M&S Dark Chocolate Digestives - 300g

The digestive is the backbone of the British biscuit tin. Plain ones get dunked without ceremony, but the chocolate digestive is the one people actually fight over, and the M&S packet is the one you buy when you are making a bit of an effort.

People in Canada go looking for these because of a habit, not a craving. The Saturday shop, the packet tucked in next to the milk, the two biscuits with a brew once the bags were unpacked. That kind of routine does not leave just because you crossed an ocean.

They come in a 300g packet, which sounds like plenty until about Wednesday. Keep them in a cool cupboard away from the sun so the chocolate stays put, roll the end over or tip them into a tin, and settle the chocolate side up or down argument before anyone gets hurt.

Most people put them in the basket beside a box of proper British tea bags, which is the correct order of operations. They also sit very happily alongside the other biscuits and sweets from home on our shelves.
