M&S 6 Milk Chocolate Coated Digestives

The chocolate digestive sits at the top of the British biscuit table, the one that settles office arguments and disappears first from any plate at a meeting. The M&S version is the one people pick up on the way out of the food hall because they were passing anyway.

In Canada, the searching usually starts with a cup of tea that feels like it is missing something. It is not any chocolate biscuit people are after, it is this one, the one from the M&S bag, the one that tastes like a Sunday afternoon at your mum's.

They come in a packet, so keep them in the cupboard somewhere cool and the chocolate stays where it belongs. For dunking, chocolate side up, a quick dip, no heroics. Leave it too long and you will be fishing the bottom half out with a teaspoon, which is a rite of passage but not a pleasant one.

Most people buy them alongside a box of proper British tea, and the seasoned ones quietly add a second packet, because the first one is never really going to be shared.
