Curmudgeon was confused by my recent mention of a bourbon biscuit (happens a lot at his age), so without further ado (if I see one more blogger write ‘further adieu’ I shall do something quite unnecessary) here it is:

Bourbon

It’s a cookie biscuit not unlike an Oreo (which I also love), but not as bitter. It dates from 1910 and is allegedly named after the House of Bourbon, not the alcoholic beverage ;-)

They are very nice dipped in coffee (as are Oreos) and are my all time favourite biscuit. What’s yours?

  1. Oreos bitter?? And dipped in coffee??

    Good God man! I’m sure that’s a sin!

  2. Can I vote for a swap of chocolate/biscuits across the Atlantic? You lot have no idea how bitter your choccie is compared to our sweeties!

    My favourite biscuits are chocolate hobnobs mmm

  3. You can’t beat a good dunk Kai…..

    They are bitter relative to Bourbons….

  4. I love Bourbons, eat one side, then the cream, then the other :grin:

    I hate Oreos, but if anyone wants to offer Hershey Cookies and Creme as a swap I’m listening :wink:

  5. Mine is probably Malted Milk or All-Butter, or maybe Custard Creams, or Ginger Nuts. Or…

  6. So… let me see… I thought biscuits were crackers, but they can be cookies, too?

    It’s no wonder I’m confused.

    Wasn’t it Shaw who said America and Britain were two countries divided by a common language?

    (And, although the kids love ‘em, I never cared for Oreos….)

  7. EW oreoes in COFFEE Yuck, Its milk. Try it sometime!

  8. I’ve tried them in milk, it’s just meh. They don’t go soft enough-why don’t you try coffee? You may be surprised….

    Hershey stuff is so bland you may as well eat the wrapper.

    Pinksy, you have a similar taste in biscuits to me :-)

    Curmudgeon: Biscuits are cookies, crackers are those dry inedible things you put cheese on & serve to people you don’t like.

    I thought she sang ‘puppet on a string’? ;-)

  9. Biscuits are biscuits! this really pisses me off :evil: i am on medication!
    Bourbons+coffee = Nice!
    Tea+Ginger Nuts = Very nice!

  10. Tea & ginger nuts is a classic combination!

  11. But generally, biscuits baaaad….

  12. Mmmmmmm….you guys need some Godiva chocolates. Better than sex, almost. :wink:
