- We were sent another large box of British goodies, and in it were an assortment of tea cakes and biscuits for dunking in tea!! We tried Tunnock's Tea Cakes, Mr Kipling's Viennese Whirls, and McVitie's Family Circle of Biscuits and Jaffa cakes. We tasted, we dunked, we sipped, and we rated all that we tasted! The rest of the items from this large box of goodies will be tasted in 2 other videos, so make sure to subscribe to our channel and ring that bell notification icon so you know when we post them!

WOW!! That was a lot of biscuits to taste and dunk! What is your favorite biscuit or tea cake?
Hi guys, good to see you again!
Have to say I missed you, lovely scan.
I do love a jammie dodger!
Aww...you’re too sweet! 💕
HobGoblin biscuits made by McVities, various flavors, personal fave for me is treacle flavour.. but each to their own..
HobGoblin Biscuits? Now that’s a unique name for a biscuit! Sounds very intriguing!! 😃
You should try the tea cakes with coconut.
Most people who like Jaffa Cakes will do a whole box in one go 😂 Easy to do as they're so light
When eating what was left after filming this video, it was hard not to eat several in one go. We definitely understand! 😁
Full Moon, half moon, total eclipse - Only British people will understand that comment haha
@ Wayne Thompson It also has to be said with a French accent. 😉
@@KeaneAddict I always remember that advert when I have Jaffa cakes 👍
It is proven, scientifically, that is is completely impossible to stop eating them once you've had the first one.
As a British person watching, this is so wholesome 😍 there’s nothing better than tea and biscuits xx
🥰 thanks! 😊
My guy really just finishing off every biscuit! 🤣 Love that.
😁😉👍
chocolate digestives dipped in tea😭 is the best
ellie macgregor True
Bit chocolate hobnobs though!
Being British it makes me laugh other people don’t dunk biscuits in tea 🙈 I could literally sit with a full pack of biscuits & a “brew” .. I’m from Yorkshire & we call a cup of tea a “brew” ☺️ x
It’s one of those things that a lot of Americans never think to do. Plus, biscuits and tea aren’t as common over here. But we are definitely loving the combo!
Tunnocks have been around for years I also love the caramel wafers to xx
We noticed the package said that they were established in 1890...so yes, for many many year!
They are an institution, teacakes, and caramel wafers. Nothing better
Andy, hopefully we’ll get the chance to try more of their products!
I like the ones they do with the coconut!
I grew up in the village where they are made - some really yummy smells came from the factory. They also have a bakery shop where they sell cakes and other yummy things! Do you like Caramel Wafers?
A cup of tea and a biscuit anytime of the day😃 you can't beat it.
As a Scot, I grew up on Tunnocks! They are a staple in our households. I would always choose coffee though 🙈
You aren’t the only person to say they prefer coffee over tea 😉
Agree!
I'll do both. I'm headed to my corner shop to see if he's got teacakes. He's the only guy local that can source buckfast
Glad you liked them. The bourbon biscuits are are pronounced 'bor bon' and were named after the French royal family, not the drink.😃
We really did like them! Thank you so much 😊 And thanks for clarifying that 😉
Bourbons
They contain cocoa powder, but the traditional recipe is completely dairy-free, meaning most versions of the biscuit are vegan. ... Some brands make a version of the biscuit called Bourbon Cream; these can sometimes contain milk, so make sure you read the ingredients before you buy.
This is the first of these American taste tests of British snacks that I've seen where the participants are chilled and definitely not annoying. Good stuff.
Thank you! We are who we are in these videos and it’s nice to hear that that’s appreciated 😊
At last,Americans who are not over the top.Thank you for tasting these things properly.Realy enjoyed watching you.
