No.
They are not a unit of XVIIIš Century.
There is food from XVIIIš Century.

I thought the Biscotins were where the Biscotti lived. Biscoteque was where they partied. |

And what on earth has this to do with miniatures? |

And what on earth has this to do with miniatures? Do you feed you army sometimes ? |

Do you feed you army sometimes ? No, they're made of lead or plastic, so don't need feeding.
This should be on the Food or Reenactment Boards (or both) on TMP Plus. |

A Biscotin is a metal container to hold Biscotti. |

A Biscotin is a metal container to hold Biscotti. And you fasten it to a bricole: is the reference now "TMPist" enough?Seriouly, it happens that some wargamers' interests are not strictly restricted to the military background of their favorite army… |

I think a unit of Perry Zoauves called "The Biscotins" is essential for my Imagination (Shades of Early Byzantium and "Boukellarioi" |

@ freecloud I think a unit of Perry Zouaves called "The Biscotins" is essential for my Imagination What period? The Perry ones are in chechia, not even with a turban as the early ones: picture picturewhich would make them fitting more easily in a 18th C. Imaginary Army (of course, it can be done with greenstuff, but…). With turbans, 19th C. zouaves can indeed appear in a 18th C. imaginary army, like these aliies of Monte-Cristo: link
If you want to add exotic-looking "Biscotins" to the forces of your Imagi-Nation, what about Sikhs of the 1st Sikh War link ? Like early 19th C. Ottoman Nizam~Cedit picture picture
their uniform combines 'local' and 'H&M European' features in a way that make them usable in a wide range of time -for Imagi-Nations at least

No thanks, I'm partial to salt pork and hardtack |

@Abdul my Legion d'Orient/Gianitzaroi (for both my outfits) are those Nizam figures – spotted 'em years ago :-) But those Perry Zouaves are also way cool…. |

Biscotins are very hard on the teeth, so could be a means to bring injury to your opponent. If the injury did not bring users to their knees, then the amount of sugar in the recipe would be equally as effective. Cheers, |
