Thank you, Richard. Haven't tried the foxes range for ages. I can't remember the last one I bought. What a lovely selection ❤❤
Peter Kay would be the Comedian
Thanks for another enjoyable video.
As previously said, as a diabetic my sugar fix is watching your videos 😂
Hi Jonno! Thank you, just looked Peter Kay up, we'll need to look-up some of his videos. Thank you for watching, can't imagine what it's like having diabetes, we're actually trying to be more mindful of our sugar intake these days as we age. Hope you're doing well
You're only member of the dunkin' club when you've lost at least half a biscuit to your tea then had to fish it out with a spoon! 🤣
Hi Margaret, ahh over there years we should have received our dunkin' club membership cards decades ago :D
been there and done it many a time
Loved this Fox's biscuits are some of the best just had there oaty sandwich ones but they vanished way too quickly 😊
It's funny how they can just disappear! 😃
The plain malted milk biscuits us to have pitchers on .the pictures where sport figures and we would try and gets them .TAKE care and all the best. 😊😊👍👍🐶
Thank you. So the packages were collectible?
You''re right. There's a difference between dipping and dunking but they take years of practice to get it right. Only thing to do is keep practicing! 😀
Hi Margaret, you just inspired me to google the difference: "In general, "to dip" is used for more delicate items and a more gentle action, while "to dunk" is used for stronger items and a more forceful action." I thought it was more of a measure of time, less time for a dip, a bit more time for a dunk :) Practice :)
@@FinnLovesFood I guess it all comes down to the level of tea suckerupness! 🤣
I love fox's biscuits, fox's also do ginger crunch cream biscuits which are nice you may have tried those. Not tried the apple flavour ones, like you said you don't see that flavour often in a biscuit will have to try those before they vanish! the pink shortbread looked good.
Hmmm, we may have tried ginger crunch creams - we've tried a variety of ginger flavored biscuits! Hope you can find the apple crumble flavor.
@@FinnLovesFood Thanks i hope so too, no luck so far! i had a look at a few of your older biscuit & fox's videos and i couldn't see the ginger cream biscuits on there so i will send some in your box, will May be too hot to send chocolate?
@@keza92 how sweet! ♥ May shouldn't be too late, unless we get a heat wave. The weather has been bouncing around a lot lately. Tomorrow will be 28C and Saturday will be 15!
Wooooh, here I am joining in with the “biccie eat along”!! 😀 time & date stamp: 16.50 on 9 April
Got my tea (PG tips) in a Kew Gardens Royal Botanical mug and biscuits of choice are:
Bourbon (my favourite)
Jammie Dodger with Blackberry & Apple Jam n cream centre
Chocolate covered hobnob …. Mmmmmm 😋😋
Ready to dunk? I am! 😂😂
Oooh, love Jammie Dodgers. We tried an apple flavored one, but I don't think we've had that flavor.
Do you have a lot of mugs? I have quite a collection - always tempted to pick up new ones!
Plain malted milk biscuits are my favourite dunkers, but you have to time them within an inch of their life, or you end up with tea soup.
I can see that happening. Even that quick dunk was almost too much!
I usually only give my biscuits a light dunk as I can't abide soggy biscuit at the bottom of my cup. It's personal taste . Enjoyable video as always.
Thanks. Agree, don't like crumbs at the bottom of my cup either. I usually forget and that last gulp is an unfortunate end to an otherwise nice cup of tea!
I didn't know Ross had recently had a birthday, Happy Belated Birthday Ross 🎈🎉🎂😁😊🎁🥳🎊
@@valerierodgers4678 thank you!
If you're making hot chocolate or Horlicks - make it in a pan and use an electric stick whisk instead of stirring it. Makes it more luxurious.
Hi Margaret, Happy Tuesday! We've been trying it both heating milk in the microwave as well as a pan, haven't tried an electric whisk yet but now you have our curiosity :) Ross here - Tina's been hinting about wanting a Hotel Velvetiser as an anniversary gift, which means Tina most likely receive a Hotel Velvetiser as an anniversary gift :)
@@FinnLovesFood Sssh! I won't tell anyone. Don't want to spoil the surprise. If the stick blender whisk thingymabob works you'll save some money - but it won't be the same and I'll get into trouble. 😀
@@margaretnicol3423 Tina here, reading Ross' comment. 😄 So many viewers have talked up the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser. I really didn't think I needed a hot chocolate maker, but then saw it does lattes and mochas too...now I'm more tempted! Plus it's more content for the channel. 😊
Ross here, sounds like that's your final answer on the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser!
@@FinnLovesFood Shock and horror! You're not supposed to have read that one!!! 😯
Ross - there's no keeping secrets from a woman! You'll have to think of another birthday surprise now.
I'll look forward to seeing you use it but please don't say it's so good I have to get one too!
Afternoon Tina and Ross. Chocolate and ginger! What a great combination. Waitrose know how to chocolate-coat their biccies.
Yes, we Brits do great biscuits, but the packaging can leave something to be desired. Often the packet-end biscuits are broken and those pesky tear-strips are very hit and miss. Good old Fox's are always great, but they can be overly sweet. I think plain, as in, simple biscuits, malted milk, rich tea, hob-nobs are actually some of my favourites.
Don't worry about the external sound effects. It all adds to the ambience.😊 I thought it sounded like Darth Vader was in the room with you at one point!! 😂
BTW Tina. You dunk just as long as you like! Each to their own. Have a good week.
We thought we may have had breakage that happened during transit (they had a long trip!) I think I prefer the plainer biscuits if I'm going to dunk. Still really love the jam n cream biscuits - one of my all time favorites for that type of biscuit. Here I have a hard time stopping with peanut butter cookies or snickerdoodles, especially when they're warm and soft.
