  • Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.

  • I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Rob.

  • I see you've been tucking into the biscuits again, Rob.

  • Well, I have Neil.

  • You can't beat a bite on a biscuit for a quick and easy, sweet treat.

  • They make me feel good, as long as I don't eat too many.

  • So these are your edible comforters.

  • The comforter is something that makes you feel relaxed and feel good.

  • Put another way, it is your comfort food, which is what we're talking about in this program.

  • Yes, like biscuits, comfort food is snacks and meals we like to stuff our faces with,

  • even if it's not always good for us.

  • We'll be discussing what actually makes us eat the stuff.

  • But how about a question to feast on, Rob?

  • Patrick Bertletti from the USA holds the Guinness World Record for eating the most cream-filled biscuits in one minute.

  • But do you know how many biscuits he had?

  • Was it a, two, b, seven, or c, 15?

  • Well, based on my biscuit eating skills, I'd say 15.