You are very welcome! 😊
Milk chocolate hob nobs are perfect for dunking😋😋
There’s not pacing yourself when it comes to biscuits and cake.... get it in ya! Looool. Great reaction 🙌🏻
We so wish we didn’t have to pace ourselves, especially the pregnant one! 😉 We really did enjoy the biscuits and it’s been hard not to devour the ones left from the filming all in one sitting 😅
Wow Family circle selection biscuits I haven't had them for years
We always had a box at Christmas when I was a kid so good memories
Bourbon are my favourite but all will do with a nice cuppa
Keep up the good work guys😊👍
I always loved custard creams
Thanks, John! It’s fun evoking childhood memories for you viewers. It seems like we do that quite often 😊
@@FromtheHobbitHole yes it is fun evoking those memories
That is why your vlogs are so enjoyable
Please just keep doing what your doing such fun to watch👍👍
Aww...that means so much to us! 🥰🥰
@@FromtheHobbitHole Family circle were often bought in a large metal box, oh at least 2 pounds of biscuits inside. Tunnocks are a old school Scottish confectioner, they make a few varieties of teacakes, also delicious caramel wafers. As you noticed, all packaged very retro. If it ain't broke, don't fix it !
We love our biscuits ❤️ here in the UK😃
You guys do a fantastic job at crafting them!
I’m so happy they said biscuits 👏🏼 (Not cookies lol).
We knew better than to call them cookies 😉
The Family Circle always shows up at Christmas :D
That’s fun!
I have been binge watching your videos this past week and you two are the best on UA-cam to test out UK snacks
Oh wow!! That’s quite the compliment! Thank you!! 🤩😊
Proper teacakes are a light yeast bread bun with dried fruit that is toasted.
Good to know. Thanks!
Welsh Bloke There are three types of tea cakes all of which are proper tea cakes. If you have another name for the Tunnock’s tea cake pray tell what it is
About the shortbread. We are big shortbread lovers here. Majority are all the same flavour the only difference being some will be more sweet or have more butter in them. As you can buy some that are extra butter or extra creamy. So depends on preference of sweetness and if you like butter. They just do different shapes of biscuits for fun. I'd say there is probably over 100 different shapes of shortbread biscuits. They can come in Christmas tree shape, dogs, cats, square, round, rectangle, shaped as a house. You get the idea we love shortbread and making food fun haha
Shortbread is absolutely delicious! And we like the more buttery kinds. That’s great that they come in so many fun and unique shapes!
If you guys can get malted milk biscuits give them a try there awesome
We’ll try our best! They sound very intriguing 😃
Danny Bwoi I second that, love them biscuits
Malted milk mmm my fave!! Dunked in tea ☕
Yess!
@@FromtheHobbitHole Chocolate malted milks!
You need to get the hang of dunking biscuits correctly. It's a combination of dunking long enough for the biscuit to soften but not too long to break off and fall in your brew. Jaffa cakes should be eaten cold from the fridge for the crunch on the chocolate and good orangey jelly (jello) consistency.
We will put our remaining Jaffa cakes in the fridge and give that a try! Thanks for the recommendation 😁
What a nice video. Thank you for appreciating our biscuits and snacks.
Thank you! And, you are very welcome!! You guys have some really good stuff! 👌
You have just made me desperately want a Viennese Whirl!!
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!
And yes, you were right, the Highlands is in Scotland. Shortbread is a very Scottish thing as is Tunnocks.
We can understand why you love the Viennese While so much!
Full moon, half-moon, total eclipse. My favourite jaffa cake advert was a female teacher sat in front of some children teaching them about the cycle of the moon using jaffa cakes. She'd start off with a full one, full moon, then eat half of it, half-moon and lastly eat the rest of it, total eclipse.
Haha! That’s a great and creative commercial!
absolutely ICONIC advert! I still quote this 😂
Its so run and relaxing to watch you two, now three! The baby 🍼 reveal to you relatives was funny, fun, sweet, silly and your step dad is over the top hilarious 😂🎣I am keeping up with you 😄💕💙☮️
That’s so sweet to hear! Thank you so much!! 😊
And yes, our step dad is quite the character and always there for some good laughs! 🤪
Tunnock's teacake are from Scotland
Jaffa Cakes are huge over here. Welcome at any table :P - You can get tea cakes with strawberry (?) jam inside which I think really elevates the flavour but glad you liked them!
I can't remember if you've had them, but my favourite biscuit to dunk is a ginger nut biscuit. Not in that set but McVities do a version of them.
and of course congratulations on the pregnancy!
Strawberry jam inside a Jaffa Cake type biscuit sounds really good!
