Yeah that British person was trying to wind up OP.

Bourbons shit all over oreos too, oreos are perhaps the most overrated biscuit out there.

Oreos are horrible, over baked and hard tasteless pucks of biscuit with a lump of fat in the middle. Custard Creams piss all over them.

Calling any cookie a biscuit gives me the urge to buy a musket and tricorn hat

Calling scones biscuits and eating them with savory meals makes me want to ship all our criminals to Georgia again.

Hah.

Why are custard creams boring compared to bourbons?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Beige.

Though I love them both.

I'm custard cream till I die. Bourbons are the duller biscuit. Naturally, as a minor and inconsequential personal preference, I will fight to the death all who disagree.

Can we really call the Oreo cream custard if there's no egg or milk, tho? Or are you talking about a 3rd thing and I completely misunderstood?

Bourbons and custard creams are possibly the two biggest sandwich biscuits in the UK, bourbon is basically a chocolate variant of the custard cream.

As a term for grouping a type of biscuit yes. Nobody in their right mind would ask for a pack of chocolate sandwich biscuits and mean oreos though.

Ah, I see. Thanks :D
