Whereas making anything resembling chocolate digestives is a proper raffle and they end up tasting mostly of bicarbonate of soda. And even McVities doesn't exactly use premium dark chocolate. You wouldn't want to eat a bar of the brown covering they use. No, even you wouldn't.

It's like eating a slab of sugared butter and turns into a sort of stodgy paste as you chew it. If I had a tray of biscuits and a cup of tea it would be my last choice, finishing even behind Morning Coffee and Party Rings.
