I love Mastodon.

I ask for recommendations for Ginger Biscuits, and I get dozens of impressive suggestions.

Thank you for responding, I will take my time to go through the replies.

These important things really should not be rushed.

@davidallengreen I would suggest a scientific double blind test of the candidates.

@davidallengreen Bastogne or Lotus speculoos. Bastogne is better with tea, and lotus is better with coffee.

@davidallengreen Shah ginger from Botham's of Whitby. Big, crunchy, not so tooth-risking as McVities, dunk well

@davidallengreen M&S chocolate covered ones were always my go to.

@davidallengreen Probably more upmarket than you're after, but IMHO you can't beat chocolate coated Border biscuits. Unfortunately I haven't been able to have any for years because they don't do a gluten free version. :(

@davidallengreen Border Biscuits dark chocolate gingers 👍

@davidallengreen I miss those ones that had chewy bits of ginger baked in. Those were the best.

@davidallengreen Your shortlist should include Swedish pepparkakor ginger thins.

@davidallengreen Ringtons, absolutely lovely https://www.ringtons.co.uk/treats-c8/biscuits-c13/ringtons-hand-baked-ginger-snaps-300g-p31

@davidallengreen is gingerbread acceptable? Because https://www.grasmeregingerbread.co.uk/products/-grasmere-gingerbread are totally worth the hype

@davidallengreen
The borders once are nice if you don't mind the addition of dark chocolate. If you want something more traditional then you can't get much better than the Ringtons ones. Not sure if you can get them online or if you'd need to be on the route of one of the vans though...

@davidallengreen Pepparkakor! These ones especially if you like a fancy tin as well:

@davidallengreen I'm with @sourdust on this one. It doesn't take long to make and does have the wow factor of homemade things. (Survey sample size of 8)

@davidallengreen Co-op cookies are a top favourite

squelchuk, 6 months ago

@davidallengreen

My favourite are Doves Farm ginger oat biscuits. They're like a mixture between McVities gingernut biscuits and HobNobs (THE best biscuits)

@davidallengreen Botham's of Whitby Shah Ginger biscuits are good for purchased.

Best homemade recipe is Dutch butter ginger koekjes

madrobin, 6 months ago

@davidallengreen Since you called them biscuits, I guess you don’t have Trader Joe’s. They make a good ginger snap.

stephenwhq, 6 months ago

@davidallengreen

posh dark chocolate and ginger ones are nice. Borders do one as does Waitrose.

basexperience, 6 months ago

@davidallengreen try IKEA’s ginger heart biscuits, they’re ace.

@davidallengreen Isle of Mull Chocolate Gingers are the business.

@davidallengreen The ones from Ashbourne (Derbyshire) must be considered although they call them gingerbread.

swisslet, 6 months ago

@davidallengreen I like a parkin biscuit, would that do? I like Lottie Shaw’s Seriously Good Yorkshire Parkin biscuits.

@davidallengreen Borders - the only ginger biscuits other than my partner's homemade gingerbread that I'll willingly eat
