I can hear every Brit watching this crying out NO!!!! as you dunked the Cake and Fig Roll.
Lol 😂 yes I was one of them 🤣🏴🇬🇧
🤣🤣
I always dunked fig rolls. The newer ones are more cake-like than the older ones and not suitable.
@@baronmeduse I always dumped them in the bin🤣
I definitely dunk figrolls!!
Hi guys , who'd have thought watching two Americans dunking biscuits in tea would be entertaining 😀 🫖🍪
😂
A digestive plain is really good with a nice cheddar or a soft cheese
Agreed! With Philly and a nice crisp apple 🍏 🤤
I love digestives with irish salted butter on
Steve doesn't like cheese, sadly. 😞
This never even crossed my mind, but it sounds delicious
The Square shaped HOVIS digestives are Top Tier
We don't dunk cake in tea. You don't have to dunk in tea, if you're a coffee drinker or a hot chocolate drinker dunking biscuits is still good
Biscuits dipped in Cadbury Instant Hot Chocolate tastes alot more better than dipping the biscuits in tea!!
@@cjsvids8760biscuits = tea , always has been
We have a lot of biscuits that don't need to be dunked.
Urgh no dunking doesn’t work in coffee and chocolate? Heathen talk
Always take the spoon out of the cup as their is an ever present danger of it accidentally poking you in the eye !!
Now that you two are now officially Bikkie Dunkers you are sure to appreciate the hilarious TH-cam sketch of “Dipping your Biscuit Peter Kay” - it’s a science in itself of knowing your biscuit, how hot your tea is and the time that you dip it for 😂
A milk chocolate Hobnob dunked into a freshly made brew until the chocolate is just melting - delish ❤
hobnob the SAS of biscuits😂
The Peter Kay link. th-cam.com/video/KuqLqS5Xmz8/w-d-xo.html
Nooooooooooo its in me breeeeeewwwww
"Dip me again, AGAIN, DIP ME AGAIN!"
Muuuum!! Me biscuits fallen in me brew!
Not sure why watching people have tea and biscuits is entertaining but it is
😂 glad to hear it!
Loved the tasting guys, Lyndsey has REALLY come out of her shell, natural as heck!.
Try the digestives with butter on
@@johngoodison3160
And cheese (though Steve doesn't like cheese - sadly!)
Oooh, I agree. But DON'T dunk with butter guys
Oooh, I agree. But DON'T dunk with butter guys
To be honest Kelly, those guys dunked things I never would!.@@kelly6504
I love my tea strong, as my mother used to say “make my tea so you can trot a mouse across it”, she had some brilliant sayings.
Strong enough to stand the spoon up in it.
Me too 🙂
@@obijon7441 My tea eats the spoon.☕
In my house if tea is weak,we say its as weak as cats piss.....i've no idea where that saying came from😂.
Lol. My Dad used to call weak tea "Hot water browned off". He loved his tea strong and so do I.
You know Lyndsey is enjoying the food when she quickly reacts with a squeal of delight 😄
Haha very true!
Love Lynsey ❤in the British sense Steve not the American way, I can remember when I have been in the USA to visit my sister in Atlanta, i can remember saying to one of her friends “alright love”and she thought I was making a move on her 😳Lydia had to explain that it’s just a everyday greeting, and my husband called her husband mate and he said “have we met before “
One of many things we do quite well in the UK is biscuits and cakes......that and desserts!
@@scottneil1187 people are waking up to it now.
@ Steven you should send some Welsh cakes, delicious ❤
Yeah, apparently Britain and Japan are the two countries who have the largest stock of snacks of any other country. Did a course a few years back on food and it mentioned that. Lol
With lashings of cream. 😋
Such a fan of the two of you.... just remember, you don't need to 'dunk' everything ? 😊
I love digestives with cheese on them, it's the way cheese is often served up after a lovely meal instead of pudding or dessert (grapes too)
Me too, digestives are the very best biscuit for cheese
The word you're looking for is "tannic". Honestly, it really is pretty funny watching you guys make such a production out of a cup of tea. As a Brit, it's kinda like watching a TH-camr being like "alright guys, so today we're going to try breathing".
