The Biscuit Supremacy

[amberdreams]

I'm happy to report we have survived a crisis in our household this evening. Paul brought home some cute little Scottie-dog-shaped shortbread biscuits the other day, and tonight I decided to open the packet, grabbed a handful and popped the rest in Paul's biscuit tin - WITH HIS DIGESTIVE BISCUITS. So go on, tell me how many of you knew that this was a terrible breach of biscuit etiquette? You should have seen Paul's look of horror and disgust. HOW COULD I NOT KNOW SHORTBREAD MAKES DIGESTIVES GO SOGGY?

So now the wee shorties are decanted safely into an empty tin of Quality Street and Paul has gone to have a nice relaxing bath to recover from the trauma.

Really?!!! I've never heard that before, and I would never have thought that is would be an issue (I'm guessing there's a science explanation there, but my brain doesn't really do a lot of science). And crap, now I'm trying to remember if at work we've got digestives and shortbread in the same tin!!!

It was so funny, he was convinced I should know this, everyone knows this - I couldn't stop laughing while he was hurriedly stuffing his precious digestives back into their packet!

Hehe!!! And now I'm intrigued about general biscuit etiquette; is this just a shortbread and digestive thing? Or is it the same with other biscuits? I mean will my custard creams and ginger snaps be friendly in the same tin? :)

Paul tells me custard creams also make other biscuits soggy, and this is starting to sound a whole new world of potential biscuit porn!
