Try the same thing with, for example, a Rich Tea and you'd end up with crumb chaos. The Garibaldi, you see, is firm but not brittle, due to the embedded raisins. It is the reinforced concrete of the biscuit world.<br /> Oreos (black outside, white inside) can be used as draught pieces.<br /> I have had some success with ginger biscuits as sandpaper for fine finishing but, on a large piece (a chest of drawers for example) you'll get through several packets. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3119#post-8972 Fri, 23 Apr 2010 09:45:42 +0000 simonjmr 8972@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>ALan Partridge's use of Custard Creams as Zombie make up </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3119#post-8969 Fri, 23 Apr 2010 09:11:12 +0000 MADJEZ 8969@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Given that I am currently bored, I wondered if we could have a section on interesting uses for a biscuit in popular culture and the real world.</p> <p>This was triggered by my first nomination : Doctor Who for this week's Jammie Dodger/Tardis self-destruct button.</p> <p>Anyone think of any others ? </p>
