Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Jars, I think maybe oatmeal cookies are close, though not quite.

Or possibly something like the unholy offspring of graham crackers and oatmeal cookies, but still not quite. Digestives don't really have an exact parallel cookie in the US, for which we are all the poorer.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Do you mean the American word for them, or the equivalent kid comfort food cookie?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I dont' think either of those is quite right. What are those teething cookies you can buy?

Ooh, good point, Hil. If it's the latter, then I'd say graham crackers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know -- when wee fists of rage get going ...

Crap.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Rusks? Those don't taste like digestives either. I find digestives sufficiently nasty to never eat them without chocolate, but sufficiently tasty with the chocolate to seek them out. They're like sawdust with potential for greatness, freed by the magic of tea and chocolate coating.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What are those teething cookies you can buy?

Melba toast?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

what's the American equivalent of Digestive biscuits?

Graham crackers are close, as are arrowroot biscuits. Neither are as *tasty* as Digestive biscuits. Now I want a couple of chocolate Digestives ...

What's the closest in taste and texture, is what I'm looking for, really. What do you dip in tea? Or make cheesecake bases out of? Can you actually get Digestives over there?
