I'm not sure if this is for another topic or not, but would these be considered digestive biscuits and if not, what exactly does that term refer to? I do realize that Australian customs differ slightly from the UK and certain terms may not have the same meaning. Thanks again

I don't know if they are 'digestive' biscuits it is not a term common in Australia. I have heard of the term but only in reference to the UK (eastenders I think). Maybe one of the boys from Britain can fill us in

Thanks for the recipe and pics Yowie these look great

Not familiar with the term either but I think he (rationtin440) means if you eat a bunch of these do things.... get moving... digestive wise

Actually I was wondering that myself which was why I was at first hesitant to mention it and have Yowie possibly think that I was insulting his mother. What made me decide to mention it however was I have seen them in stores here and the ingredients seem to be ones commonly associated with calming of the stomach and intestines instead of causing a physic-type of effect. Sorry for any confusion or mis-understanding.

No insult taken mate , no harm ever asking questions. Can honestly say after years of eating these, none of my family or I have ever had any digestive explosions after eating too many of these , however they are high in fibre, as a guess that could be similar to said digestive's.

Yowie...made up a batch of biscuits last night...they came out great!! Your mom has a great recipie there.....thanks for passing it along....best, rich

Thanks, Yowie! I sometimes get over-sensitive about offending folks. I'm going to ask my wife to make some biscuits this weekend. We have a place in Hadley, Massachusetts, called "Whole Foods Market" and if anyone carries that list of ingredients it will be them, so we'll be heading about 1/2 hour down the road and checking them out.
