I’ve found that some of the biscuits called Crackers in France seem to fulfil much the same role but are smaller… Like these (if the link works)

There are TUC biscuits of course - even Lidl have those…

cheese in France is not meant to be eaten with biscuits… fingers, penknife or a knife and fork 
and absolutely no butter on the bread 
Speculoos perhaps with coffee, biscottes for breakfast with compote mmmm

You can’t beat a bit of roquefort with plain digestive - and the reason I don’t have either in the house right now…I’d be munching right through them

Not the savoury ones.

Suddenly reminded me, when we first came to France together on holiday 30+ years ago, we used to stop at the first service station and I’d make a beeline for Bonne Maman sablé biscuits. The ones with the soft hazelnut centres - ideally with chocolate outsides. So French, so exotic at the time and delicious. I’d buy a packet for us to eat in the car as we travelled south through all these quaint French villages

I was given these biscuits as a present - they are made with Comté and from the Haute Savoie
. Fortunately I don’t think I can buy them around here as they were devilishly good!
I’m with Izzy on the ginger biscuits

I love rich tea as well. Can use up a whole cup of tea dunking them!!

There’s not as much chocolate on them as there used to be, mind.

Ginger nuts for me😋 - and you can dunk them!

Now then… I’m thinking chocolate coated biscuits should be in their own category. Always loved a Club biscuit. Will get my thinking cap on for my favourite!

Speculoos are great in many ways…
I use them in chocolate-brandy cake (replacing 50% of the plain biscuits in the recipe)
Speculoos painted with chocolate are very popular but they need “painting and eating” within 48hrs to be at their best.
Crumbled and sprinkled over stewed apples (or almost any fruit) or stirred into yoghurt… sprinkled over ice-cream…
this list is not exhaustive…

The cheaper low cost Lidl shortbread, buttery, not so sweet, a bit of salt and a better crunch than the competitors. Might be a UK thing but I do pack them when we travel
