Choc Digestive Smart Price biscuits...Yuk.

Advantages: Smart Price 27p
Disadvantages: Not very chocolaty, very hard and crunchy. Don't like. Not nice.

... Asda Smart Price Milk Choc Digestives.... Spotted these cruising down the biscuit isle at asda - as cheap as - at 27p so in the trolley they went, we already buy some of the other Smart Price Stuff including some of the biscuits so thought these would do the job. So my 27p got me 300g worth of biscuits about 20 of them I'd guess, on went the kettle and out with them. The packaging is standard no frills white and green 'Smart-Price' plastic, does the job with no excess packaging. Pack states "Produced in the Uk For Asda Stores Ltd" I won't bore you with ALL the ingrediants and labeling etc ...But: Fat is 2.9g and Sodium (Equiv. as Salt) is 0.2g per Biscuit. First impressions... On opening pack they Look OK, with a fair layer of chocolate on the top. The bottom is imprinted with "Sweetmeal Digestive Biscuits...

Review of Asda Smartprice Milk Chocolate Digestive Biscuits

Very Smart biscuits indeed!

Advantages: Very good quality and a low price product
Disadvantages: None in my opinion!

...Review of Asda Smart Price Digestive Biscuits Asda's own label, economy range is known as Smart Price. In line with many other supermarkets, the Smart Price range has been introduced to offer shoppers a low budget alternative to costlier ranges. Asda Smart Price products can be found right across the store and incorporates many everyday items which are simply packaged and low in price. Some are better than others and these sweet meal digestive biscuits certainly fall into the 'better' category. Packaging and Appearance The biscuits are packaged in Asda's Smart Price garb of basic white and green wrapping. The biscuits are encased in a plastic wrapper which bears the company logo, product description, nutritional information and ingredient list. There are no pictures or images apart from a silhouetted green cup and saucer...

Review of Asda Smart Price Digestive Biscuits

The king of digestive biscuits

Advantages: Unparalleled taste and texture
Disadvantages: Impractical packaging

...These are quite simply the best digestive biscuits I've ever eaten, bar none. Opening the packet, a striking malty aroma confirms that these are going to be different. On biting you get a sugary tinge on the tongue, with a hint of caramel, probably from using less processed sugar. It's very slightly shortbread-like, although the biscuit achieves this without compromising the gritty wholegrain texture you'd expect from a digestive. They're more expensive than most digestive brands but, given the increased cost of the organic ingredients and the clearly superior finished product, they represent excellent value for money. The only downside is the packaging: it has this absurd plastic tray inside that not only negates some of the environmental benefits but also makes it impossible to twist-reseal the packet - making them less...

Review of Sainsbury's Organic Digestive Biscuits

McVities Milk chocolate digestive biscuits

Advantages: A superb chocolate biscuit
Disadvantages: too many arent good for the figure!

...This week Sainsbury`s have McVities chocolate digestives on offer, a whacking 50% reduction. The biscuits have a good sell by date on them so I stocked up and bought four packets. If they had been on the shelf at full price I would have more than likely considered buying their own brand or even buying the Sainsburys Basic range chocolate digestive. Admittedly the own brand and basic range don`t have the refined almost `syrupy` taste of McVities but when the chips are downits beetr to keep a tight rein on the weekly shopping budget. McVities is a brand owned by United biscuits, McVitie and Price were originally Scottish biscuit makers and started baking their delicious biscuits in the early 1800`s in the city of Edinburgh. The first big selling biscuit ever made by McVities was the digestive. Then in 1947 the company were asked to...

McVities Digestives Biscuits

Advantages: it fills a gap
Disadvantages: a bit plain

...So here I was last night and finally got a message from Ciao which let me get back into my account and by the time I had found the email and the new password, I only managed to rate one days works. So here I am this morning rating now from the 16th February and stacked up with coffee on tap, I thought I wonder if I have any nibbles and in the back of the cupboard there was a packet of McVities Digestive Biscuits. I have not had these for ages and thought these will do whilst I plod along. Now I am not a biscuity sort of person but today is going to be a long day, so hey ho and here we go. I bought these on special offer at Spar the other day and you paid 99p for a 250g Milk Chocolate Digestive and also got a 250g Original Digestive Biscuit with it as well, so I thought well that is not bad for them, so off it jumped into my...

