There isn't a better biscuit than this. Sure, you may prefer others. Objectively though, this is the best. It's an all round work horse that doesn't disintegrate when dunked and maintains it's integrity when bitten meaning the can be eaten in bed when unwell or depressed.

I don't know what your game is, but I want you to know that I'm on to you.
Like you say, it's a solid, dependable biscuit, but that by no means makes it the best.
It's very much like a Volkswagen Polo, or a girl with a dodgy face but a decent body. It'll get you where you need to go, but it's hardly going to be memorable, or get your blood pumping. It's objectively not the best biscuit, it's the median biscuit, a benchmark biscuit. It's fine, it has universal appeal, but nothing to write home about.
Biscuits, like all art-forms, can never truly be ranked, merely observed and appreciated. But to suggest such a plain and, let's be honest, boring biscuit is the pinnacle, that's just foolish. I'd also argue that everything you claim a rich tea does the best, a digestive does slightly better.
I will refrain from fighting in any one biscuits corner as I have quite adventurous tastes (orange creams, viscounts) but to say the very essence of a basic, middling biscuit is the best is just insulting.
There are rifles that by all accounts should be better than the ak-47 they are more accurate have a better rate of fire. And actually have a 3 round burst option. But for pure robustness, universal application, utility and afforablity the ak-47 comes up top trumps, that's what we have here with the rich tea. A biscuit for all seasons. It is what the Ford is to the car world.
Isn't that technically a gel? I mean, it's not a liquid, but a fluid because it can flow but it's also a solid because it holds its shape when subjected to forces in equilibrium.
I don't disagree, but nobody would call the 47 the best gun ever made, because it just isn't. It's useful, and it's sheer practicality is appealing, but nobody wants one.
After a hard day of ethnic cleansing, there's nothing better than a cuppa and a bickie. When I need to get the bitter taste of senseless butchery and futile inter-tribal conflict out of my mouth, I always go for a Rich Tea.
>>12515 My vague understanding of the history of Western military conflict suggests the opposite; I thought simple biscuits or "hard tack" kind of things were what most armies tended to march on [in their stomachs]?
Sage for inevitably bringing our Corrigan out, I know mil-history lad can smell a boring discussion opportunity like a shark can blood in water
If I was blindfolded and someone fed me a Rich Tea, I'm not sure I could even identify it as food. They offer nothing remotely enjoyable to the palate and their very existence is a source of continuous bewilderment to me.