And we haven’t had the ginger nut biscuit, but it sounds like one we should try!
Thank you so much! 😊
As an English native, it's nice to see people appreciating the peculiar customs of our slightly crazy island, even the tea dunking fanaticism.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but the Bourbon biscuit is pronounce Bore-Bon. It's named after a French Royal House, but has no affiliation as far as I'm aware. Tunnock's Tea Cakes will usually be full with the mallow centre, but if they get a little warm, the chocolate softens and the mallow sometimes slumps. The biscuit is always soft, so in warm weather I keep mine in the fridge.
One of the strange things about our biscuits is that the ones called Rich Tea are the worst biscuit to dunk with. It takes experience to fully master dunking, but I always dunk a small piece of the biscuit, perhaps 1/4 inch to assess it's tea resilience and progress from there. Cream filled biscuits can usually take a more extreme dunk, as long as you don't completely submerge the cream. Try and avoid dunking over half the biscuit, as that can lead to structural failure, followed by a salvage operation with a spoon, to retrieve the biscuit before it disintegrates completely. There's nothing worse than tea debris at the bottom of your cup.
It's also important to remember that dunking rules vary countrywide, and if it works for you why change it. I find the way people eat Jaffa Cakes the most varied. I personally like to take a bite, then take a sip of tea, which melts the chocolate and softens the sponge.
I'd recommend trying Fox's Golden Crunch Creams, and their Chocolate Rounds, and Hobnobs of course if you have the chance.
First of all, your eloquent writing in the descriptions of dunking a biscuit and salvaging one that’s fallen deep within the cup was very enjoyable to read! Well done with that 👏👏👏
Second, we did end up putting the rest of the Tunnock’s Tea Cakes in the fridge and the change that took place was very good!
And last, Hobnobs seem to be the MOST recommended biscuit in the comments of this video! We’ve had some of Fox’s chocolate and loved it, so trying their biscuits would be amazing!!
First taste testing video I can watch you guys are so chill and no dramatic! Love the Viennese whirls there amazing haha
Thank you! We are who we are...no need to make fake drama 😝
Hey guys! So good to see you trying British biscuits ( Cookies ) in most of our supermarkets, we have a whole isle dedicated to biscuits, so there’s plenty more for you to try. Keep up the great vids! All the best.
Thanks, John! We are not surprised that you have whole aisles designated for them!!
I love your videos. Your so nice and respectful about our food. Us British do love our tea haha
Thank you! Everyone deserves to be respected, and your teas are delicious!!
this is the only reaction video of this sort that has made me happy (as a brit)
Oh wow!! That’s a very BIG compliment! 😮 Thank you sooo much!!!! 😊
Get the tea cakes in the fridge!!!
It’s all about biting into the tea cake and getting the hard crack of the chocolate.
The marshmallow is very sticky xx
Great suggestion!! Thanks!
Tea and tunnocks tea cakes is a match made in heaven. Love you guys videos👍🏼
They are a good match! And thank you!! 😊
It's like OMG put down my freaking Jaffa cakes or else.....
😂😂😂
Generations of tea and biscuits culture has refined the experience to something special. Goes with our scones and other Sweet baked products. Love the vids! From Southend on sea ( longest pleasure pier in the world!!)
Sounds like a beautiful place to live! We LOVE scones!!
Family Circle - getting a double pack for Christmas. Good value.
My friend from Uni he’s from Long Beach California he’s addictive digestives and other Mcvities biscuit flavours. He pulls all sorts of British snacks out of his bag he’s like a bleeding shop.
My favourite is jammie dodgers and fig biscuits. Really enjoyed this vlog.
We’ve seen a lot of comments with people loving jammie dodgers...that must be a very popular one! And thank you!! 😊
Hello Hailey and Nathan, so many biscuits to taste and dunk and the family circle pack is my favourite too, I always opt for the chocolate digestives first and then would leave the shortbread ones to the end as they are not my favourite, so happy you didn't dunk a Jaffa cake as they are so soft..lol. Not sure what happened to your Tea Cakes, maybe the flight over sucked all the air out of them. The art of dunking is knowing how long to leave the biscuit in the tea before it breaks and you have that skill done to perfection. I have my scorecard here to rate your video and my score is 10. Thanks as always for sharing your tasting video's, Have a lovely week . .
