This is said to be Prince William's favorite. The "biscuits" are, of course, cookies.
In particular, they are "McVities rich tea biscuits" or "McVities Digestive biscuits".
You may have problems finding these. In Maine, our local Shaw's Supermarket has the
"McVities Digestive Biscuits" in their small British food section. If your city has a British
foods specialty shop, you can likely find them there. You can order them online from here:
Bridgham and Cook - Topsham, Maine or here British Delights - Westford, Massachusetts or
here: Wise Choice UK - Huber Heights, Ohio.
