mottaloo Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 A digestive biscuit is great with a very strong (fowlers xxx cheddar if you can get it) as its sweetness offsets the sharpness of the cheese....in my opinion anyway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't understand why it seems to be a fairly minority interest cheese biscuit. Edited April 11, 2021 by sidcow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2021 Whenever I hear Water Biscuit, The Water Margin always springs to mind for me. Maybe because they both contain the word Water and are both shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were lucky! You usually had to make do with the parish priest. Ireland was very poor back in the day. We were just happy to have a slightly warm meal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
