Dunking

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

First of all, I must apologise for how long it has been since I last blogged. My only excuse is that it has been a very dry couple of weeks in the office for biscuits.

Maybe it’s the credit crunch contributing to the lack of crunch in the office.

Anyway, in the absence of new, interesting biscuits to write about I have thought of something very important to discuss – dunking.

A Good Week

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

It’s been a good week for biscuits in the office.

I thought things were looking bright when a packet of chocolate Hob Nobs appeared on Wednesday but little did I know things were set to get even better…

The Tragic Tale of Travis

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

“I’m still a cookie-holic, you can hide ‘em, I’m-a find ‘em, on the counter, in the closet, and I’ll say I ain’t do it with my face covered in chocolate.”

These words, from a soon-to-be-hit pop song, highlight the plight of a biscuit obsessed madman (no, not me).

Savoury Biscuits and Clown Doctors

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

Biscuits – a sweet treat that gives you a little sugar boost to help you through the day. Right?

Not necessarily. Biscuits can be savoury too and last week I found that there is a huge and unexplored world of salty, cheesy and herby biscuits waiting to be discovered.

Biscuits of the Stars

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

We all like biscuits - even the rich and the famous.

So while glossy magazines cover all other aspects of celebrity life, from their holidays with their ridiculously named spawn to their fluctuating waistlines, I want to concentrate on the only thing that really matters.

What are the stars’ favourite biscuits?

The Global Biscuit Revolution

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

A cup of tea and a biscuit. Few things are more quintessentially English – or are they?

It seems in our modern, multi-cultural society even the biscuit is being brought into the 21st century by influences from abroad.

Are New Biscuits All Rubbish? No!

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

New biscuits are almost always rubbish.

There is a very good reason why almost all the best selling biscuits (Digestives, Hob Nobs, Jaffa Cakes (don’t start), Garibaldis, Bourbons etc) have been around for ages – it’s because all the best ideas have been taken.

That’s what I though until the other day when I was taken by surprise in the supermarket.

Guilt Free Biscuits

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

First of all, biscuit lovers, I must apologise for the lack of recent blogs.

Among many reasons, including the busy world of news in Bracknell allowing me little biscuit eating time this week, is that I have been conducting a scientific experiment.

Britain's Best Biscuit?

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

One of my aims in this blog is to find out what the best biscuit in the world is.

I thought it would take years. But this week I found a website that reckons it has the answer.

The Tax Payer's Biscuit

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

Free biscuits are one of the things that make life worth living.

When you get somewhere and find the fabled ‘complimentary biscuit’ it is truly a joyous occasion.

My personal favourite complimentary biscuit is what I like to call the ‘tax-payer’s biscuit’.

What's a biscuit?

Mmmm! Bracknell's best biscuits

The Oxford dictionary defines a biscuit as: “a small unleavened cake, usually flat and crisp and often sweet.”

This, although accurate, does not do the biscuit justice.
