It's National Biscuit Day, so what better excuse to revisit one of the funniest anecdotes about the demise of The Beatles. In 2006, former Abbey Road engineer Geoff Emerick released his book 'Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles'. Among the history of the legendary recording sessions is this biscuit-related drama.

"...I noticed that something down in the studio had caught George Harrison’s attention. After a moment or two he began staring bug-eyed out the control room window… Yoko had gotten out of bed and was slowly padding across the studio floor, finally coming to a stop at Harrison’s Leslie cabinet, which had a packet of McVitie’s Digestive Biscuits on top. Idly, she began opening the packet and delicately removed a single biscuit. Just as the morsel reached her mouth, Harrison could contain himself no longer. ‘THAT B**H!’ Everyone looked aghast, but we all knew exactly who he was talking about. ‘She’s just taken one of my biscuits!’ Harrison explained. He wasn’t the least bit sheepish, either. As far as he was concerned, those biscuits were his property and no one was allowed to go near them. Lennon began shouting back at him, but there was little he could say to defend his wife (who was happily munching away in the studio), because he shared exactly the same attitude towards food."

In February, the estate of George Harrison tweeted a message to Yoko Ono on her birthday, to which one cheeky person responded "I hope y’all gave her biscuits".
