Can't argue with that. Evenm the cheap shop's own brand ginger biscuits rock.
There are some flaws though, those weird tinned ones that look (and taste)
like soem papery composite, and the ones with a blob of jam as tough as
Torrseal, those take careful suspension of disbelief (and a friendly dentist
within easy reach too).


I think you mean 'Jammy Dodgers', dreadful things. Not to keen on
'Jaffa Cakes' either- too soft and glue like.

Fig Rolls are good. Someone I knew (not sure who it was) called them
'dead fly rolls' and I always chuckle when I have one.

Surely Garibaldi biscuits are the classical dead fly biscuits? Fig
rolls would be more macerated fly rolls.