So you like to start with your favorite first and end with your least favorite last? We tend to do the opposite so that we end on a good note! Everyone has different ways of doing things and it’s fun to see who likes to do what and how. Lol. Nathan’s family makes a spiced berry cookie at Christmas time that they dunk in water to soften and bring out the flavor of the cookie, so there’s been practice with dunking there! Thanks for the rating of 10! And have a splendid week!!
7:35 Matt was desperate to have another teacake 😂😂
😅 yup!
@@FromtheHobbitHole dont blame you!! Living in Scotland, the supermarkets are full of tunnochs goodies😀. When l was in the states l tried a twinkie bar thinking it would be similar to a tunnochs teacake, l was very disappointed 😥. Here is a link to a tunnochs goodie box, its on special offer at the moment too 😂 www.gretnagreen.com/index.php?option=shop&page=shop.product_details&product_id=20401&l=uk&pid=20401&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkuP9BRCkARIsAKGLE8UunhnLcfQJD6LniEohSSQwKLlgIKAbqGIkapVl3guE_86mBW0uW8IaAvrXEALw_wcB
Thanks for the link! And yes, Twinkies are wayyyy different. They aren’t our favorite.
I won’t even let myself buy any tea cakes. I just end up finishing the whole box and feel really shitty about myself when I do.😓
Do they sell them in smaller packages?? If so, they made those for you 😉
@@FromtheHobbitHole some supermarkets do a 10 pack. The factory is closed just now due to covid and there's a real shortage of tunnocks products on the go 😣😣😣.
And the reasons yours deflated was due to a drop in air pressure in the cargo hold of the aeroplane on the way over. The chocolate is poured over the mallow and because of witchcraft the mallow doesn't collapse. I could do damage to a box of teacakes and a packet of caramel wafers right now
Oh man!! A shortage of Tunnocks?! 😧 That’s no good! Hopefully the factory will be up and running soon! 🏭 Hahaha...witchcraft 😂 ...that’s a good one! But the effect of the air pressure drop during the flight over to us does make sense.
Dove's Farm digestives are king of the digestives! great video!
The tea cakes are my personal favourite 😃
So happy you posted!! Love you both.. Mr Kipling are the best, but my favourites are the jaffa cakes and they also do a polish brand but their raspberry jelly. But super yummy! There's always been a debate here in the UK that the jaffa cake is a biscuit (cookie) or a cake.. But you can decide as your neither right or wrong xoxo custard creams are made with a creamy custard creme and the biscuit is more buttery and soft. Bourbon is a chocolate flavour creme I have both biscuits in my tin. Chocolate fingers are super yummy and moreish! All the biscuits are Mcvities classics. :)
Lou Lou have you tried the cherry Jaffa cakes? They’re so good
@@M99THESHaM Nope I've not seen those! Where did u find them?
Lou Lou they are by E. Wedel which I think also make the raspberry ones
Lou Lou...you are too sweet! 💕 Raspberry jelly versions of Jaffa Cakes sounds super yummy! And we completely understand why you have those specific biscuits in your tin right now 😉 Have an amazing day!
@@FromtheHobbitHole Well I'm lucky if I can get just one custard creme biscuit with my coffee or tea as my son who's 7years old loves them and if he can get hold of them the whole packrts gone in a day.. :D can't wait to see how your pregnancy journey starts enjoy every step I think pregnancy is amazing! Have a lovely day too xx
Before scoring the jaffa cakes, I did say "if you score less than 8, I will come and hunt you down". But you have a mean average score of 8, so I'll let you off ;-)
P.S. when dunking, at least a second in the tea, but more than about 4 seconds and you risk the biscuit falling apart
It’s good to know that our hides are safe! And we’ll let you in on a little secret...we were told to put the Jaffa Cakes in the fridge because it makes them taste amazing, and so we tried it.........and they were amazing! 😃
As a kid (in ahem the 70's)! A Jaffa cake meant special occasion and Mr Kiplings French Fancies where my fav packaged party cake! And if you like orange with tea try Lady grey tea weak minus milk the gentle version of Earl grey it has orange oil in it. (sorry keep editng) if you lie borbons you will love penguins it is the biscuit covered in milk choc!
