About the Book

It began with a biscuit. Not a grand biscuit, nor a terrible one — simply a biscuit, unremarkable in every way but the one that mattered most: it was there.

From the first bite to the final crumb, this is the saga of that biscuit, told with the seriousness it never asked for and the depth it could never deserve. Along the way, hunger wrestles with hesitation, distractions arrive in the form of a knock at the door and phantom phone calls, and the great philosophical questions of our time are asked — such as whether regret tastes different when it is edible, and why the fridge is always worth checking at least three times.

What unfolds is a journey of persistence, doubt, distraction, redemption, and peace — a reflection not just on food, but on the act of continuing when there’s no clear reason to. It is an ode to imperfection, an examination of patience, and, somehow, a quiet celebration of knowing when something is enough.

The biscuit is long gone now. But its story remains.

What Critics Are Saying

“The author clearly has a gift for description and setting a mood. His simple word choice and attention to the smallest detail is remarkable as he mines the depths of the textures and taste of his biscuits with droll moments of humor… The story’s greatest strength is an understated yet inescapable wistfulness.”
BlueInk Review

“As the story progresses in its weird, nearly delusional level of rapt concentration, Davis works hard to invest his readers in the mini-drama of a good biscuit: the anticipation, the consumption, and the baking. He cannily uses dramatic language (‘I could see it: that perfect version of myself pulling the tray from the oven’) in order to color a story of ‘a biscuit worthy of folklore.’ As such, the storytelling is unquestionably passionate.”
