Mate, you've clearly never had proper shortbread if you're putting it in C tier.
Get your sen up to Scotland and have some nice buttery crumbling shortbread.

Was going to say this. Shortbread should be at least A tier
Thats just national pride talking,
Personally I think Plymouth's Pasties are superior to all other pasties (Ron Dewney for the win) and love them. But a pasty can only be so good and I accept people wouldn't put it in a S tier for food.
Another example is Americans claiming Jack Daniels is the best whiskey.
Bloody hell, what did party rings ever do to you?
Also: oreo is ranked too high on the list. I know it's at the bottom. That's too high.
How's no one else kicking off about Jaffa Cakes being featured at the top of a biscuit tier list.
I was about to kick off about a Fig Roll not being a biscuit, but Wikipedia claims it is.
Consider my world shooketh.
The Jammy Dodger as S Tier is borderline criminal. To be fair, that should be solely reserved for the chocolate Hobnob.
You mean the dark chocolate hobnob, then you are correct.
A-F fuck me up. I owe it all to the glorious celiac disease. Rice corn cakes are the only solace.
My mum has that. They make gluten free honobs and those are really good, both the chocolate and plain kinds.
Hmm I'll have to look for those. Some gluten free food is vile, but some things are affordable and nice. Spaghetti feels like normal spaghetti for about 20-30p more. Bread is extortionate. I find myself living off rice and potatoes, trying to restock iron that I cant absorb.
There's some brands that do gluten free Digestives (non-chocolate) and cookies. I think it's Dove farm? They're ok...
Although gluten free bread is extortionate and vile, most other gluten free food is pretty good (but still extortionate).
I find it's a case of looking for things that are naturally gluten free and getting used to that. I used to eat mainly rice, pulses and veg, so I'm happy to keep these ;)
No mention of a Tunocks Caramel Wafer?
No, for the same reason KitKats are not listed. They're chocolate bars, not biscuits.
Maybe I'm too simple but I don't like any of the S row biscuits. Shortbread's the best
I can agree Oreos should be F tier, but my god how you can't put shortbread in S tier is beyond me!
On a more personal level, Rich Tea ain't shit without being dunked in your cuppa. F tier without, C tier with.
This is going to sound gross, but go with me.
Two Rich Tea biscuits, sandwiched together with Lurpak. No tea or anything else involved, just stuff it into your face.
Who are you who is so learned in the ways of science?
Oreos shouldn't even make the list.
Sainsbury's do strawberry custard creams. They would be off the top of this chart!
I'm listening!
You don't need to listen, just go and try some!
Better than that absolute rage-bait version that circulated a year or two ago, at least!
Also OP, crop your damn image!
There’s no way a chocolate finger is the same level as a rich tea.
So many omissions!
My favourites are Tuc, Lotus, and Lu.
Tucs are more like crackers. Not something you'd have with tea
no love for these?
S tier along with their brethren.
See the thing you've not considered about party rings though, is that there's nothing else quite like a party ring
Move jammie dodgers down to C and shortbread up to A and I'd agree with this
Maybe it's because I'm a big fat fatty, but to be they're all S tier, even Oreos, because you can get a whole pack for £1 and smash them in front of the telly in one sitting.
Jammy Dodgers, though, shouldn't be ranked top.
I was so confused until I realized this is the UK and you all love "biscuits" with tea.
Now you know how we feel every time we hear "biscuits and gravy"!
Both the US and UK define a biscuit as a small unleavened cake.
For some reason US folks call all but one type of small unleavened cakes "coookies" which is a specific type of biscuit.
It would be like calling all beer "stout".
Ahem, we like biscuits, you like "biscuits"
Ftfy
I like both
Your problem is you've never tried dipping the Oreos in milk or enjoyed splitting them in half with a friend hoping you get the creamy side. But I guess since this is casualUK you can substitute tea in a pinch.
Your problem is you haven't realised they're just shit bourbons.
I find the Custard Creams and Bourbons can do everything the Oreo can, whilst being nicer in the first place.
What I do like about Oreos, however, is due to their lower popularity, they often turn up in the "this is about to go out of date" shops for very low prices. They're perfectly fine when they're 10p a packet.
There are so much more types of cookies.
There are so many more types of biscuits.
It's casualuk after all.
Technically true, as the common chocolate-chip cookie is not featured on this list of biscuits.
True, but OP has picked a solid classic selection.