We will have to look into that tea and try to get our hands on those Penguins because both sounds delicious!
@@FromtheHobbitHole Could do worse than Twinings Lady grey.
Nibble each end of the choc finger and then use it like a straw to drink some tea, amazing.
To finish, you need to knock back the sludge at the bottom of your tea cup, beautiful.
Brilliant idea!!
Iv just got my self a 6 pack of tea cakes love them as a proud scot hmmm I like the marshmallow out hmmmm
We tried them cold after a viewer told us to in the comments, and that was soooo good!
Your first post with a lil passenger 'on board'.. Looks like you enjoyed all the 'biccys' and cakes then..
Best wishes to you both and 'bean', from Wales UK xXx
Haha, yes! First one!! That’s partially why Hailey was pacing herself with the amount of each biscuit she was eating...she didn’t want to go into sugar overload for the baby 😉
And thank you so much! 💕 Have a great day!
Aww lovely to see people enjoying our traditional tea and biscuits so much and giving them the respect they deserve!! You guys are so cute together too, such a respectful couple ❤️ Scottish shortbread and British shortcake biscuits are slightly different in their butter content but similar, you're right. Sometimes shortbread is branded as 'all butter Scottish shortbread' xx
Tunnocks teacakes area long standing snack along with Caramel wafers and snowballs, hence the traditional wrapping xx
Family circle tubs are great to have in the house at Christmas for sitting around with the family or visitors, or taking into work as a birthday celebration for colleagues or school Christmas parties. Always a fight for the happy faces and bourbon creams!! 😂🤣❤️
Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰 You are too kind! 😊
And thanks for sharing so much great info about the biscuits! We love when we get such information filled comments 😁
@@FromtheHobbitHole thank you for your reply 🌼❤️
You’re welcome! Sorry it took so long for us to get to your comments. We became backlogged while on vacation
A good dunker is a biscuit thats not overly sweet and usually on the dryer side so it won't simply go soggy and vanish to the bottom of your mug.
Selection boxes of biscuits quite often end up with flavours being shared or transferred between the contents which is why you'll be noticing extra flavour notes.
If you like oaty biscuits then try to get hold of a packet of Hobnobs, chocolate or not.
We need to get a hold of those Hobnobs because we keep hearing people talk about them in the comments! It’s never fun to have soggy crumbs on the bottom of your cup
You two are sooooo wholesome
Thank you! That means a lot to us 💛💚
It's Italian marshmallow which is like a very sticky and smooth. Biscuits we been doing for seven and eight hundred years, its the same with cheesecake and cakes. Some of the biscuits have vanilla in them. The bourbon biscuit is pronounced "bor bon" not "bourbon" it is the way the French say the word and it's a mixed chocolate cream. That's why in Britain we use the classic way of saying things and we also use Latin and the old romance languages and in our cooking most biscuits have vanilla in them. I love watching videos where Americans say they invented it first or we have copied them.
Thanks for sharing all that! We definitely made that mistake in some of our earlier videos! We didn’t know the history of what we were eating, or the fact that what we are familiar with here in the States were copied off of something from the UK. But we’ve learned since then! And now we like to appreciate the origins of what we are familiar with 😉
Best ‘cheats’ s’more I’ve had in the UK is using an marshmallow between two choc leibniz biscuits
Nice! We’ve never heard of that biscuit
Love your videos! You two are just couple goals!
Also, if you get chocolate finger biscuits again, a really yummy way of eating them, is to bite off either end, and then suck up tea (or hot chocolate) through it. That means the inside is all melty, but contained by the chocolate! I would definitely recommend :D
Oh thank you sooo much! 😊😊💚💛
And your suggestion is brilliant! We definitely will try that the next time we get our hands on those biscuits!
Even better with a kit kat, it's called an orgasm apparently lol 😆
Good going tasting all those biscuits guys 🙂👍. There are many you tried there that l'm not so keen on but i can't resist the Tunnocks teacake. Mmmm😍
Those Tunnocks Teacakes are very irresistible!
