2 Kim 08.27.11 at 8:18 am: Translation: chocolate cookie. In Richard’s case, probably a Mcvities, and therefore edible only if washed down with plenty of coffee or tea. The only decent “chockie bickies” are baked on the American model, and are available in decent supermarkets like Sainsbury.

To the British taste that would be far too sweet and only for wimps. The best “chockie bickies” are made with a digestive biscuit (McVities if you like) but covered with plain chocolate. Far too bitter for the American taste.

5 Kim 08.28.11 at 10:52 pm: a digestive biscuit

And the man dares to speak of Americans, in their taste, as “wimps”! In a country where people put pineapple on pizza, Marmite on toast, and eat cucumber sandwiches. Figure it.

You certainly picked on three things I dislike. We Brits do have a lot to answer for! I do admit to liking peanut butter and pancakes for breakfast with eggs over easy - BUT - your cookies are far too sweet!
