10 Packets Of Biscuits That Are Very Important In England (Probably)

I'm really into biscuits. They're shiny, cheap and come in rectangular shaped packages that you can stack up to the top of the cupboard. No two biscuits are alike and you should try every single one to call yourself a true biscuit connoisseur. Here's some of the most important biscuits:

Digestive Biscuits

McVities / Via nadiashealthykitchen.com

A true classic. If you don't like this biscuit you shouldn't be allowed near other biscuits.

Custard Creams

Good To Know / Via goodtoknow.media.ipcdigital.co.uk

Another true classic but I won't mind so much if you don't like this biscuit. I'll eat it instead.

Maryland Biscuits

Maryland / Via bakesyartofbiscuitry.org

Maryland biscuits are basically chocolate cookies only tiny and in biscuit form. It's hard to find a company to rival Maryland's brand however, which is probably why you see these packets in every supermarket. I recently found one though - try Sainsbury's own brand!

Rich Tea Biscuits

Metro UK / Via wordpress.com

Rich tea is kind of like tea compared with coffee (if coffee was a digestive). While I love tea as much as the next British person coffee (or digestives) is clearly the superior being.

Jaffa Cakes

Metro UK / Via wordpress.com

Why yes it does say cake. Except only an idiot would ever call something this small a cake. Get me one I can smash my face into, then we'll argue.

Malted Milk Biscuits

I once went through a malted milk phase. They're just so... NICE. They always have a picture of a cow on them and I don't know why. And it's always THIS PICTURE.

Ginger Nut Biscuits

Hill Biscuits / Via hillbiscuits.com

You should break at least three teeth trying to bite through one of these or else it's a failure.

Party Ring Biscuits

Party Rings / Via wordpress.com

The staple of any British kid's birthday party to be honest. The owners of these biscuits have not so sneakily been making these biscuits smaller and smaller over the years, another victim of British price gouging.

Shortbread Fingers, Triangles And Other Things

Walkers / Via us.walkersshortbread.com

Shortbread is so good that it's not really part of the biscuit category but should still be in this post all the same because shortbread is amazing.

Coconut Rings

Iceland / Via groceries.iceland.co.uk

I know no-one that eats them but they're always there. They are nice though. The underdog of biscuits.
