I need to buy biscuits for the office later
Bourbons are a dead cert but what other biscuits should I buy?
I should also state I am the one who eats most of them and I don't like coconut.

Malted Milk
They have a strangely alluring taste and a picture of a cow on the front. Can't say fairer than that.

My nana had a fireside rug that looked like a Malted Milk biscuit
Sans cow, but Malted Milk in every other way

You could have stolen a cow
and parked it on the rug.

Did the rug taste like a Malted Milk as well?
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 10:58, Reply)

No. It tasted of man-made fibres
Its bigger rounder counterpart on the other side of the living room looked like a biscuit-coloured Simon game.

I was recently made aware of the existence of the chocolate one
I didn't think you could make the perfect biscuit any better, but bugger me, some bright spark realised you could put chocolate on one side.

I developed a love of Cheddar biscuits during the summer
They provide a savoury alternative to the other biscuits that will be available, and are the most incredibly more-ish things I have come across in a long time.

Plus, others didn't like them, so they were pretty much all mine.

Are they just cheese flavoured biscuits?
Or are they the ones with the sandwich of cheese flavouring?

Wonder if you can still get them? I think they were from M&S.

I'm pretty sure Tesco still do an own-brand version.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 11:50, Reply)

Just the cheese flavoured ones
No sort of filling, unless you buy cheese spread and sandwich it between 2 yourself. This is also good, and wholly acceptable.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 10:56, Reply)

No this wasn't cheese spread
If you can imagine the texture of the filling of a Bourbon or Custard Cream, but cheese flavoured.

Don't get me bogged down in stifling beaurocratic nonsense. It's a biscuit, it is eaten like a biscuit, it resides in the biscuit tin.

No!
It can be bought at the counter with chocolate bars in newsagents and can be consumed without the need for an accompanying cup of tea.