Nothing better than tea and biscuits for elevenses 😉
Galaxy orange digestives: break in half, the two chocolate sides facing each other, dunk the whole lot, stick it all in your mouth, food of the gods.
That’s genius! 😮
Did you hear the one about the guy who went blind from drinking tea? He kept forgetting to take the spoon out of his cup! 😂🇦🇺
hehe 😂
i laughed too hard at this
I'm glad you appreciate tea with biscuits , don't worry it's not compulsory but nice to have another option if you want a sit down break .
If you get over the pond, you must try a cream tea! It will blow your mind. A proper cream tea has scones with jam and clotted cream. A full afternoon tea would also include small crustless sandwiches, maybe cocktail sausage rolls and mini pork pies with chutney. So many new things for you to try!
This was one of your most entertaining vids guys. Lyndsey's face is magic when she relly likes something. It has also proven that no matter how long you have been married you can still surprise each other. Lyndsey's shock when you put the Galaxy Orange biscuits in first place was classic. Love you guys.
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.
(Lidl is pronounced like 'liddle')
Lots of US recipes ask for Graham Crackers. Nearest thing to that in the U.K. is the digestive
Tea should be the colour of he man’s face.
Haha I say think “liddle donkey” 🤣🙌🏼
You picked a good tea there Yorkshire tea is one of the best, I guarantee if you have a few more cups you'll be hooked, good video again guys enjoy your day.
Yorkshire tea or ringtons are the best without doubt, stronger the better for me, served up with ginger biscuits 😋
😊😊I like Fig Rolls when you take a bite,chew,then have a mouthful of tea
I love the look on your faces when you taste something you like! I'm a Brit who doesn't like tea but i love biscuits!!!!!!!!
Did you eat biscuits while uploading videos of Dennis Skinner? Your name is a blast from the past.
most probably!!!
@@geoffpoole483
That’s a brave admission! 😂
For future reference, there is a ratio of biscuits to a cup of tea/coffee.
It’s one packet per cup, anyone who says different isn’t English 😉
Best reaction you are both living up to Reacting to My Roots …. dunking biscuits and pre-made cakes is so Brit 👏👏👏👏
Think Lindsay is a Brit at heart ☕️
My friends husband is like you Steve not liking coffee or tea but he will make a cup of tea just to dip biscuits. 😂
im in the uk and i prefer coffee these days... i used to prefer tea.. but yes if i know im having biscuits its tea im making with it
@@jaynadiah5498Choccie bikkies go well with coffee. They add a bit of a mocha twist.
Love your cup, with the spoon holder !😊
Lindsay found it at the thrift store awhile back and was pretty excited about it 😂
Lindsay and Steve, thank you for being 'You'.
Steve's going to be a tea addict soon 😂
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.
I like using ginger biscuits as a biscuit base :)
Depending on the filling for your tart you can use almost any biscuit
biscuits are biscuits - cookies are cookies lol - Steve has his dunkin game on point here
Biscuits are biscuits - cookies are cookies and Jaffa cakes are biscuits
Are cakes* 😂@@HillWalker-ws7tx
@@lanah939 legally!!!
Your autocorrect is shocking lol 😂
We used to do that with my grandparents and if your biscuit fell in, you still have the drink the tea.
There’s an English comedian, Sarah Millican , who always jokes than fig rolls count as part of her five a day!!!
Lyndsey has already “crossed The Pond”
The big question is: will Steve reach for the kettle next time he reaches for the biscuits??
I reckon he won’t be able to help himself. It is contagious🤣
I’m a Brit that doesn’t like tea in any form! I’m a coffee girl…..but the only biscuit I dunk is a ginger biscuit! Don’t want my biscuits damp or soggy lol! 😂
ginger biscuits dunked in coffee = awesome! also take the longest to dunk due to hardness (depending on brand).
Ginger Biscuits with cream cheese spread on them. Fantastic. Like mini cheesecakes.
Dunking biscuits in coffee also works. Coffee in the morning. Tea from midday onwards. Yummy 😋
We have small crunchy biscuits with chocolate chips in which we call cookies and also large soft cookies with chocolate chips 🌞
Brit here and never seen a chocolate covered custard cream!
nor had I yet I order fro M&S online, will be ordering some soon.
