the French for 'baked twice'. According to him a double baking process was traditionally employed in biscuit making - hence the name.
Can you enlighten me further? It's always sounded pretty unlikely, I mean, who ever heard of having to bake a biscuit twice? Perhaps your website could include a history of the biscuit and the antecedence of the name.
Oh, and are Brandy snaps due a revival any time soon? I loved them.
