Hi all,

I'm working on a blog article for a blog with a predominantly American audience (mine is a bit more UK oriented.)

If you're American, does "digestive biscuit" mean anything to you? If so, what? I don't want to totally confuse readers by referring to something non-existant in the US...

Thanks!

Ali

I'm an American and I've never heard of it.

I suspected that would be the case ... I think I'll leave it out, then. Cheers, Dave!

I haven't seen a digestive biscuit for years. I was beginning to wonder if I had eaten them all.

British terminologly is always strange to me. Englanders talk like us, only slightly weird (or we talk like you only slightly weird). I would translate that as an antacid tablet, lol.
