Somebody put the kettle on.
As lovers of all things biscuit, we’re always interested to hear the biscuit tastes of people to see how they compare with our own preferences.
According to the Metro, the people of the UK have spoken – well, 2,000 of them anyway – and the most popular biscuit is… drum roll, please… the plain old, chocolate digestive.
‘Plain old’ might be a little harsh because the chocolate digestive really does have everything you want in a biscuit: it’s tasty, you can have it any time of the day and, crucially, it’s solid enough that it won’t crumble within seconds of being dunked in a cup of tea.
It fully deserves its place at the top of a list that is quite predictable really, fighting off competition from the Chocolate Hobnob for top spot, with the Custard Cream, the shortbread and the Jaffa Cake also meriting top-five places.
If you’re anything like us, with all this talk of biscuits, you’ll be off to put the kettle on.
