Once in a French HypermarchÃƒÂ© near Her Majesty's last possession in France I crashed into a chap who was clearly from these shores in the patisserie aisle. He was helpless when I said "sorry mate, I was too busy ogling all the tasty looking French tarts"

You can keep your French tarts - nothing can equal good old British crumpet.

I dunk McVitie's Plain Chocolate Digestives in my tea!

I've just eaten an apple turnover and am soon to enjoy a night shave.

Digestives are not biscuits they are the compressed floor sweepings fit for making cake bases only.

That's what they make Morrison's "value" digestives out of. Who ever thought of marketing a biscuit as "digestive" anyway? Sounds so medicinal.

I looked it up on Wikipedia: The name "digestive" derived from the belief that they had antacid properties due to the use of sodium bicarbonate when they were first developed.

So that's why they fizz when I dunk them in vinegar.

Thanks. Live and learn and all that.
