Suitable Biscuits for an Engineering Environment

03/31/2009 5:21 AM

Some twit has bought digestive biscuits covered with caramel AND chocolate.
Surely that can't be right!
Far too frivolous for us Engineers, maybe ok for thesbians or marketing types...

Two clarificatios required before we ...

for thesbians or marketing types...
Discus...
a) What did you mean thesbians a1 or a2 or a3

b) Discus - b1 or b2

I think that the biscuits can be used as the b2 above if they are not of the b1 - note this applies only to you for others if it is the b1 then they will use it as b2.

And the a1, a2 or a3 - none of them will prefer to have biscuit type b1

Engineers may like this or this especially the other half of your company.

Houston we have a problem!
We need some serious engineering input here, some one has just tipped some hobnobs into the biscuit tin and we now have serious biscuit stratification problems, with 3 layers... choc/caramel digestives, golden crunch creams, and hobnobs at the top.
Can some one design a biscuit tin de-stratifier pronto?

I say...steady on old chap...that's waaay out of our core area of expertise.
Virtual products just won't hack it in a biscuit based environment.
Mind... Kris has been known to separate out the nuts from a bar of fruit&nut

take one of this. Pour the contents of the tin in the jar of the machine. Switch on the power supply and wait for 9.32 Seconds (keep a stop watch to exactly switch off after the specified time. Alternatively you can have a accurate timer and a relay)

Pour some of it (quantity = 12.2 times of the total biscuits by volume) and again switch on the power for another 17.28 seconds.

Take the finished product out and put into a jar. Allow it to stand for 17 minutes. Put in a fridge and freeze to 6.5 Deg C.

Carefully take out the top layer and keep aside. This is the cream. Now carefully take out the top layer and keep separately.

Put the rest of the material into this and take out different layers.

Reprocess the layers in a .. to make the biscuits.

A digestive biscuit just sounds wrong all over, something like Arrowroot for old folks - are we discussing a cookie?

Only time I eat a cookie is on road trips. Only cookie I eat is these:

And only time I eat them is when I start getting sleepy.

They have a natural consistency approaching slate roof tile.

So when one gets tired and the radio just won't do it anymore, even when you sing along:

Pour hot coffee from thermos into cup

Pour cookies into hand

Dunk cookie into coffee - JUST long enough

Juggle coffee, cookie, steering wheel, throttle, any mis-step involves scalding coffee in your lap

And coffee soaked ginger snap - yum

The best biscuits for an engineering environment (at least here in the States) must go well with coffee - lots of coffee. Mug not included, but available for sale.

"Mug not included"

I seriously think that bit need re-wording...... several possible meanings, and most of them could result in you being found floating in the water cooler !

I'd say it depends on the time of day they were served. Definitely not before noon, or during late afternoon. Ok for after lunch, with soda or some other soft drink.

Wait, I'm being too serious... Give me those, and I'll take care of them!

Re: Suitable Biscuits for an Engineering Environment

Come on guys, get real.

Home cooked ANZAC biscuits are the only answer. Put them in a tin and they will survive all engineering challenges. Back of the van to and from work for a month, in the shed waiting for the next tinkering job, in the desk for morning tea each day.

These biscuits are a little softer than the ginger snaps, but will survive travel and handling abuse and still maintain freshness and shape. Plenty of sugar (for that instant pick me up), plus rolled oats for the long haul. I add a few other items to the ones that I make for variety, like sultanas or chocolate chips, dried apricot or similar.

Always washed down with proper coffee or tea, NEVER soft drink.
