Arguing, I guess. Will set up a series of heats once we have all nominations in. Am tempted to add in Maryland cookies as they are crunchy like normal biscuits and not soft and chewy like traditional cookies.

If that's the case, TUC! Seriously, nobody calls them crackers IRL! :lol:

Biscuits = cookies = crackers

Cookies is just an American name, and next time you buy crackers at xmas it will probably say "Biscuits for cheese".

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

It may also be a Dutch name, but it means biscuit.

May I make a suggestion that all hob nobs are hob nobs. Should a biscuit work well with caramel, dark and milk chocolate then those are all considerations for voting for it.

But a biscuit's versatility should not be allowed to work against it in the ultimate voting system by diluting its votes amongst its varieties.

I'm trying to make it a fair universe where the deplorable and inaccurately named "Nice" biscuit (which doesn't go with anything) isn't allowed a voting advantage over a dependable biscuit such as the venerable hob nob.

Around the time of creating the list, I did a search of other biscuit polls and there appeared to be a differentiation between a hobnob and a chocolate hobnob - one that was larger than the difference between the milk/plain/dark choc varieties of digestive.

I would always go for a choc version of anything over the plain version and hence a choc digestive over a plain hobnob.

Let the voting do the deciding. I need more entries.

Essentially a form of shortbread biscuit with pictures of various sports on them. Made by Fox's.
