Is there any biscuit better than a McVities digestive?

Possibly a rich tea. Or maybe a fruit shortcake.

Abernethy wins hands down. You are wrong OP😂

Totally agree , Simmers Abernethy all the way in our house
Cheaper than McV Digestives and imho far nicer

McVitie’s Digestives are the absolute best! Nothing else compares. I may occasionally indulge in shortbread, Rich Tea and Bourbons but this always makes me even more determined to stick to digestives next time.

I love Garibaldis, but hardly ever buy them since I’d scoff the whole packet in a day. Possibly even an hour.

Mcvities Digestive Biscuits are absolutely disgusting.

They used to be absolutely delicious and I have eaten them since a young child. Unfortunately the taste is foul and I was so compelled to write to them. (About 10 years ago they changed the recipe and had/have palm oil as an ingredient amongst other things.
Awful and such a shame. My Mother and all her and my friends feel the same.
For those of you that haven't tasted them before, you are being robbed. They taste nothing like they should.
Absolutely ruined.

Oh my goodness. I was diagnosed coeliac 10 years ago and haven't had a McVities digestive since. I've craved them for 10 years.

Have you tried the new bars? Nearly as good so actually amazing @Northernsouloldies .

Borders are the King of biscuit makers.

Any biscuit is better than a digestive. So boring.

Yes I agree. Totally boring and dry! Now add chocolate and it's a definite winner.