I was 😮 what chocolate covered creams. I will be there as the store opens tomorrow
Well they’re delicious! 😂
@@reactingtomyroots have ordered mine tonight cannot wait
@@susansmiles2242 did you manage to get them? and if so what did you think of them
US food stores need to watch some of these videos. There is obviously a hidden market in America for British biscuits. They should import more of them.
The dark chocolate digestives crunched up make a great chocolate pie crust!
Oh yeah 😊
Nearly any biscuit makes a good pie/flan crust
In the rest of the English speaking world, Graham is pronounced “gray-um”, a name of Scottish origin.
Yeah, for some reason those in the US never really seem to manage to pronounce either Graham/Graeme or Craig properly…both names of Scottish origin and both used as first and surnames.
Rule number 1... Never expect an American to pronounce a word correctly.
Hmm okay! 😂
@@Owen7070true 😂
Not true, Graham Norton, a British tv show host, pronounces his name like it is pronounced in the US.
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.
Tea= steep it as long as you want to taste
Milk=add as much or as little to taste
Sugar=add as much or as little to taste, the average is approx 2 teaspoons❤
I buy chocolate digestives from Aldi because they’re cheap. When I win the lottery, it’ll be McVities every time ❤🇬🇧
Watching them actually have tea with the biccies and dipping the biscuits is so satisfying 😂 double satisfying having tea and biccies while watching
People dunking biscuits actually makes me gag a little. Yes I'm British but it isn't for everyone.
@@Kittyburgla each to their own but I love it personally but also hand in your British card for this biscuit blasphemy 🤣
@@Kittyburglayes my grandma used to dunk,and I’m 75, my grandma has been dead for over 50 years ❤
The way Americans say Graham as Gram always tickles me, I'm always thinking about how many Americans have their name written as Gram on their birth certificate because of this
Same as Craig as Creg
@@lazarus5609 That one stands out, though in Gaelic languages and Welsh it actually sounds like Creg.
I find it funny how they say nootella ☺️ it's called Nutella because it contains nuts! 😆
@scattyfi ikr. Never hear them say "do you want some peanoots" 😂
I can never understand why they can’t pronounce it properly. 😂
Belmont is Aldi's own brand, they made the logo to look like mcvities. Lots of aldi brands logos in the uk look like market leaders logos to 'reassure' people.
Nutella is Italian made by Ferrero, they make kinder too.
Yes I don’t get this! They get away with mimicking big brands,yet Tesco had to remove/change their club card reduction sticker because it was yellow like the Lidl logo! 🤷♀️
Thanks for the Belmont info...I guessed they might be an Irish Brand 🎩😂
Belmont biscuits are gross full stop
A cookie is a type of biscuit.
A cake is a cake, not a biscuit 😁
I've not heard the word, 'steeped', in a long time. From a colloquial perspective, I'm used to the term, 'mashed', when referencing the brewing process of tea.
'Mashed' is correct, as far as I'm concerned.
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’.
I'm Scottish and only ever heard the word "steeped" being used in that context lol, totties are mashed😂
And if you brew too long it ‘stews’, not sure if that’s regional though.
I use 'mash' when I'm makin' a cuppa, but also used mash when I'm making creamed spuds. It's a 'thing' for me to mix lingoes 🤣😂
Fig rolls ,most definitely fit in the biscuit category in the UK
A Cookie is a type of biscuit, biscuit is literally french for twice baked, you guys do this thing all the time where you call items by a brand or variety of them. Like how you call all hot tubs jacuzzi's. My friends family in south carolina call all carbonated drinks 'cokes'. popsicle is a type of ice pop, thermos is a type of flask, kleenex is a brand of tissue, you call plasters band aids which is brand, even dumpster a very american word is for a brand of bin.
another thing that would blow your mind is how cheap they are too, those big packs of cookies are like £1 to £1.50. Every supermarket or bakier will have fresh ones too, i can get a pack of 5 fresh made cookies for £1, you can get a pack of like 12 cookies in lidl for 37p. None of these products are expensive or 'high quality' to us haha.
