Super Bourbon



Inspired by the biscuit city I decided do something I've wanted to do since the age of five.


So, who hasn't eaten a cream biscuit, and wished for more cream? It applies especially with Tesco Value Bourbons, where the biscuit is extremely dry.


They cost 27p for a pack of thirty.


Stripping the cream from the biscuit. I used the whole pack, and was left with a disappointingly small pile of cream.


Making a mold out of tinfoil, I over estimated a bit and had to shorten it later.


Before melting.


After melting.


Mold went into the freezer for a while to make the cream hard.


Unwrapping.


The cream needed a little shaping to get it to stand. I'm not sure what to do now, eat it perhaps? The whole thing is less impressive than expected.

Re: potatoes

That would make its 27p cost very good value.

Excellent! Did you put much thought into the design of your Super Bourbon, though? You'd have to dislocate your jaw to fit it around that!

I wonder if the cream tastes any better for having been melted and set again.

I think you would have to eat it sideways. I ate the cream shavings and they didn't seem to taste any different to the cream before melting.

Whoa...the cream went all shiney and stuff...

Yes, that was a bit disconcerting…

What about the gas...

What about the gas and the time you could have spent earning money.

Spend a fiver making one GIANT one!

Re: What about the gas...

Lets be realistic here, I'm far too lazy to actually earn money, and I'm in uni flats, so don't have to pay extra for the cooker.

Very tempted to make one worth a fiver, if only to see the huge pile of wasted biscuits missing their cream. I'll give it a go over the Easter holiday.

Weird! I was eating a Bourbon when I read this. As a child I used to think they should sell bourbons with only one half of the buscuit with the centre on top, cos it tastes better and in my efforts to seperate them they would often break badly and it would be totally ruined. In fact the same thing has happened today several times. But you went too far pie, look at that chocolate, its dark and evil. Exceeding the standard buscuit cream quantity is something man should dream for but never actually attempt. You will be punished no doubt for this unholy crime, perhaps with a stomach ache.

Unholy crime excites me. Why haven't you been online recently?

tim tams

I think if you were really creative and clever then a tim tam biscuit from tescos should be a good challenge. But if i were you i would wait until the summer holidays as it might take a bit longer.

Haha, excellent.

I actually did uni work today also. Not very much, but some.

I just made the kind of laugh that only happens once every month or so, when my sap is rising. A sort of muffled giggle, bubbling up from my chestal cavity thing. Marvellous. I may follow your example.

Can't you get them to email you your password or something?

I wouldn't bother trying yourself, you chew half way through the big block of cream and it starts getting very sickly.

Dave again. I can't be arsesd to go through the rigmarole of emailing right now . . .

I was considering biscuiting it up today.

Possibly with poundland produce - 400g of chocolate mis-shapes, all melted away, spread on bread!

You ever tried toasting bread and then microwaving it into a chomp sandwich with five chomps?
It's the worst toothache I've ever experienced. Somehow the sugar entered my bloodstream in its pure state and then feasted on my brain meat. But, whilst I was clutching my jaw and sucking my teeth to try and distract mself, I was dimly aware - like a fever victim - that it was delicious.

It's most annoying when the internet makes you hungry. I get it happening a lot, especially when I have no food.
