Yep

Yep - you can eat them, I cut 'em roughly in half and slap butter on 'em, other prefer cream and/or honey. You need something fairly sticky otherwise the crumbs get everywhere coz they are fairly hard and very dry.

Or you can throw them - but not this year, coz the festival's been cancelled;

Or
(D) Feel Insulted.?

I wouldn't complain.

I think it's a great present. My daughter sometimes makes me a few nibbles as a gift, they're lovely and I really value them.

None of the above. I have heard of them but that is about it. However I like foody gifts and things that are a bit different, especially regional foods.

e) I would be pleased and intrigued.

I agree with NG plus you get a useful looking tin once you've eaten them all.

Ok just had a gurgle and yes my opinion of the person who gave them to me for Christmas would go down.

**Nicos** · 04-02-2018, 09:12 AM

I know about them but never eaten one.
I'd be really chuffed to try something different.
Love the tin!

Te h�.....I just spotted this on Wiki..

"A Dorset knob throwing competition is held in the Dorset village of Cattistock every year on the first Sunday in May.[4] The record throw of 29.4 metres (96 ft) was set in 2012.[5] The festival also includes such events as a knob and spoon race, knob darts, knob painting and guess the weight of the knob.[2]"

Seeing the event is cancelled this year, you've plenty of time to practice for the next one

So...Yup-I'd be very happy with that gift.

I just had to g@@gle too! They sound lovely and the tin is fab

**Scarlet** · 04-02-2018, 09:14 AM

^^^ shame the biscuit throwing day is cancelled for this year - would have been a fun day out!

I'd be happy to receive an amusing tin, whether the biscuits turn out to be to my taste, or not

**Nicos** · 04-02-2018, 09:45 AM

Just think of how many packets of seeds you could put in it afterwards!
