I’m currently in a biscuit based dilemma. If I was a judge at the National Biscuit Awards the pressure of making this decision would probably lead me to suicide.
Why such a trauma?
Well, out of all the poncy biscuits there are in the world I’m usually unimpressed. They taste good, they taste nice, but a jaffa cake in foil is still a jaffa cake.
I have recently discovered the best biscuits there are… or so I thought. In the local Sainsburys they sell digestives, as is their wont. But the Sainsbury’s range have a new item. Chocolate Chip Digestives.
You mock. You all think you’ve had chocolate chip digestives before. I know, you’re thinking that these are as commonplace as chocolate covered digestives.
Think.
You’ve had chocolate chip biscuits, cookies and muffins. I’m not doubting this, I know you’ve all eaten them.
But chocolate chips…in a digestive?
Think harder. Now go and get some.
This biscuit is great for dunking, we all know the digestive’s superiority, but imagine eating your tea soked snack, with lots of bits of melty chocolate.
So easily the winner of the ficticious award.
But before I begin to sound like I’m a tongue swelling soul selling cunt llike Jamie Oliver it’s only fair I tell you of my discovery.
There is a pound shop on Chapel Market, near Angel Tube station. It has a shelf with biscuits, lots of multipacks of biscuits for a pound. But there is also a pack of dunkables…”An assortment of whole biscuits, biscuit mis-shapes ans part biscuits. Ideal for dunking in your favourite beverage”
It’s a big fucking packet…half a kilogram of biscuits.
For a pound
there’s jammie dodgers, fingers, nice biscuit, the posh ones with chocolate in the middle, party rings, coconut rings, chocolate chip cookies, bourbons, digestives…
The chocolate chip digestive maybe a better biscuit, but the sheer value and choise of the other is a tough contender.
I am now dreaming of the day when I find a chocolate chip digestive a box of dunkables.
