Sorry, I dont drink coffee.

Tea? I love scones with tea, the buttery drying texture of a scone goes perfectly with tea.

I am open to persuasion that scones are the perfect accompaniment to tea. Especially with a good jam and clotted cream.

However the question was what is the perfect snack with coffee and the correct answer is ....




Twiglets*




* Only applicable if you like twiglets.

Love twiglets, but with coffee...?

Surely sweet rather than savoury.

therefore a biscuit (personal preference applies) has to be the correct answer

Depends if you take sugar, I suppose. I have one spoon and twiglets are a perfect match. Try it.

Im not keen on twiglets, they leave an unpleasant after taste. Probably just me.

Don't drink coffee, but know the taste. Buttered crumpets?

Tea also works well with chocolate fingers, nibble each end off and use it to suck up a little tea (like a straw). As soon as you feel the tea reach your mouth, stop sucking and pop the finger in your gob.

You can thank me later.

[corner-to-corner] but if you're too slow there will be dramatic melt-down

I may be a wine novice, but I like to think I'm on much safer territory when it comes to matching up a brew.

Coffee = a Tunnocks caramel wafer.

Tea = fish, chips and mushy peas

Clearly I'm a simple soul at heart...

Nobody seems to be differentiating between Earl Grey, builders', jasmine, etc. F & Cs with MPs are only good with builders' although I understand they're also excellent with fino sherry.

Off to Jerez for three days. Intense tasting and then an exam!! I love University Challenge but nothing beats a tasting exam.

Proper non-ponsey tea has only one purpose in life. That is to assist in the consumption of huge quantities of chocolate digestives. Talking about digestifs...
