@ghost-of-a-duke saidI'm sure they are good for the digestion; probably scrape out the gut, roughage.
Ooh, I like digestives. (Can eat 5 in one sitting).
Edit: Okay 8.
Clarification please. When I lived in England, people referred to sweet biscuits and savoury biscuits, what Americans would call cookies and crackers, respectively. However, it seems to me that digestives are neither nor. Of course, I'm not referring to digestives garnished with milk chocolate or dark chocolate, but the plain ones. So is there actually third classification of biscuits, into which digestives fall?

@very-rusty saidA bump just for my good buddy 'goad'! 😉
No, goad it got the thread lively.......Do you really think I care about the outcome and that I'll quit posting if the majority who are the misfits and friends out vote everyone else and those who don't even look at these threads because they are more interested in chess. Also they don't want people like you on their backs all the time!!! 😛 😉

The digestive biscuit allows a chap to have a biscuit without enjoying himself. Like the hard grease proof paper qualities of the Izal medicated toilet paper of my youth or a lumpy horse hair mattress, this is the stuff of Empire. Limited understanding of the cultural significance resulted in chocolate coated varieties, but the plain digestive biscuit is the sweet biscuit without sweetness. The character building biscuit that maximises the stiffness of the upper lip. For many years it was the only biscuit offered to inpatients before the world went mad, adding pleasant flavours to medicines. The end is nigh.

@moonbus saidIt's a true fact sir they are not allowed to be called Digestives in America due to them having no actual role in the process of digestion.
I'm sure they are good for the digestion; probably scrape out the gut, roughage.

For clarity, a biscuit goes soft when it is stale while a cake goes hard.

This biscuit thread is really gaining momentum.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidHave you ever tried a cheap "Graham Cracker", shot of Sambuca and an espresso bean for chaser?
Yes. People do rather like biscuits.
After you chew the bean, you'll find pleasure in refilling the shot glass.
Now that's a digestivo's digestivo!
Also, an off-day Breakfast of Champions!