So this is turning out to be one of my favourite things to watch… American people dunking British biscuits into British tea… I never knew I needed this in my life!! You’ve both become such naturals! Much love from across the pond
Edit: I don’t mean to sound patronising by saying you’ve become naturals at it… what I mean by that is, I’ve seen some people dunk their biscuits for way too long, and it breaks off and falls into the tea. You guys seem to just know the right amount of time to keep it in there before disaster happens!!
Nutella is a product of Ferrero (Italian) all kinder, Ferrero rocher and tic-tac are all Ferrero 😊
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.
yes for a cheesecake base digestives work well.
@@scottneil1187 with something else. Not everywhere in the world has digestive biscuits you know.
Grandma wilds factory is in my village and it smells amazing all the time. Not sure how far across the UK their products sell but definitely need to visit West Yorkshire and try a grandma wilds bakery.
I love Grandma Wilds biscuits and buy some whenever were up in Yorkshire. They are very, very more-ish 😋😋
Great video guys. I love the galaxy orange digestives they are good but fox's are also one of my favourite brands for biscuits! We don't dip everything in tea especially not cakes 😆 i have never dipped a fig roll either.
Hello, Italian here, Nutella biscuits are not specifically a British product, Ferrero is the manufacturer of the Nutella and Kinder brands and is Italian. 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. Check Ferrero on Wikipedia for more infos.
Yes they are but us brits love Nutella, in cake, on toast, I spread it on rich tea biscuits 😋
@@louisemorris3476 it’s really good in French toast too! Big wedge of brioche - cut a slit in the middle of one side and either spread it inside with a knife or piping bag, then dunk in French toast custard, pan fry in a touch of butter and then straight after it comes out the pan flip it in a bowl of cinnamon sugar - churro style Nutella filled French toast - INSANE!! 🙌🏼 you’ll never want pancakes for breakfast after trying that let’s put it that way! 🤣🙌🏼
like I have said before ... Biscuit translates to "twice baked", hence why they are dry and need to be dunked to get the best out of them.
Correct, Lynsey Nutella is Italian. If you can get the original Nutella spread, try it on some lightly toasted wholemeal bread matched with a cup of cocoa or coffee. Delicious and warming on a cold morning .
its origins is italy but the products are made around the world with varied ingriedients in various locations
On crepes with sliced bananas yum 😋
Cookies here (Ireland & UK) cookies are what you would call choc chip.. they are a type of biscuit like a digestive or a shortbread or custard cream.
Though, like most varieties here, there a many different takes on how they are made
McVities digestives and chocolate digestives are much better than the cheaper brands like Belmont, I rate those Belmont ones very low, basically cheap and nasty, it's McVities everytime for me. Cadbury's chocolate digestives are also delicious but are expensive too. Tesco own brand digestives are also pretty good. McVities also make the best fig rolls. I also love the Cadbury's signature biscuit collection, which is an assortment of nine different types of chocolate biscuits in milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate varieties, simply delicious. I also love the Cadbury's chocolate Roundie biscuits which are chocolate covered wafer biscuits, they come in milk chocolate (delicious) and white chocolate (I haven't tried those). There are literally hundreds of different types of biscuits available in the supermarkets, every type and flavour variety you can think of.
@@scottneil1187 ... Definitely not the same thing, you just need to look at the ingredients of the cheaper ones to see that.
Lidl liddle
You can crush plain digestives for a biscuit base in recipes
To be truly british, its Dunking, not dipping ;)
I would dunk most of those in tea, though i drink instant coffee and do the same.
You should make a list and add a 1 - 10 rating as you do the test., rate the first item about half way.
I was wondering if you guys would do an April Fools video... Lindsay, in a baseball cap, taking the lead with "Welcome back guys, my name is Lindsay and this is my husband Steve..... today we're trying a bunch of everyday American snacks!" 🤣
Growing up in the 1960s nearly all the children drank tea, but once I got to 17/18 I switched over to cofffee and for me Milk Chocolate Buiscuits / Cookies. Even on my many twice yearrly trips over to the USA (1998 to 201) I nearly always drank coffee, unless my American Friends had bought Tea just because they knew Brittish drink Tea. Tony in Essex, approx 35 miles North East of London.