That's why I don't buy them. I daren't :)
Biscuits can be categorised as good or bad "Dunkers" Ginger Nuts are my fav....
We need that list so we know for the future! Lol
Highland SHORTBREAD is a whole different animal to SHORT CAKE.
Ahhh....ok. Thanks for informing us! 😊
@@FromtheHobbitHole Real Scottish shortbread has a distinctive flavour probably mainly due to a larger butter content.
Orange and black tea flavours always blend well together hence the popular Earl Grey tea - tea and Bergamot, and if you like that try Lady Grey tea basically Earl Grey with extra orange.
The tea cakes from Tunnocks are Made in Scotland and very popular both in England and Scotland, My wife buys me 2 boxes when she goes shopping, I love them with a Brew 👍🏻
The marry well with a good brew for sure!
As a brit this makes me so happy :)
😃😃 and hearing that makes us happy! 💚💛
You can’t beat a tea cake
There is now lemon Jaffa cakes but the orange one's are still the best in my view😃
Oohhhh....lemon sounds good!
When you become an experienced dunker , you can judge a biscuit by how long it can be dunked before the dreaded thing happens and it breaks off and sinks to the bottom of your cup. So Rich Tea, Nice and Malted Milks are 1 to 2 seconds in the tea, otherwise disaster. Chunkier more solid biscuits take longer do a Bourbon, Custard Cream or Digestive can last longer. Now the really heavy weights are the Hob Nob and the Ginger Nut. Those can suck half your cup of tea without breaking down.
Those are some really great tips! Thanks!!
Mr Kipling is nice!
I could eat that family pack in one sitting
Understandably so!
Ah you guys are great.
Thanks! 😊😊
Jaffa Cakes won a court case in the UK where they were ruled a cake rather than a biscuit and the difference was decided on the fact that a Jaffa Cake went hard when it got old like cakes and biscuits get soft when old.
Oh wow! That’s so interesting!! Thanks for sharing that fun bit of history with us 😁
@@FromtheHobbitHole I used it in one of my English classes here in Germany and the students ate a Jaffa Cake as well.
Awesome video, I love how calming you two are! I recently did a snack swap with an American UA-camr (I'm British) and trying a dill pickle almost made me sick haha!
Thanks! 😊 Dill pickles are amazing!! It’s funny how we have different tastes...
Give me all the bourbons. Love them!
Because its filled by machine you tend to get the bubble because the dome is shaped and cooled quickly but if you make them yourself you fill it more slowly.
Oh, that’s interesting!
Tip when dunking; Have a spoon handy because you can guarantee that you'll have a breakage mid-dunk and you'll need to rescue it 😀
Thanks for the tip!
No hobnobs! Good day sir! I said good day sir!
Sadly they weren’t sent to us 😢
Tunnocks Tea Cakes...food of the gods.
Tunnock's tea cakes, the daddy of them all.
what a charming couple you are xx
You make us blush 😊 thank you!
Oh my word, your videos are as addictive as these yummy treats you're tasting lol. I love the way you're describing the flavours and stuff, guys. Ever tried Polish sweets? I'd love to make some exchange with you, guys. Keep safe. :)
😆 Thanks! 😊 So glad you are enjoying our content and the way we present our thoughts! 💚💛 We’ve tried something items from Poland, but we aren’t sure how common they are to everyone.
You dont dunk your biscuits long enough in the tea to get the full effect of why you dunk. The biscuits should be nice and soft. X
Good to know! Thanks!!
there's a perfect time limit otherwise the biscuit falls into the tea
@The Truth Nice are swines to get right as well. Just wave them over the cup! 😉
@The Truth Yes, it's an art! ☕
Very wise Hayley.
Nice with Tea OMG :-)
I love Mr Kipling Viennese whirls I live in France and always ask the family to bring a box over from the UK when they visit for me love the video thank you x
Good thing you still can get your hand on them with the help of your friends and family!
Do we bake biscuits to be good to dunk in tea?
Damn straight we do!
Yes you do!
