Wanna Brew?

[Alison]

Sorry, don't want either at the moment.

(Btw I'm in a bit of a weird mood today so don't expect to get any sense out of me)

OK, then Alison, that's fine!

Next time you have either a cup of tea or coffee, just vote for whichever one you have!

I was going to say 'Nice Puppies Alison!' until I realised they were kittens, and that such a statement would be crass and insensitive, and would therefore have no place on this board.

However, the big question here is not tea or coffe - but surely the best possible dunking biscuit (with apologies to our Gluten-Free friends).

Here are my top 5 dunking biscuits, in order of preference -

1) Choccy Hobnobs
2) Bourbons
3) Shortbread
4) Rich Tea mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
5) Boasters

Awwwwgggghhhhhhhh! Stuck in a biscuit - free office with no hope of getting out - nightmare!

Has to be chocolate digestives at te moment. Again you have the air or danger , dip it in to quick jut isnt on, but too long and heaven forfend - the thing breaks ! Disaster !

get it at the optimum level and its pretty unbeatable.

I don't see any polls relating to drinking biscuits TTFC. But if you want to talk about biscuits I'm all for extending one of my threads into new and intellectually stimulating areas. So let's have a look at your biscuit choices. (People can also talk about cakes if they want to!)

Number one?!?! What a joke! Decent choice though, may make my top five.

OK, I can live with that, might only make my top ten though.

Get Lost! Horrible Stuff.

No idea what these are. Or are you trying to tell me that when someone comes into work - showing off their nice, virgin, shiny white, £75 Reebok trainers which go perfect with their crisp, new, twisted, blue and intentionally faded at the knees £80 Levis jeans - you pick them up, dip them in your tea and eat them! Pull the other one, you're having a laugh!

No idea what this means. Are you on drugs? Hallucinations, that's all it is? Stuck in a biscuit, what's all that about?

I cannot stand tea. To me, tea tastes like hot, dirty water. Not nice at all - even with sugar. Coffee isn't all that much better. I never used to drink coffee. I got into it at university, and then i'd take 3 sugars with it. I can not drink coffee without sugar; but generally try to only drink it when i'm tired - so that it will still have a caffeine effect.

However, a mocha is a very nice variation on coffee which I am quite partial to.

Now. In terms of biscuits. Not sure on dunk-a-bility; but has anyone tried a Jestive? Its a chocolate digestive with chocolate chips in it as well. Very tasty.

Now - here's another question. Milkshakes. I'm not talking about nesquik or crusha. Try this:

Take a blender/foodprocessor
Add 2-3 scoops of ice cream
Add chosen ingredients (depends on what flavours you like. You can add anything. Battenberg and jam doughnut work well, brownies or jestives also work nicely)
Top up to just below the one-pint marker with milk
Blend and then drink.
Very tasty

If you want to have some froth on the top, add some angel delight. It will make the milkshake thicker and bubblier.

Very nice for a hot day in summer. Coffee and tea are not nice for a hot day in summer.

Just a little update folks!

4 people out of 15 (26.67%) prefer their breath to keep everyone awake. Whereas 11 people out of 15 (73.33%) prefer the stuff talked of by chimps on the TV. As a tea drinker I'm glad to see such support for the Englishman's favourite brew.

How are people enjoying my "choice of two" polls? (That is the "Handedness" and "Beverage" polls). They are only there for a bit of fun, silly debate and as a bit of respite from your hard day's work as well as the arguments in other areas of the forum! I have a couple more polls to pose if anyone is interested!

Yes Andy! What a shout! I love Jestives, they are really nice, especially if you enjoy chocolate biscuits. They are brilliant, good call!

Good recipe, i'll have to try that at some point.

If I could work out how to do a poll I'd do a biscuit one, but I'm lazy / ignorant!

Boasters are giant choccy-chip cookies with massive Hazlenuts in them. They are 'donkey's knob'.

Hmmm, can't see this taking off in the office, when you have to get tea/coffee for 3 - 8 other lazy bastards who have lost the use of their hands!


Has anyone a strong opinion of Custard Creams or Pink wafers?
