digestive biscuits

British teatime snack

Digestive biscuits are semi-sweet British cookies made with whole wheat flour, traditionally believed to aid digestion—though they don't, really.

They have a slightly crumbly texture and mild sweetness, often eaten plain with tea or coated in chocolate.

I'll just have a digestive with my cuppa.

The American equivalent would be a graham cracker, though the taste differs.