Planned spontaneity is good. hehe I'm not usually a fan of music in the background but you did an excellent job with the volume. Was very soothing. BTW CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy! Praying for a healthy baby and an enjoyable pregnancy journey. God bless you both.
Thanks for letting us know about the music. Music can be very distracting or it can help fill in the quiet spots of the video...finding that perfect sweet spot is tough! Also finding the right type of background music is key!!
And thanks for the prayers and blessings with the pregnancy! 😊
🇬🇧 We are a nation of biscuit dunkers in our cuppa teas 🍪☕
…and we are sooooo for that!
You need to watch the Peter Kay biscuit monologue he does in his standup routine, it’s a great description of the love of biscuits with tea
ua-cam.com/video/lSWzBnt0dlc/v-deo.html
😂🤣😂 the slow motion but and hobnob bit were absolutely hilarious! Thanks for sharing 😁
@@FromtheHobbitHole no worries, keep up the great videos. ❤️
Will do! Thanks 😊
Yeah the Viennese whirls come in lemon and chocolate. Lemon flavour usually at Easter or Mother’s Day, chocolate ones on no special occasion just a limited edition I think!
Mmmm...both those flavors sound really good!! 🤤
I love these videos. You need to dunk the crunchy biscuits a bit longer to give the biscuit a chance to soak up the tea. A quick in and out just wets the outside.
A guilty indulgence concerning custard creams...twist the top from the bottom then lick the cream off! 🤣🤣
There is currently a 'winter' version of the Vienesse Whirls, even yummier!
😲 sounds yummy!
There is nothing more fun than the Russian roulette of how long you can leave the biscuit in the cup to get maximum sog :) My favourite for dunking is the chocolate Hobnob, which is a wheat biscuit that just can suck tea up unbelievably.
Haha! That sounds like a lot of fun 😄
Hopefully one day we will be able to try a Hobnob!
We have very strict food standards in UK so we use no or very little additives and preservatives but instead rely on natural flavours, sweeteners.
A lot of things get soft when they get wet, it's just basic physics
Those standards are nice to have!
Great review on our cake and biscuits 👍👍
Family circle are fine biscuits BUT if you was to get them individually in there packets that we get, the taste of the biscuit is so much better in my opinion 😁😁
Great vid 👍👍
Thank you! That’s a very interesting observation about the tastes being different.
@@FromtheHobbitHole once this epidemic of covid 19 has eased off and we can get back to shopping normally again, if you would like, I'd get my lovely wife to find you on Facebook (as I'm not on it 😂) send you some photos of our biscuits and sweets, you could pick out what you haven't tryed and we will send them over. You both are a very charming and lovely couple and me and my wife love watching your vids and would happily do that for you 😁😁
Oh my...thank you! We would greatly appreciate that 😊 You can get in touch with us through Facebook or Instagram. You can find us under the same name as our UA-cam channel.
As a Jaffa cake obsesser… WHO EATS THEM LIKE THAT omg do people actually do that???? Best way is the chocolate then the orangey bit then the cake… sooooo amazing
Apparently people who don’t eat them regularly! 😅
Tea and chocolate together = 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
👌perfect combo!
Jaffa cakes are very moreish (tasty) I feel. It’s hard to not finish a whole packet. Yes try malted Milk biscuits. If you loved the Tunnocks Teacakes - Try Wagon Wheels. They are a layer of round marshmallow squashed between two round biscuits covered in milk chocolate. One other Wagon Wheel version (blue packet) has strawberry jam (jelly) in the middle as well as marshmallow.
We’ve actually had a wagon wheel in one of our first tasting videos! (The regular version without the jam) And those malted milk biscuits sounds delicious!! 🤤
A game we used to play was to see who could dunk their biscuit for the longest and still eat it before it crumbled into your tea! Great reaction video :-) x
That sounds like a great game! Would you typically win?
@@FromtheHobbitHole to be honest it depended on the biscuit! I'm pretty competitive and went for long dunks...oh the sorrow of watching half of your biscuit disappear into the depths of your freshly made brew 😂🤣 fun way to pass the time though 😊
Makes sense that it would depend on the biscuit. Sounds like it was a lot of fun!!
Love your cat