Tbh, in my 70odd years I never noticed the ‘tear here’ tabs on biscuits ‘til I started watching FLF videos!?😃
A lot of people disagree, but I find Fox's so much better than McVities
Hi Graham! We have an appreciation for both, both are enjoyable with tea or just by themselves. Some of the Fox's I would agree are sweeter but it also depends on the variety, we loved the Fox's Jam 'n Cream Rings. The McVities milk chocolate the caramel one - great with a hot drink. Happy Tuesday!
Thank you for reminding me of World Market. I got some Penguins (which is similar to Aussies that is sold at Trader Joe’s), Bournville dark chocolate sticks, Jaffa Orange which is similar to Jaffa Cakes, some Burt’s Guinness chips, and not to forget Marmite.
Hi Ruth, Happy Tuesday! The Penquins are similar to Aussies and also TimTams, have you had those before? The mint and dark chocolate TimTam varieties are very nice. We can find regular Marmite at our local World Market, but not one of the special varieties such ash truffle, or the extra aged. Counting our blessings we can at least find it there at all :)
@@FinnLovesFoodHappy Tuesday to you both. Yes, I have tried the Tam Tams but I don’t like them as much as the Aussies.
Did you say that you got Branston Pickle at World Market? I didn’t see it when I was there recently.
British Milky Way is similar to American Musketeers. I remember Snickers being called Marathon bars.
Best wishes to you.
@@ruthjones-hernandez7307 Hi Ruth, Thank you! About the Branston Pickle, we were able to find it and Hayward's silverskin onions. We've found, at least at our World Market, sometimes not all the foods you would expect to be centrally organized are in just one spot, we've had to check the entire store. Hoping they'll stock the Branston Pickle at your location. Speaking of the chocolate bars - we've noticed the Brit selection increasing, nice to have that extra variety. Now you have me craving a Lion bar :)
@@FinnLovesFood My job is done. British chocolate is the best. 😊
hi guys great vid hope ross had a great birthday i like the old biscuits
Thank you! Birthday was great and presents are still arriving. 🙂
Peter kay
Yes, that's him!
Love him xx just something makes me giggle on videos the lady who is in picture behind Ross looks like her arms come out the side of his head xx😊
You can’t beat a good old Scottish shortbread. The buttery the better. Tucking into raspberry and white chocolate shortbread right now from Duncan’s of Deeside
Yes, can't resist that buttery flavor! We do find Walker's here in a lot of our stores.
I remember Dundee cakes as a kid, big round shortbready cakes(biscuits?), one side covered with chocolate. My Nan would buy me one as a treat from the bakers.
The plain malted milk’s are a traditional biscuit, nice and subtle and not too heavy. Fox’s biscuits are a bit too ‘sweetish’ for me. The original apple/rhubarb crumble with custard is a pudding well worth trying if you can get hold of it.
I believe you sent us the first malted milk biscuits we ever tried. There is something nice about their simplicity. We've had apple crumble, but not with rhubarb...or custard!
@@FinnLovesFood Seem to remember sending you fruit shortcakes, another subtle biscuit with a curranty piquancy, don’t think I sent the malted milk’s though? Did you film the apple crumble tasting? Custard is a must with crumble. Have you ever eaten rhubarb? Whatever else, it needs plenty of sugar!😋
@@woodentie8815 ah okay, so hard to keep track sometimes. 🙂 But yes, we do remember the fruit shortcakes too. In fact, we recently saw them show up in our World Market store. The only apple crumble we have on film is one we tried at a Celtic fair. It wasn't the best example! We've had better ones in the distant past. We've only tried rhubarb flavored sweets, never the real thing.
@@FinnLovesFood Yep amazing that you remember so much as you do. Rhubarb’s quite a curious fruit(veg?) - is it grown in the States? - munching on a stick of rhubarb’s a bit (not quite so bad) like biting into a lemon, who’d do it? But prepared right, it’s succulent and, a I say, is delicious with custard.
@@woodentie8815 it's grown in some other states. I'm guessing California doesn't have the right climate for it.
I usually dunk just the plain biscuits but if it enhances the flavour, go for it. Having a biscuit break, and fall into your tea is the worst. Err on the side of caution. Poor Finn must go mad when you lock him away during food tasting.
Biscuit and tea ruined when that happens! Finn would be such a pest if he was in the kitchen with us. He doesn't always watch us - sometimes he just takes a nap. 🙂
Malted milk covered in chocolate and cadburys fingers are two of my favourite biscuits! I dislike ginger biscuits so much idk why I just can’t take to the taste 🤮
Do you like ginger, but just not combined with chocolate?
@@FinnLovesFood I’ve tried ginger biscuits without chocolate and I didn’t like those either 🤣 but if I’m cooking sometimes I add ginger but it’s mixed with other spices only time I’ll eat it but depends on the meal mainly if I’m doing anything Chinese
Fox's biscuits are usually too sweet for my palate but i love to dunk about 8/10 malted milk in my tea after my early evening meal . Aldi do a fantastic range of biscuits ( Belmont ) which are usually about 60% cheaper than branded ones , i'm going in Asda and Morrison's today and i'm going to look for the Malted milk vanilla ones and the chocolate type , have a good week and look after yourselves
Hi John, hope you found the biscuits you were looking for. Have a great week!
Oh dear that's too much sugar for me, I don't have a sweet tooth as much as a lot of people, enjoy them anyway and I'll have something savoury.
Hi Michael, Happy Tuesday! Maybe our next savoury video will be more inspiring :) We recorded one over the weekend and will be posting soon
to much sugar in the fox s
They can be a bit sweet.
