    Oh, come now, instead of overcooked boiled meat, now they have mushy "curry" in takeout containers....

    They're alright. I don't love or hate them. If they are around I will grab one just because, but if I had to pick a manufactured biscuit, it would always go for a plain old boring digestive.

    Whats the point exactly? I don't like blood pudding, but I don't trash people who eat it. Learn to live and let live. British don't have better taste than Americans. Get over it.

    Well that's the point! Anything more fancy ruins the subtle flavor of tea.

    Reasons why you're wronger than wrong:
    1) Milk
    2) Ice Cream
    ...

    Add Slutty Brownies to your list! Chocolate chip cookie dough crust, covered by whole oreo cookies, covered with brownie batter.

    Yes!!!!
    And also deep fried Oreos!!!!! Deep fried Oreos are the bomb!!!!

    This. OMG. Gotta go to the carnival...even though it's February and I'm pretty sure we don't have those right now in IL.

    What is so good about a sugary, black coloured biscuit with sugary white filling, neither having any flavour? Maybe you poor thing, have never tried yummy biscuits?

    You hate Oreos. I hate Jelly Babies. Who gives a f***?

    May your insufferable attitude give you heart disease. I'd get mine from the trans fat in Oreos but they took it out. :(

    They are but 1 taste is enough to decide they are nasty synthetic American junk and Brits don't buy them. Send us some yummy healthy food instead please?

    I object Madam

    With the greatest of respect you're wronger than a wrong thing ...an Oreo makes 3 distinct treats ...2 biscuits, 1 cream for 53 calories

    This Brit approves

    Of course I've only ever had the regular kind

    The country that invented malteasers, Flake bars, and Cadbury Creme Eggs can't insult the country that invented Oreos for its taste in junk food. I argue they're similarly repulsive if you didn't grow up with them.

    I baked them into brownies once

    Have to say my brownies are better without them

    They're pretty nice in decent ice cream too

    What Carlos_421 is explaining is that Oreos need much help to be rendered palatable.

    No, I'm explaining that everything else in the world is made better by their existence.

    Well op, look up the stats on Oreo sales in the UK. If you don't like them, that's fine. But you certainly can't say that Brits don't like them. Oreo is making plenty of money off of Brits.

    And why would you create a thread about foods you don't like ? It seems juvenile and attention seeking .
