A Goodreads user asked Dave Turner:

Hello Dave, I love your book and I've just finished Old Haunts. I have a question, what's wrong with rich tea biscuits? I love them :)

Dave Turner Ah, my first question! And it is, appropriately, about biscuits! I'm so glad you liked the books! It does mean an awful lot that you've got in touch. Sorry about the delay in replying to you.

I think the Rich Tea's blandness is the secret to its popularity. It's the Coldplay of the biscuit world. Unchallenging and unthreatening. I like a biscuit that makes me think.

And why are they called "Rich Tea"? I've never drunk a cup of tea and said "Ooh. This tea's a bit rich."

I hope that helps.

They're not as bad as Malted Milks though.
