Yeah. The biscuits section have those odd powderyness and there's something not quite right about the processed creamy bit in the middle.

Give me a hobnob any day.

Prefer Bourbons, which aren't massively different. I must admit when i tried them i was actually disappointed, because apart from McDonald's, Chicken and Hershey's, it's all yanks eat and they seem to love them for whatever reason. Do they have more calories than normal biscuits?

I tried some Oreos brought back from the state many years ago and thought they were amazing.

When they bought them out over here they weren't quite the same, probably me getting older or something like that. I still like them though.

From some very quick google research. 100g Hobnobs contains 476 calories Source (http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/calories-in-food/bakery-products/McVities-HobNob-Biscuits.htm).

Whilst 100g (well 99g) if Oreos contains 480 calories. Pretty close. Source (http://www.trackyourdiet.com/nutritional-information/item51457.aspx)

My dad used to bring me back some whenever he used to go to America for work. I think that now I've grown up a bit I've got a much more sophisticated biscuit palate.

I went to America when i was about 10, and fell in love with their cookies. My old chap used to frequent America and would occasionally bring me some back. I used to love putting them in the microwave for about 30 seconds and making them soft. They were the bollocks. Cookies Ahoy, i think they were.

Soft Batch cookies from the US of A are the bollocks.  Other than that there biscuit and general confectionary is not up to much, a bit like the beer.  They do a good steak though.

You're right. Their beer is horrid, there "chocolate" (Hersheys) tastes like it was made entirely from chemicals and always makes me think of that shit on friends. Mockolate. :D

Cadbury's is the best in the world

Dairy Milk is the shit, but i very slightly prefer Galaxy , although there's almost nothing between them. I could eat chocolate as my main food source. With ease.

I'm not fussed about chocolate, never buy it really, although a creme egg or two has been known to disappear in my presence.

I would agree with you if you drank Budweiser, Miller Lite, Coors Lite and all that other cheap watery shit that your average Redneck chucks down his throat.

However, America has an extremely large number of Micro Breweries, chucking out some really palatable ales. Bells Brewery from Michigan and Breckenridge from Denver being two in particular.

So don't generalise when you don't know what you're talking about  :wink:

Sam Adams was fine for me.

As for biscuits, Prinzen Choco totally rule. (German I think).
