If you like digestives, keep an eye open for Hobnobs - they’re similar, but a bit more oaty and crumbly.
I started a thread a while ago about weird food combinations. One I got from who knows where is Hobnobs and cheese, the sharper the better. I have converted many people by offering them to guests. McVities only of course.
If you buy a box of “biscuits for cheese” you will find (apart from the usual cream-crackers, water-biscuits and Cornish-wafers) digestive biscuits . In the Jacobs selection, this biscuit has the nameHovis marked on it.
I’d forgotten those ! THey used to come in the shape of a little Hovis loaf didn’t they ?
Still do , we had a box of them this Christmas.
Not only digestive biccies, but dark chocolate digestive biccies, when dunked in tea are DIVINE.
The also have digestive biscuits with a caramel and milk chocolate topping, which my husband adores, but I’m not a big fan of them.
You old show off you !!
Actually, I don’t like them (the Hovis ones) with cheese. I prefer a water-biscuit or cream-cracker, but you always get them in the selection box.
Bath Olivers perchance ?
Try World Market or Trader Joe’s. Both carry some international cookies/biscuits at times.
Good lord, now I want some. Grew up with them, they’re a Canadian staple. Off to email Mom again.
Well, RATS! :smack: I was reading this thread thinking, O happy me, I have digestives, and I am very amused 'cos I know that my very first post on SDMB concerned Digestives vs. Graham crackers. *
So there I was all happy and smug, until I read of Irishgirl’s biccies with the caramel layer beneath the chocolate one. Now I’m in about the same boat as many of the USA people,'cos I KNOW I used to like those ones, but I am also sure that I have not seen them for a long time.
Bah! So a biscuit quest for me. THing is, I sort of try not to bother much with biccies - but now if I have to go and do a proper survey of all the biscuit shelves, well, I can foresee a lovely time of returning to the sweet biscuit joys of my youth.
*Never did sort that one out, but I recall that I did also have a great laugh reading about the loony Sylvester (or whatever) Graham. And joined the SDMB, of course, so it was all to the good.
I will get fat and it will all be Irishgirl’s fault. Not my fault, oh dear me no. 
Oh, and the chocolate-coated Hobnobs are pretty good too!
I LOVE digestive cookies.
We also have chocolate coated ones.
But I prefer the normal ones YUM!
