Bichi...Bikki...Biket...Biscuit...

Hi all,

I am very pasionate towards biscuits and cookies. Since my very younf age i was fond of them. I have no words to explain my desire for them. It does not mean that i will eat tins of cookies or biscuits, but i need them everyday for sure. Like how people is addicted to coffee, i need biscuits, especially in the mornings when i have my milk.

My mom used to tell others proudly that i was not at all a naughty kid. Just 1 milk bikkis is enough :rolleyes: to keep me silent and that is how she was able to cook and maintain the house were nearly 15 people lived (Yes a joint-family).

Even when me, my sibling and cousins went to schools, as soon as we get up in the mng, we will be asked to brush our teeth have 2 dates, take a 10 mins walk. Refresh for 5 mins, sit and study. While studying we will served with 1 glass of milk and 2 milk biscuits or marie biscuits. So that we dip and have a bite, in the mean time the milk will get slightly cool and then we drink in a stretch and start studying.

I was not able to get away from this habit, i kept this as a practise even in the evening time of taking milk. Till now i follow the same though my sibling or cousins have come out of it.

After getting married when my in-laws and hubby came to know about this, they started laughing. If they see me with a glass and biscuit they will start teasing me. At times my DH will boast this with his friends when he picks biscuits for me from the grocery store telling "Enga veetu Paapa'ku" (Enna kodumai Saravana idhu).

I dont eat cream biscuits or salt biscuits i just go for the plain one's like Marie. I dont know whether this is a bad habit or not, but i dont feel like quitting.

My mom used to say biscuit is a part of my life and blood.

Around 2 yrs i used to call it Bichi....
Later i called it as Bikki...
Then as Biket....
Finally as Biscuit...

When people have the habit of taking health hazardous items though knowing the ill effects, should i quit these innnocent biscuits?

Why i am writing this stupid habit of mine is, I am out of biscuits for the past 1 week :( Since he was busy for the week i didnt trouble him. Today will have to get it for sure.

Cindu, I am with you on this Bikki topic. Biscuits and Milk - is there any quick snack to beat that - I wonder!

I used to eat A LOTTTT of those tiny salty ones when I was young.

By the way, the one regular thing my hubby and I enjoy relaxing in the afternoon is a Hot cup of Tea and our original Parle-G.

Oh my dear Venus love to see such a response. . Have you ever tried marie Vita Gold variety with tea. Excellent combo. Do try if u get a chance.

The Word " Bikki" made me smile because even my little son says same thing for biscuit !
I also love biscuits especially the "Nice" variety ( coconut flavour, with sugar crystals on top) Also Bourbon.
Nowadays in shops there are whole shelfs full of so many different kinds biscuits. How can we resist !
Afternoon tea tastes good only with two Marie biscuits to dip in tea !

I dont know why some people think only kids should eat bikkis ! We should give them some 50-50 biscuits with a nice spicy cheese topping then they will also start singing Biscuit- praises !!!!!!

( but Cindhuja, most of biscuits are made from Maida flour and fat. So eating too much is bad for health. That does not mean we should not even look at them. About 2 or 3 for one day will be ok i think )

Hi Swarnalatha,

Yes i agree the fact of ingredients in it. I do take just 3 or 4 not more. Will try to limit soon. Thanks & you reminded me about the yummy bourbon. Those days it was a quite costly biscuit. If some guests used to get them i used to thank them specially :)

Hi Cindhuja,

Count me too.. After reading this i just went to kitchen got two cookies and started replying for this thread

Hi Cindhu,
Me too.......till now I am a fan of Biscuits.....any type......cream....plain......salted.....but the only thing is that I should have it in my bag where ever I go.
May sound very funny but sometimes when I feel very hungry and no time for launch, my little favourites saves me for an hour or more keeping me full.
When I saw the title, I thought it must be about your little one who used to call his fav. with this name........
Anyways, I don't see any harm in taking biscuits as long as you count your calories.
Regards.

Hi Cindhuja

what a coincidence that at this very moment I am having a hot cup os coffee and biscuits!

For me eating biscuits is an absolute must in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon as well with my coffee.
And what marie biscuits do for you goodday buiscuits do for me

Hi Cindhuja,

Though not crazy over biscuits, would like to have a few during tea time that too only on weekends. My all time favorites are Milk bikkis and Brittania Marie gold.

Hi Cindhuja,

Good write-up about your Bikki.

Me too love them, but it is not as if I can't do without them.

I love Britannia 's cream bikkis ,Good day and 50-50 bikkis...

In the cream bikkis, I will lick the cream first and then eat the bikkis..and as venus said, I too have had a lot of the tiny salt ones, when I was a kid.

Okay, by this time hope you have got this week's share of the bikkis....enjoy.

bye
