Cookies

[The Jonster]

That is also true. And with milk, it's awesome!

[Steo]

I have dipped them in tea on occasions too.

[The Jonster]

That is also delicious, I wonder which kinds of cookies work best in milk and which work best in tea.

[Steo]

The main ones I think of when I say cookies are chocolate chip, we tend to call the other ones biscuits over here.

[The Jonster]

That I'm aware of as well. No matter what they're called I still find them delicious. Again I wish they had more flavours of Tim Tam here than just regular and caramel...

[Steo]

I had a habit of just getting chocolate digestives and dipping them in tea.

[The Jonster]

Never had digestive biscuits even though I've seen them. They must be delicious despite the "digestive" name.

[Hunchman801]

Funny how in French the term is used to refer to spirits, not biscuits.

[The Jonster]

What a curious way to call cookies. Spirits make me think of either ghosts or some alcholic drink.

I suppose the closest American thing to digestives is graham crackers. I tried a graham cracker base just once when a Sainsburys that sold more kosher food than usual had them in for around Halloween time and I made pumpkin pie with it.

[Steo]

I haven't had those crackers in years actually, I usually just have digestives or chocolate digestives, and sometimes them oat ones like oaties or whatever they're called.

[The Jonster]

Are those oat biscuits that you describe?

Graham crackers! I just had those recently. They make great crusts. I think iirc I’ve seen digestives in the international aisles in stores.

[Steo]

All the biscuit talk is reminding me of those biscuit tins I only usually ever see at Christmas.

[The Jonster]

I'm suddenly thinking of Danish cookie tins myself lol

[Aaron]

All this speak of digestives reminded me of McVitie's digestive cookies, man these are so good!

OH yeah i have definitely seen those in the supermarket near my house, in the international aisle.

[Cairnie]

Biscuits really don't last long in this house no matter what kind they are. Cookies, oreos, custard creams, biscoffs you name it, we eat them, fast.

I love soft cookies best though like the ones from Subway.

[The Jonster]

Yeah my preferred cookies are soft and chewy.

[Steo]

Oh yeah custard creams are nice.

Do you guys call any biscuit a cookie? In my experience cookies are a specific type of biscuit with chocolate chips in.
There used to be this amazing shop in my town called Ben's cookies where they would store bake the most amazing, gooey, chewy, massive cookies. They always had massive chocolate chips and a big chamber of molten chocolate inside. They would bake them and serve you them warm! But alas, some other more profitable business swallowed up the property and turned it into an Italian restaurant.
I think they still operate in London though. They have big glass windows with Quentin Blake illustrations, which is the same chap who illustrated all the Road Dahl books.