Aye, to this day we refer to baby tea if folk like it weak with loads of milk. It wasn't unusual to see weans in buggies with a bottle of tea.
You should try Twinings Extra Strong Breakfast Blend Tea...sets you up for the day!
I find Twinnings tea is quite flavourless.
Try a little butter then cheese/chedder on digestive!!!
Blue cheese is really nice with digestive especially castillo or Stilton
I like peanut butter on my digestives, with cheese
The most famous dunking biscuit is probably Rich Tea. Similar to a Graham cracker. They dont need more than barely a couple of seconds to dunk, otherwise they'll fall apart . So one to have a teaspoon on hand to fish it out 😅
Theres also a similar variant to use in coffee called Morning Coffee
Spread a little Nutella between 2 rich tea or morning coffee biscuits before you dunk 😋
Rich tea fingers are my favourite dunking biscuits. Always better if you reinforce them by dunking 3 at a time 😂
Ginger biscuits are my favourite for dunking
@@michellesmith1349
I dunk gingernuts in Diet Coke.😊❤
Rich tea are suicide biscuits,
Not worth the risk dunking
Mcvities are the best Digestive biscuits for sure. I prefer the plain.
Shortbread are gorgeous!
Steve likes Tea! Yep, once you get the tea bug, it sticks.
I don’t normally eat chocolate chip biscuits unless there are no other options.
Dunking makes biscuits change so much and it’s a different experience.
Lyndsey, PLEASE can you make some choc chip cookies and give us the recipe? I’m not a baker but I would like to try your take.
I love dark chocolate so much. Not so much dunked though.
Great video xxx
Suzie in London 🇬🇧
Great idea for a video, Suzie! Hope you’re well 😊
❤ I drink Yorkshire Gold tea, but *without* milk _and_ *without* sugar.
(& No sweeteners!)
Yorkshire Gold is the best. Milk no sugar for me. Tea is naturally sweet to me
@@scottneil1187 I gave up sugar in tea years ago and now I can’t stand sweet tea.
I am a McVities digestive fan, no others will do. Yes you can use them for biscuit crust half weight butter to biscuit ratio. One of my top biscuits is McVities Rich Tea, I have suffered from a debilitating chronic problem since 2017. 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. Favourite choc. chip cookies are Maryland. My favourite tea -Yorkshire of course. I used to love coffee too, but my system no longer does. You can also eat Digestive with cheese, not my taste. Also it's as Linsay said Lid-ll. Be careful you two you're becoming anglosized 😂😂❤❤👵🏴🌹🌹🌹
I tried those M&S chocolate coated custard creams a couple of months ago... absolute filth in the best way possible! I am too scared to go into M&S now in case I buy more packets.
😂😅😂
You have some store own brands in there, which are usually cheap substitutes of the branded items. Belmont? Never heard of them.
Not true. You can identify the differences in taste. Cheaper versions. Butter and spreads maybe, but other things???@@scottneil1187
Belmont biscuits , cookies ,bread etc,, are an Aldi brand.
Belmont are an Aldi brand...currently a 400g pack costs £0.55p...McVities Digestives, same size pack (400g) is £1.90p not far off four times the price. Probably get what you pay for, I guess...but to be fair, we get the Belmont Milk Chocolate Digestives regularly and I like those, probably got used to them. They're 77p for 300 grams whereas the McVities version are £1.90p for 266 grams.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but McVities shrink-flation has cut them to 360g for plain for the same price!
@@scottneil1187 how come the ingredients are different?
Digestives make a great cheese cake base
50/50 with gingernuts👌
60/40 gingernuts and amaretti if you’re doing a lime one
Brit: Wouldn't touch some of those with a barge-pole. Chocolate coated custard creams? Yuk!
Ah, but Colin, "not just any Chocolate coated custard creams, but M&S Chocolate coated custard creams". 😁
Steve, you need to allow the biscuit to absorb the tea your dunking too fast😁
have you tried ginger biscuit yet
Ginger Nuts are my favourite biscuits. Bloody love them 😋😋😋😋😋🏴🇬🇧
The brand BORDER'S is leading the charge with Ginja bikkyz
From my experience cookies in the UK specifically refers to biscuits with chocolate chips! Also yes its either aldi or lidl that carries that brand of digestives 😊
Aldi!
