'Secret' Biscuits

[babs135]

Strange how memories just pop into one's head for no apparent reason.  Did people really have a conversation about these biscuits or am I imagining it?  I've had a scroll through here and found nothing but......

Assuming they exist(ed) are they available on the Queen Elizabeth or were they unique to the QM2?

For some reason, cookies are often not put out in the morning and if I occasionally wanted a cookie with my morning coffee, I asked in the Lido [QV] and 'an under the counter cookie' appeared.

 

I took it up to the Grill's lounge one day and from then on, a cookie appeared with my morning latte. Service with a smile morphed into 'service with a smile and a cookie'! 🙂

Thanks for confirming my memories.  Will have to remember to ask for a cookie when we're on the Elizabeth in July

This may be the conversation (from November 2017) you are remembering.

Yep. Knew I hadn't imagined it. Don't know why it didn't come up when I checked but thanks Blue Marble. On the ball as usual.

We got cookies when we went for Hot Chocolate at night time buffet they were lovely (that was just last week )

On a summer trip on QE my husband was unable to locate any cookies even after asking staff possibly because the buffet was closed between afternoon tea and dinner. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and cried from sheer disappointment. They really are that delicious.

I love the chocolate chip cookies but can take or leave the cranberry [?] ones.

Disembarked today - the entire 12 days on QM2 there were only white chocolate chip and cranberry cookies in the buffet (despite a sign saying assorted cookies every day) 😞

How many varieties must be involved for the selection to be considered an “assortment”, rather than, perhaps, a “pairing”?

Who cares? Now the battenberg cake was to die for and appeared in the QE buffet most afternoon tea times (presumably it was in the Queens room afternoon tea too but the queue put us off)

A fair point 🙂 I  was not clear enough - it was 1 type of cookie containing white chocolate & cranberry in it

That's a shame.  I love chocolate but not mixed with cranberry.

Yuck !!! Almost as bad as a peanut butter and clam sandwich.

Please tell me that's not a real thing 🤢

I hope not — I was simply attempting to match as unlikely a combination (using individually enjoyable flavors)  of ingredients as that of white chocolate and cranberry.  An alternative pairing: ginger bread and garlic also came to mind.
