Commenting on the findings, Jay Lockton, baking and cooking expert from AO.com, said: “Britain has a long standing love affair with tea, making the Best Biscuit debate a controversial one in UK households, which is why we set out to uncover the nation’s best biscuit.
“It came as no real surprise that the classic chocolate digestive was rated the best to enjoy with a hot drink, with other biscuit barrel classics including the ginger nut, custard cream and rich tea all making it into the top ten.
“It goes to show that Brits love the nostalgia of foods that have stood the test of time – despite their simplicity.”
