    We definitely don’t call them that.

    Also we have Bourbon Biscuits which are just lovely.

      Yeah that British person was trying to wind up OP.

      Bourbons shit all over oreos too, oreos are perhaps the most overrated biscuit out there.

        Oreos are horrible, over baked and hard tasteless pucks of biscuit with a lump of fat in the middle. Custard Creams piss all over them.

        Calling any cookie a biscuit gives me the urge to buy a musket and tricorn hat

          Calling scones biscuits and eating them with savory meals makes me want to ship all our criminals to Georgia again.

          I’m custard cream till I die. Bourbons are the duller biscuit. Naturally, as a minor and inconsequential personal preference, I will fight to the death all who disagree.

          Can we really call the Oreo cream custard if there’s no egg or milk, tho? Or are you talking about a 3rd thing and I completely misunderstood?

            Bourbons and custard creams are possibly the two biggest sandwich biscuits in the UK, bourbon is basically a chocolate variant of the custard cream.

      Someone really needs to start making actual bourbon biscuits.

      Like, yeah, they’re the best and all that. But, what if I need that bit of something to get me through the day? I can’t have a drink at 9 am because it’s frowned upon. But a biscuit? Yeah, that’s calm.

        If only drinking wasn’t frowned upon. Why is the only time I can have a pint at 6am is if I’m in the airport?

        I mean that costs so much more money! 😂

      If there’s no hobnobs, no custard creams, no bourbon, no fly cemeteries, no Garibaldis, no choccy digestives

      I’d still rather eat a pink wafer before an Orio

      They’re like the biscuit equivalent of beige

      Thank you, I remember being young and trying them for the first time excited as American culture had bigged them up no end, and they turned out to be bland as anything and nothing on a custard cream.

    The part I’m most offended by is thinking Oreos are chocolate. I know chocolate, and you, Oreo, are no chocolate

    The fact that the US considers Oreos edible is enough reason to resist US neocolonialism.
