again, or if you prefer yet again, look you see, another one of them posts where (mostly) all you would really need to know is in the title. except for the pictures. whatever it is i have to write on the subject too, i suppose, but i would suspect most just look at the pictures.
so, as you may well have ascertained, i have (recently) bought some biscuits. not just any old kind no, but as it happens the packet which was on special when i went to a shop. this so happened to be a variation on digestives. ones which had white chocolate on them.
whereas my purchase decision was made purely on price, a happy rationalising of it all incident was that i considered it to be quite some time since i had eaten any digestives. provenance was Sainsbury's, but actually no, i cannot recall the exact price. think it was just north of £1. doubt i would have paid, at a max, more than £1.50; chances are i would have looked for cheaper offers.
unexpectedly, or oddly, there are a couple of points of potential interest with these biscuits. not that i have any conclusive or fully thought out comments in regards of them, but still. from what i recall there was some sort of fuss over the name of the biscuits. apparently it was, in the eyes of someone with perhaps too much free time on their hands, misleading to call them "digestives" as they do not in any way help or benefit the digestive system of the person eating them. it had never occurred to me that this is why the biscuits had the name they do, and no, that was not a consideration when either buying or eating them in my life.
for the second of a couple of possible (potentially) interesting things, this business of "white chocolate". i would consider this a kind of pedantic thing but, apparently, such (white chocolate) isn't really chocolate as such. this i am sure i have mentioned before, but from what i gather the stuff we buy that is white chocolate doesn't have any of the stuff in it what makes chocolate. cocoa, i assume. what else they could call it is something that i do not know, hence we call it what we do.
oh, some sort of review? they were quite good. well, the packet of them got polished off fairly quickly, put it that way. digestive biscuits turned out to be just as i recalled, which is reasonably tasty and a most enjoyable companion piece to a cup of tea. would say nice cup of tea but i used them tea bags what they have in hotel rooms, which isn't always the best.
in respect of the white chocolate (or whatever) element, well, it was good, but rather thinly spread over the one side. they could have added more, yet it remains difficult to see how they could have put any less on, or "fewer" since people like to use that word instead so as to sound educated.
no, i didn't discuss these biscuits with Spiros. the last time the subject of covered digestives came up in conversation with him (and believe me this was unsolicited information) he spoke with some fondness of how he ate some, in all male company, which had a sort of quasi white covering but, believe you me, it was not white chocolate.
how likely am i to get these again? quite, if i am feeling peckish and they happen to be on a decent sale or special offer price again.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
