Chocolate Digestive Biscuits, Which Side Up?

There's only one biscuit worth having a thread about, a digestive is not one of them!

I should email them just to tell them how amazing their biscuits are and that they should never change :eek:

This, anything other is way too radical and un English if you ask me, tbh I'm surprised you asked this question on an open forum, next you'll be suggesting trying them with a drink other than tea.:eek:
 
Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

But seriously, has anyone ever been able to pick up a chocolate digestive without leaving a small amount of chocolate on your fingers? Even if they are cold, you pick it up very lightly by the edges, and somehow your fingers are instantly covered in chocolate.

I often use a spatula to 'flip' them in the air, where I catch them and balance them on my hand, so as not to get those terrible chocolatey fingers (no innuendos pls)!

Fear not foolish mortal, put aside your spatula of ignorance for help is at hand. Pick up the packet and place the tip of your thumb under the first biscuit. Tip back head, raise packet to open mouth, press with thumb, consume biscuit in manly, single bite fashion to the admiration of all present. Once this has been mastered, try doing it with a mouthful of tea and take your place as a god amongst men.
 
Things you would be even more mental to eat upside down:

Toblerones. Surely the most awkward confectionery known to man even normal way up. I defy anyone to attempt eating one of these upside down.

Creme Eggs. Anyone thinking of eating via the thick end first should be immediately sectioned under the 2007 Mental Health Act

Walnut Whips. Anyone seen eating a walnut whip upside down is probably working for Al Queda.

But what if they're already in the cookie jar :( I'll probably end up with a face covered in chocolate (no innuendos pls)

I've been known to rest them on the side of the table then flip them upwards and catch with my teeth. :p

Whose a good boy! Yes you are! Yes you are! Would you like another treat?!

Who wants to go walkies!

Because you're clearly a dog :D
 
So it seems the general consensus is chocolate side up?

I'm sorry but you are all wrong. Dark chocolate digestives, dunked in tea or coffee until the chocolate melts a bit and then eaten chocolate side down so that the melted chocolate goodness hits your tongue is the correct way to eat digestives. If you do this with them chocolate side up, you end up with chocolate all over your top lip.

This is undisputable fact.
 
And furthermore - try this excercise: describe a chocolate digestive. You might say, for example, 'a digestive with chocolate on top', or 'a digestive with a chocolate covering' (note a 'covering' would typically refer to something on or on top of something; the upper or outermost part; the part that is seen). You certainly wouldn't say 'a digestive with chocolate underneath', or 'a thin disc of chocolate with a digestive on top'. Clearly the chocolate is on top!

Those TWIX adverts should be banned for a start. All that "one side is covered and the other emulsified" nonsense is clearly confusing people.
