Mate, you've clearly never had proper shortbread if you're putting it in C tier.

Get your sen up to Scotland and have some nice buttery crumbling shortbread.

[-] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Was going to say this. Shortbread should be at least A tier

[-] stevecrox@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thats just national pride talking,

Personally I think Plymouth's Pasties are superior to all other pasties (Ron Dewney for the win) and love them. But a pasty can only be so good and I accept people wouldn't put it in a S tier for food.

Another example is Americans claiming Jack Daniels is the best whiskey.

[-] merridew@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago

Bloody hell, what did party rings ever do to you?

Also: oreo is ranked too high on the list. I know it's at the bottom. That's too high.

[-] tkc@feddit.uk 10 points 1 year ago

How's no one else kicking off about Jaffa Cakes being featured at the top of a biscuit tier list.

[-] tkc@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

I was about to kick off about a Fig Roll not being a biscuit, but Wikipedia claims it is.

Consider my world shooketh.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago

The Jammy Dodger as S Tier is borderline criminal. To be fair, that should be solely reserved for the chocolate Hobnob.

[-] 9cpluss@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

You mean the dark chocolate hobnob, then you are correct.

[-] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

A-F fuck me up. I owe it all to the glorious celiac disease. Rice corn cakes are the only solace.

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My mum has that. They make gluten free honobs and those are really good, both the chocolate and plain kinds.

[-] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Hmm I'll have to look for those. Some gluten free food is vile, but some things are affordable and nice. Spaghetti feels like normal spaghetti for about 20-30p more. Bread is extortionate. I find myself living off rice and potatoes, trying to restock iron that I cant absorb.

[-] tkc@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

There's some brands that do gluten free Digestives (non-chocolate) and cookies. I think it's Dove farm? They're ok...

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Although gluten free bread is extortionate and vile, most other gluten free food is pretty good (but still extortionate).

[-] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I find it's a case of looking for things that are naturally gluten free and getting used to that. I used to eat mainly rice, pulses and veg, so I'm happy to keep these ;)

[-] ArbitraryMary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There’s no way a chocolate finger is the same level as a rich tea.

[-] ThankYouVeryMuch@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe I'm too simple but I don't like any of the S row biscuits. Shortbread's the best

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can agree Oreos should be F tier, but my god how you can't put shortbread in S tier is beyond me!

On a more personal level, Rich Tea ain't shit without being dunked in your cuppa. F tier without, C tier with.

[-] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

This is going to sound gross, but go with me.

Two Rich Tea biscuits, sandwiched together with Lurpak. No tea or anything else involved, just stuff it into your face.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Who are you who is so learned in the ways of science?

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Oreos shouldn't even make the list.

[-] AbeFroman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No mention of a Tunocks Caramel Wafer?

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No, for the same reason KitKats are not listed. They're chocolate bars, not biscuits.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Better than that absolute rage-bait version that circulated a year or two ago, at least!

Also OP, crop your damn image!

[-] floppy@rabbitea.rs 4 points 1 year ago

Sainsbury's do strawberry custard creams. They would be off the top of this chart!

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] floppy@rabbitea.rs 3 points 1 year ago

You don't need to listen, just go and try some!

[-] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

So many omissions!

My favourites are Tuc, Lotus, and Lu.

[-] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Tucs are more like crackers. Not something you'd have with tea

[-] MrRazamataz@lemmy.razbot.xyz 3 points 1 year ago
[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

S tier along with their brethren.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

See the thing you've not considered about party rings though, is that there's nothing else quite like a party ring

[-] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Move jammie dodgers down to C and shortbread up to A and I'd agree with this

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's because I'm a big fat fatty, but to be they're all S tier, even Oreos, because you can get a whole pack for £1 and smash them in front of the telly in one sitting.

Jammy Dodgers, though, shouldn't be ranked top.

[-] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I was so confused until I realized this is the UK and you all love "biscuits" with tea.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

Now you know how we feel every time we hear "biscuits and gravy"!

[-] stevecrox@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Both the US and UK define a biscuit as a small unleavened cake.

For some reason US folks call all but one type of small unleavened cakes "coookies" which is a specific type of biscuit.

It would be like calling all beer "stout".

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Ahem, we like biscuits, you like "biscuits"

Ftfy

[-] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I like both

[-] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Your problem is you've never tried dipping the Oreos in milk or enjoyed splitting them in half with a friend hoping you get the creamy side. But I guess since this is casualUK you can substitute tea in a pinch.

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Your problem is you haven't realised they're just shit bourbons.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

I find the Custard Creams and Bourbons can do everything the Oreo can, whilst being nicer in the first place.

What I do like about Oreos, however, is due to their lower popularity, they often turn up in the "this is about to go out of date" shops for very low prices. They're perfectly fine when they're 10p a packet.

[-] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 year ago

There are so much more types of cookies.

[-] blackbird@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There are so many more types of biscuits.

It's casualuk after all.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Technically true, as the common chocolate-chip cookie is not featured on this list of biscuits.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

True, but OP has picked a solid classic selection.
