Charles Spence an Oxford University food scientist has discovered the right way to eat your chocolate Biscuits. Yep your are reading this correctly. The correct way is to bring your biscuits with the chocolate facing upwards to your mouth, this creates a visual anticipation of the taste to follow. Then you must flip it over with the chocolate facing downwards before you take your first bite. This is because the most tastebuds on on the surface of your tongue. Gosh what job these scientists have. So are you eating your wrong or right?
Reminds me of the very serious research into the perfect dunking time for a biccie. Apparently between 3.5 and 5 seconds depending on the type of biscuit. I will try the chocky biccie method later.
Rome burns as we practice the art of choccie Biccie eating xx
Amanda…
I don’t have a scientific method….
getting a chocolate biscuit into my mouth as quickly as possible is the only approach I have really perfected….works for me.
….and now I know dark chocolate is good for me…..omg
Smiles, grace xx
Well i”m with you Grace the quicker its in and eaten the quicker the next one. “Any which way but chew”. Mmmmmm.. Yummy dark chocolate now you have got me started.
I didn’t know there was such a perfect way to eat a chocolate biscuit.
Sounds like there’s some really serious research going on at the moment!
Thanks Amanda, Stephanie 💖Life saving advice Stephanie.
Stephanie….chocolate biscuit tester…..these are the jobs you NEVER see advertised 🤣🤣
Oh Alexis you have only gone and done it now, chocolate hobos. Why why why did you have to say it. None in the biscuit tin, and I crave one now. Amanda xx
Alice…dunking is wonderful….unless you are a witch!!!!
Dunking woman years ago was not justice Grace. Because!!!!
“Every witch way you loose” 😂😂😂😂 sorry I’ll get me coatOK leaving now ☹️
Hi Alice dunking is fine, but if you are going to flip the chocolate biscuits upside down as they suggest, I would make sure you have a Bib on first, could get messy. Lol Amanda xx
So, a North America, somewhat equivalent, is the correct way to eat a Pringle chip. Not sure you have across the Atlantic, if not, there is this google thing catching on. Apparently the correct way to eat is the way they are stacked, since the seasoning in on the bottom side, even if flipping gives you the nice “tongue hug” feel. Just my thoughts on a different but “somewhat” related topic.

PS – I didn’t have one of these on my last trip to London so seems I may need another trip
Heather…I don’t think I have had a Pringle long enough to examine it….by the way, is it actually possible to eat just ONE and put the lid back on the tub…I think not!!
Thank you Heather, Pringles are a huge seller her in the UK. The principal of tastes can be applied to many different types of foods especially how you now apparently have to eat them.
Like chocolate biscuits, Pringles are exceptionally irresistible and almost impossible to put down once you start.
Not sure if you have tried Pringle sandwiches, I love them. Lol Amanda xx
The nerd in me couldn’t resist researching Charlie boy. From wiki:
“Charles Spence is an experimental psychologist at the University of Oxford. He is the head of the Crossmodal Research group which specializes in the research about the integration of information across different sensory modalities … [snip] … (he) currently works on problems associated with the design of foods that maximally stimulate the senses”
and later on:
“One of Spence’s earliest and most notable experiments in the field of crossmodal food research was “The Role of Auditory Cues in Modulating the Perceived Crispness and Staleness of Potato Chips,” published in the Journal of Sensory Studies in 2004. The experiment was the first to successfully show that food could taste different depending on changes in sound”
This guy is some cookie !!! [groan]

Hi Marti, definitely knows his stuff that’s for sure, and probably we’ll paid in the process. Lol Amanda xx
I for one, do not remember, ever being told of the possibility of having a career as a Food Therapist. What a career that must be.

Carolyn that not in the spirit of scientific research, but I get where you are coming from. “You are awful but I like you” 😂😂😂😂 lol choccie loving Amanda xx
We don’t have to flip it here in the US. The closest thing is the Keebler Fudge Stripes. They have a chocolate bottom, then the cookie, and then a few stripes of chocolate drizzled across the top. So the chocolate is already on the bottom, and visually on top you see both the cookie and the chocolate.
Gosh they sound delicious and yummy Alison. xx
I just eat straight chocolate, no need to flip.
