    My partner is British and we are in the US, so we end up hunting for stuff like this all the time. Luckily a market up the road happens to be owned by a Brit, so we can at least get tea biscuits there.

      I have no idea what makes a good vs bad tea biscuit, but that Indian grocer definitely sold those as well. Idk if that’s just a random coincidence or if there’s some overlap in Indian and British snacks, but if there are any Indian stores near you, you might have some luck there.

      Also Indian food is fucking incredible, so even if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you WILL find something tasty!

        Yes, Indian food is incredible, we are in agreement there. The best biscuits, in our opinion, are Dark Chocolate Digestives (blue package), dunked in breakfast tea just long enough to soften the chocolate. I prefer 3 bites. She prefers to take the whole thing and sho… Well, you get it.

          This might be sweeter than you prefer, but there is a dark chocolate flavor: you familiar with Tim Tams? Or more specifically, the ‘tim tam slam’?

            Tim Tams yes (Australian, but they’ll do haha), but never heard of the Tim tam slam…
