Biscuits: questions and Band 8 answers

Yes, fairly often, especially with a cup of tea in the afternoon. I usually have a couple of plain oat biscuits around four o'clock to keep me going until dinner. It is just a nice little treat to break up the working day.

I would say I have a sweet tooth, so I generally go for dark chocolate digestives or anything with a bit of ginger spice. I am not really a fan of overly sugary, cream-filled ones because they feel a bit too heavy.

A few times, actually. During the holidays last winter, my flatmate and I tried making shortbread from scratch. It was surprisingly easy since you only need butter, sugar, and flour, and they turned out wonderfully buttery and crumbly.

Yes, quite frequently. It is common to take a fancy tin of artisan biscuits when visiting someone's home, particularly during festive periods. People appreciate it because it is a simple, thoughtful gesture that everyone can share over coffee.
