Jammie Dodgers

[Steerpike]

After hearing about these cookies for years from people across the pond, I finally came across a bag of them and bought them.

It was anti-climactic. They were OK. Certainly not bad. But nothing special.

I also bought a tin of Spotted Dick on the same shopping trip. That wasn't bad.

Jammie Dodgers are okay, but you can't beat a chocolate digestive in a cup of tea

Also what the spotted dick is spotted dick?

That looks good, I may have had it, actually. Not the best of names though.

If you are going for "British" cookies may I humbly offer up the Eccles Cake. So many calories so little volume...
Please note the "Fire Hazard" - any food that can burst in to flames is okay by me...

I've never had brand name Jammie Dodgers, but I've had very similar cookies from some local brand here on Long Island. They're okay; I don't care much for the ratio of cookie to jam. I prefer things like button cookies (the ones with just a bit of raspberry jam in an indent in the centre). But then, my favourite British cookie is digestive biscuits, so I'm probably not a fair judge of good cookies.

I second Eccles cakes. Delicious.

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread:

The best british biscuit in my opinion is the HobNob. It is also known as the marine of biscuits, when dunking them in your tea. Yum.
