But we won the war, TWICE actually! And because of that, The US own the language now. That's why under language options for global websites, there is "English" and there is "English (UK)."
Digestive were initially created to aid with digestion, hence the name. They just turnd out to be super yummy as well. @hawx4x4 and Phisix, don't bring that talk in here, you're inhibiting the biscuity goodness.
It's an unleavened biscuit. It's called shortbread because of it's crumbly texture due to high fat content. Don't forget to post pics of your biscuits!
Those round chocolate coated crunchy biscuit things from Ikea are awesome. Forget what they're called though. So that's tough shit for you, punk.
You can't beat a pure digestive. I don't like the chocolate ones as they're too messy when dunking. the chocolate covered caramel ones however, are delicious.
And dunk it I do. I actually stopped eating them when I realized I was eating 500 calories of digestive biscuits with ever cup of coffee.
Digestive is the best biscuit in the world to dunk probably followed by the rich tea. The rich tea does however require you to have good timing, a few seconds too long and you will lose half your biscuit and no one likes lumpy tea. I don't really get why Chi loves the custard cream so much, its pretty boring and really is an inferior bourbon. At home at the moment I have digestives, milk chocolate digestives, Maryland choc-chip cookies and bourbons. I always have at least one packet of biscuits spare in my cupboards at all times. Ginger snaps are also good and Mrs Grim makes a mean batch of them. All butter shortbread is fantastic but I ate far too much of it over Christmas. To be honest I just love biscuits and will eat any on offer as long as you don't try to offer me fig roles!
And I don't get why you like the bourbon so much, it's a brown biscuit that doesn't taste as brown as it should. A custard cream has a nice vanilla flavour and is just the right side of sweet.
Bum fights in the UK is HILARIOUS ... but much better in the US My fave 'Biscuit' is the chocolate covered "Thin Mints' girlscout cookie many ppl mistake them for Grasshoppers OT, I like to dip crackers in chocolate milk. I don't know why but everybody not Hawaiian finds that foreign but I swear it's TONS better than dunking cookies :| though both are WICKED good these are better drenched (in hot chocolate) than dunked really many call them 'soda crackers' BUT these are also incredibly awesome when just topped with gelatinous substances such as guava or aprocat jelly these are the better dunkers you don't see them in that pic but they are basically graham crackers, only less honey and more creamy goodness, they have the substance of graham crackers as well only their a bit better says me. YES! says ME! Anyway their now extinct since the makers went under back in 93
