Biscuits on Board

[sarabande]

which biscuits (in their standard wrappings) seem to last best on board, pls ?

I mean 'last' = store.


On one racing boat I sailed, we lived on the old-fashined Suggestive biscuits, but the new versions seem to be made out of floor sweepings, and are feeble imitations of real manfood.

Bourbon creams. And they are good 'dippers'.

I find if I like them they don't store at all! I suppose the savoury biscuit selection in theplastic "tins" are best (I like the saltiness with tea), but sometimes I open several boxes of tools and spares before finding the biscuits.

Rob.

P.S. Good point about the Bourbons, they're still nice after they've gone soft.

And if you buy Hobnobs make sure they are chocolate Hobnobs.
Without the chocolate they leave crumbs everywhere.

Ships biscuits of course

They last best with weevils.

I've long thought Tesco's own brand suggestives are better than the McVities one's... worth extensive research I think....

>I mean 'last' = store.

We've stored various packets of biscuits on a boat for six months and never had any problems. The only problem would come if you stored them somewhere damp.

Any sort you like the rats are not choosey, when the biscuits are gone the wiring loom is next.

No variety of biscuits lasts very long on my boat.

Penguins ... a good choice if there are any polar bears about

Ah yes - Penguins. I haven't had one of those for years. I wonder if the corner shop is still open.........

I always have a few packs of Sainsburys own brand shortbread biscuits

Very tasty, and once opened, if kept in a small tupperware container, they keep for over a month (if i dont eat them all first!)

 

[chubby]

Ginger nuts any time, not as crumbly as digestives, not as tempting as choccy bics and just a chance the ginger is good for seasickness, or at least tell the crew that. Perhaps one should have an `on passage` and `in harbour` supply.

Army Compo hard tack biscuits, soak them for a month and still hard and tasteless

If I could get my hands on some of the Biscuits, Fruit though, I'd gladly keep a stock on board.
