What are digestive biscuits called in the US?!


Question:

What are digestive biscuits called in the US?

Well... "biscuit" in the US refers to a type of savoury scone, and "cookie" is a general term for, well, what non-Americans call biscuits.

So, what are digestive biscuits called in the US? "Digestive cookies"? Somehow, that just sounds wrong =p (and Google gives only 742 results for "digestive cookie"). Or maybe just "digestives".


Answers:
They are called "sweetmeal biscuits" in general but nobody in the U.S eats them (at all). You cant really buy U.S versions of digestive biscuits but I get them from my local british store. If you wanna buy them online here is a website i use:

https://www.shop.britishgoodsonline.com/...

They have fresh/good quality foods and, like all british foods in USA, they cost more than just buying them in England and bringing them home.

Hope this helps! xxx

(p.s a graham cracker certainly is not a digestive!)
