Digestive Biscuit
WTF is that? I'm reading a novel. It goes something like this. " More tea? Yes. A digestive biscuit?"
Yes I know what Earl Gray is. BUT! Thanks BB

Edit to add: it's like a cookie. You can usually find these or something similar in supermarkets here. In my case, I usually find them at King Soopers near the pretentious crackers. Edit again to add: by "pretentious crackers" I mean the "Carr's" brand, I can't quite remember what they're called, water crackers or something. Last edited by perth; 10-05-2004 at 07:38 PM. |

Criminal Intent by William Bernhardt. Not a great read for me, at about 1/2 finished. BB

McVitties Plain Chocolate Digestives are the absolute BOMB! Most people swear by the milk chocolate, but I am devoted to the plain. I would say that the closest thing that we have here is graham crackers.

MMMMmmmmm Digestives are my favourite. The correct way to eat a digestive biscuit (imo) is of course to dunk it in your cup of tea.

Why "digestive biscuit"? Are there really any biscuits, besides the ones that I bake, that don't digest? Why not "mastication cookie"?

They were probably marketed at some point "to aid in the digestion".

in which one can read the future.......or am I mixing that up?:P McVities ( Britain's favourite biscuit maker) used to advertise their biscuits with the slogan " A drink's too wet without one" and showing lots of people dunking biscuits into their tea Last edited by DanaC; 10-07-2004 at 02:43 PM. |
