Biscuits...

For lunch I had some rather nice club sandwiches from M&S and a bag of their own proprietary version of hula hoops. I followed that with a couple of bananas.

I am not hungry, but I find myself fighting off the urge to nip across the way to buy some expensive and unnecessary biscuits. Preferably chocolate biscuits. Belgian chocolate biscuits. With orange crème in them. I have over an hour and a half before I go home; this will be a struggle. I have apples and bananas in the office and they are looking at me accusingly with their vegetably x-ray eyes from my desk drawer, I know they are.

But the siren call of the Belgian chocolate biscuits with orange crème filling is strong…

I've never quite understood just what a 'club sandwhich' is as opposed to a 'sandwhich'.

Can you elucidate ?

I think it is a double sandwich with 3 layers of bread, so double fillings.

At least the thing I scoffed was!

Oreo "cookies" here are yummy, but honest-to-goodness choccy biccies seem to be beyond the colonials' abilities. The king of choccy biccies has to be the mighty McVities Chocolate Digestive.

Mind you, those Belgian orange-filled wotsits sound gnice too.

Oreos are evidence that the devil truly does exist.

They taste fantastic, are beyond moreish - once you have opened a pack you have to eat them all. It's the law. And they are incredibly bad for you.

Mini oreos are available in small tubs over here and they are beyond tempting. Happily I haven't seen the full size ones here yet. As it is I can just about walk past them in the supermarket, saying "la-la-la" very loudly to drown out their seductive singing...

Agreed. I have the same feelings whenever I am within five miles of a large bag of Ruffles, or Lay's barbecue crisps. Lordy...