Review of McVitie´s Digestives

Ho-Ho-Hovis!

Advantages: delicious, goes with cheese, good for taking out and about
Disadvantages: /

...When we went to a park last summer, it was a glorious hot day. It was approaching lunch time and we were beginning to get a little hungry! The last thing we wanted was a big carton of steaming hot chips from the van nearby. What were we going to do? We had almost forgotten we had packed lunch, until my mam whipped out a packed of digestive biscuits, along with a few other bits and pieces. They were made by Hovis and came in a plastic packet. The packet was quite plain, to be honest. It was red and black in colour,nothing too attractive! However it was not the packet I was that interested in - I wanted to see what was inside! We sat ourselves around a picnic table, the digestives in the middle. Since I had never had them before I was quite curious to see what they were like. Pulling one out from the packet, I found that they were...

Review of Hovis Digestive Biscuits

Out of date digestives??

Advantages: Mcvities Quality
Disadvantages: Don't taste too good

...I am a great fan of the original Mcvitie's digestives - they are so simple yet so tasty. They taste great with a drink of tea also. The first time you open the pack they are really golden, crunchy and crispy. After they have been opened - the rest of the digestives in there don't taste as good as the first few fresh biscuits from the top. We have a biscuit tin at home and I asked for a biscuit. I grabbed a digestive from it and started munching on it. It tasted slightly off....the flavours of the other biscuits had mingled in to it and madeit taste somewhat.... fusty? So I thought... I was later told by my brother that our mum had purchased some 'New' Mcvitie's digestives. Apparently called Lemon and Ginger. So that is why they tasted different! Was my judgement on the biscuits biased due to thinking that they had been mixed...

Review of McVitie´s Lemon and GInger Digestive Biscuits

The digestive biscuit of a phone.

Advantages: Good for a basic user, games, internet, text, reception.
Disadvantages: Settings, camera, durability, keypad.

...The Motorola L6 is a strange item to review - it can be excellent and it can be awful: it depends who you are and how you want your phone to be. After this review, hopefully you can make your own judgement on whether this phone is just right for you. And the digestive biscuit themed title will be explained at the end! PHONE BUILD The phone is incredibly thin and this is a good thing - it fits into pockets so snugly: a down point is when sitting down, it can really dig into your leg and is very hard to get comfortable with. The side buttons are quite cool and accessible - the left one being the internet access and the right being the camera which is quite helpful. The screen can get smudged really easily though, and this can be large problem and can get very annoying quick having to clean it, or live with a messy screen...

Review of Motorola L6

Gingernut Biscuits

Advantages: Oh so heavenly!
Disadvantages: They taste better on the second day, but they're so tempting!

...I take my role as "housewife" very seriously. I'm so 1950s, it hurts. Anyway, home-baking has now become an integral part of my routine, and you'll always find fresh-baked cakes and biscuits in our kitchen. I have small children, and shudder with horror at all the additives shop-bought treats contain. It's not good for my figure, but I'm saving my children from chemical nasties. That's how I'm justifying it anyway. So, gingernut biscuits. I found this recipe fairly recently, and it's going down a storm in the Douthwaite household. It's too good to keep to myself, and it's so simple that even my three-year-old can do most of it (except the hot stuff. I'm not that irresponsible!). Plus, they only take 10 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook, so you're in and out of the kitchen pretty quick. This is a real bonus for me - I love...

Review of Recipes for Cakes and Biscuits

Spicy Biscuits

Advantages: Tastes amazing!
Disadvantages: Always get eaten by housemates before I get round to trying one!

...As a child I absolutely loved cooking with my Mum. I have really clear memories of me standing on a chair against the kitchen side helping her makes cakes and buns. Sadly the older I got the less I used to cook, but when I went to university I got back into it. Lets face it?on a boring Sunday afternoon what is better than making loads of biscuits for your housemates (in fact I used them as a bribe to give me more time to pay my bills!!!) I love cooking any type of food, but biscuits offer the most satisfaction I would say! This recipe was first made by me and my Mum when I was four and is, lets face it, rather nostalgic. I have made it loads of times for my housemates and they love them, so I thought I would share it on here. SPICY BISCUITS comes courtesy of my Mum and a mixture of many cooks books over the years. I found it...
