    In this video we try an assortment of British biscuits. Join us as we do a taste test of 10 varieties of popular British biscuits and cakes and get the full Brit experience by dunking these treats in mugs of hot Yorkshire tea. These were amazing! One type of Biscuit was so delicious I actually rated it a 9.5, which almost never happens. Can you guess which brand it was?
    The British biscuits and cakes we tried are:
    Nutella Biscuits
    Tower Gate Fig Rolls
    M&S All Butter Shortbread
    Galaxy Digestive Biscuits
    Galaxy Cake Bars Chocolate
    Cadbury Cookies Milk Chocolate
    Belmont Biscuits Original Digestives
    Belmont Biscuits Dark Chocolate Digestives
    Grandma Wild's All Butter Shortbread Melts
    M&S Milk Chocolate Coated Custard Creams

    Everyone has their own preferred strength of tea - there are lots of memes showing multiple cups of tea in the style of a paint colour chart, asking 'how do you take yours?'.
    A lot of people eat plain digestive biscuit with cheese (obviously not dunking them).
    In the UK most large, softer doughed, chocolate chip cookies are store's own brand, often cooked in the in-store bakery. You usually buy a bag of 4-5 cookies. There are various 'hard chocolate chip cookies' like the one you tried today made by various brands.

    Lindsay (sp?) - Digestives are PERFECT for a chessecake / key lime pie etc. Mix with melted butter, pack in the tin, level it off and refrigerate / bake depending on the recipe. It's pretty much the go to biscuit for this like your Graham Crackers. You can use the chocolate ones as a base for a chocolate silk pie or cheesecake.

    Hi guys loving the video's. One thing I notice when some Americns attempt to make tea is they don't use "Boiling" water. Hot water that has boiled isn't going to work properly to infuse the tea. The water needs to be brought to a rolling boil and then imediatel y added too the tea bag that's in your mug. Using just hot water that has gone off the boil will result in an insipid flavourless liquid.

      My Auntie Ivy is from Lincolnshire and she was the first person I heard say “mashed” the tea. Being from Lancashire this sounded mad to me. I was only about 10 at the time but it was simply wrong as far I was concerned. Potatoes are mashed and tea is brewed! Children are very literal and don’t examine etymology but to be honest at 62 in my heart I still think it ‘pots fer rags’.

    Hobknobs are the SAS of biscuits,they soak up a lot of tea.My favourit at the moment are the Biscoff malted biscuits and are sweet and you have to be quick to dunk them.Digestives can be used as a biscuit base for cheesecake with enough meted butter to cement the biscuit crumbs together,then in the fridge for a couple of hours ,then add the cheesecake mix,then the fruit topping. Ilike my Yorkshire tea strong,so the spoon stands up on its own

And they make great bases for cheese cakes.

    There is no VAT on cakes and biscuits here, unless the biscuit has chocolate on it, then can be taxed, A company that makes Jaffa Cakes had to go to court and prove that Jaffa Cakes are not biscuits and didn't need tax, they showed that a cake starts soft and gets hard when it goes stale, but a biscuit starts hard and goes soft when its stale. They won the case, that's how you can tell the difference.

Ferrero, is an Italian multinational company with headquarters in Alba, Italy. Ferrero is a manufacturer of branded chocolate and confectionery products, and the second biggest chocolate producer and confectionery company in the world. It's a private company owned by the Ferrero family, it was founded on 14 May 1946 in Alba, Piedmont, Italy, by Pietro Ferrero, a confectioner and small-time pastry maker who laid the groundwork for Nutella.

    In my opinion, not every biscuit needs to be dunked. some just need to be eaten and accompanied with a slurp of tea.
    There is an art to dunking, knowing how long you dunk for before the biscuit drops off into your brew!
    We don't generally have afternoon tea every day, but a cuppa and biscuits mid morning , late afternoon or late evening is popular.

When I am having an attack I can't eat for up to 2 weeks, but when I do I start on Rich Teas. When a child, 70 yrs ago, a treat was Bourbon biscuits. Yes I like custard creams, Arrowroot, Marie, Nice and of course really good Shortbread. I used to really love Peak Freans Lincoln and Shortcake biscuits, but they are no more.