Tea and biscuits are dangerous. If you eat biscuits on their own probably 3 or 4 but if your dunking those biscuits disappear quick😂
Cant go wrong with a nice cuppa Yorkshire tea its one of the best , Welsh brew and Thompsons Punjana tea are up there aswell x
Hot tea on a hot day is somehow really cooling.
2000 years of Chinese philosophy agrees with you.
In Chinese food philosophy tea is classed as Yin drink, which means it has a nett cooling effect.
Coffee and chocolate are Yang drinks, which has a nett warming effect.
Good morning.everyone
Steve clearly likes his tea strong like me.
How strong do you want your tea?
“I want to see that spoon stand up”
Sometimes called ‘builders brew’ in the UK
Best digestive biscuit is the Doves Farm organic digestive biscuits
A bit sweeter and far superior
I use 2 teabags per mug, no sugar and just a splash of milk!👩🏼🍳😘
@@stephaniehamilton6217 I thought I was the only one that used two teabags for one cuppa... extra strong is the way to go 👍🏼 Good choice on profile pic as well 🔴⚪⚫
The secret to eating fig rolls is that you have to take them out of the packet several hours before you intend to try them. Hold it gently by one corner. Dip it very briefly in to a freshly made, piping hot cup of tea. Hold it vertically in front of your mouth and then, in a very dramatic manner, take it and dump it in the bin. Return to your tea and choose a better biscuit. you deserve better than a fig roll.
As so often is the case M&S (Marks & Spencers) spoil a perfectly good thin (Custard Creams) by making them "Luxury" by adding a chocolate coating. They did the same with some of their sandwiches and other items.
Covering a sandwich with chocolate.....ergghhh!!!
Only two minutes for tea.% - 6 minutes is a lot better.
Fig rolls are biscuits.
And nasty!! 🤨
Ok... Which cheapskate sent the Aldi Belmot and Towergate Lidl biscuits? 🙄
It makes my heart happy to see you both enjoying tea and biscuits.
Belmont Biscuits are Aldi branding, however they are actually made in the same factory as McVities. They just change some of the ingredients to make it more of a budget affordable version. Its suprising the amount of copy brands that are actually made by the same factories as the major brands
Love these videos so much. You guys are adorable! 🥰
Any digestive has to be Mcvities.
You definately need McVities digestives, not cheap looky-likies such as towergate or belmont. You wont get the true superior biscuit experience
The best combo is a penguin bar bite one of each corner and drink tea through it just all melts and so good
Haha the Aussies would call that a TimTamSlam 🙌🏼
Works well with Cadburys chocolate fingers too!
There's nothing better than a nice hot cup of tea after a Full English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh fried breakfast, or after Fish and Chips, to take the grease out of your mouth and help wash the fatty food down.
Tea quenchs thirst, coffee often doesn't, it's dehydrating and can make you thirstier.
Dipping biscuits in tea is a test of your nerves... how long are you willing to dunk for the perfect absorbency before risking your dunk ending up at the bottom of your mug.😊
Imagine this pair with Rich Tea biscuits. 😅
@@EarthlyEden1 You're an adrenalin junky if you play Russian roulette with and a Rich Tea....
Yorkshire Tea, now we're doing this properly.
The Nutella biscuits aren't British but they are one of my favourites!
How long to dunk makes a big difference, and it's really a matter of experience with your preferred biscuit and drink how long is right.
I miss going me nans house and opening the biscuit tin with a brew and chilling. RIP Nan ❤❤
The plain digestives make a good base for cheese crackers. A good spread of butter and a nice cheese on them is amazing
Try that with a slice of pickled beetroot on top of the cheese with a sprinkle of black pepper, my favourite.
I like digestive biscuits (don't eat them very often), but may have crackers, or crispbakes (with or without margarine) topped with cheese spread and apple sauce on top. Have tried plain soft cheese on top of scotch pancakes with apple sauce on top. Plain soft cheese or fruit yoghurt works well as a substitute for cream on top of scotch pancakes or scones. Especially if you have a creamy tasting yoghurt.
