I’m quite partial to the odd chocolate digestive as a post ride recovery aid, so when I spied these new Double Chocolate digestives in the supermarket I thought it was too good to resist – chocolate digestives with extra chocolatey goodness, what could possibly be wrong with that?
Well for starters, the (buttery) biscuit base has lost some of that good old digestive texture and is a bit more like a round bourbon, then the chocolate chips in there are few and far between, so (post dunking) you just end up with a homogeneous mush without any nuggets of crunch or extra chocolatey bits.
Fox’s extremely chocolate chunky cookies are still the gold standard as far as I’m concerned, but I suppose I’ll have to finish this packet just to confirm my suspicions.
I’m sure some of my relatives hunt out the Peak Freenes “Slightly Dissapointing Chrimstmas Assortment” each year which contains biscuits carefully designed to taste much blander than they look.
@dannybgoode, you are so wrong there. Dark chocolate is the only way to go – the milk chocolate digestive tastes of sugar and not much else. Disgusting.
A marshal was handing out Bourbons at the top of the grassy climb just before the Red Bull section at Mayhem on Sunday morning. Stupidly, I took one, and got a really slow time on the section as I was totally preoccupied with trying to consume the horribly dry biscuit.
Still, nice gesture, just wrong biscuit.
My wife bought a pack of Oreo a couple of weeks ago. I explained that a divorce was inevitable if she ever brought such crap into the house again.
For a nation that consumes so much snack food, the Americans have some bizarre tastes. Oreos seem to be a national sensation, and they’re one of the most insipid excuses for a biscuit I’ve ever come across.
Just about anything gluten free. When I sliced my hand up, I got to spend about 5 hours in A&E on a saturday night. My only source of amusement was to hand out gluten free choc chip and digestive biscuits to the unsuspecting public and watch their faces.
@DR it was elevenses. And I didn’t stop, either to pick up the biscuit, or to consume it. But it did distract me a bit, so was probably a tactical error.
