It's no wonder they put a picture of the Clifton Suspension Bridge on the cover, it's a back entry with one house up it. Daughter used to live two streets away and the name always amused me, I didn't know it's relevance until you posted though. I looked up the album and it's full of gut wrenchingly twee artists

I'm convinced someone used to make chocolate covered Garibaldi biscuits when I was young. I have yet to discover whether this was a figment of my imagination. Why they aren't a thing now also perplexes me

Also on this subject what the Americans call biscuits are scones. I presume they changed the name because they didn't know how to say it correctly

The biscuits are not stamped at all, the dough is pushed into a mould and the mould releases the biscuits topside (the imprinted side) up. Think of a jelly mould, how do you release that? Anyway, those are chocolate caramel digestives and therefore irrelevant

Yes, I know this but thanks for killing the fun.

Well ok, cookies tend to be softer than biscuits (ignore those shite Maryland Cookie things by whoever makes then as they are rock hard). The soft bit is important because the etymology of the word is either from Dutch or Gaelic (Scottish version) and both of those words it derives from are to do with cake and not biscuits. But that is all I got

The chocolate is on the bottom of the biscuit. Look at the picture. The side with the bevelled edge and the makers imprints is the top. The chocolate is on the bottom.

In a world where fish and gravy is an acceptable combination, maybe. You continue to be a culinary monster

We've talked about biscuits before but they really do deserve their own thread being the food of the gods that they are. So to start the debate, a question. Is the chocolate on the top or the bottom of a McVities Chocolate Digestive?

Cheesy! But in all seriousness, that place might just have made it onto a list

I suppose but I still think in reality the word has taken on its own life and become what it has become. I think it gets used far more these days in the nonsense sense than it does about testicles
