Not sure we really have an equivelent? Would have to taste one to know, lol. The color reminds me of a ginger cookie though.

i liked the link for the 'translations', altho a few of them are somewhat inaccurate, like the one i've quoted below. but the guy who created the list is really funny!
anaesthetist n someone who administers anaesthetic. Americans call them "anesthesiologists", perhaps so that by the time you reach the end of reading their name-badge you're practically asleep.
actually, i have an aunt who was an anaesthetist. she's a nurse, not a doctor. anaesthesiologists are doctors.

No, not at all -- sweeter, to start with, and a totally different texture. You'd have a saltine with soup, a digestive with tea or coffee.

So, more like a cookie than a real cracker? Oh! Perhaps they are like animal crackers?!
just the name digestive does not sound appetizing at all

That's really cool... and I'm in a area that uses the all! LOL I say pop personally.
Exactly. Sounds like something you would have for an upset stomach!Originally Posted by katiemae1277

This is really weird, I know, but the name digestive has me thinking of the lining of a stomach for some reason
That's why I was thinking saltines
So if cookie = biscuit in the uk....
then what do you call a biscuit?

Oh, they are. Actually they're kind of comfort food, with tea or coffee or even milk.Originally Posted by Bonnie1965
That's why I was thinking saltinesThe digestive biscuits sound much yummier though
to me , British scones are very close to Southern biscuits. ours seem a bit softer in texture, & have a higher fat content, & usually don't have fruit [all the ones i've had over there had currants or sultanas in them].
mmmmmmmmmmm scones.

I love the chocolate-dipped Peake & Frean's (forget how to spell it, sorry if I'm wrong!).
I really don't think there is an U.S. equilvilent; Le Petit Ecolier (from France; sold in some grocery stores here), is rather like them.
Yes, those are my favourites, too. Really nice.
