Digestives?
Why is an English cookie called a digestive? It’s weird for an American to hear that term. What does it mean? I am intrigued.

“Digestive” comes from the fact that the cookie contained sodium bicarbonate, and thought to be an antacid that helps you digest.
The original cookie originated in England and advertised as helping you digest.
Of course this was bunk, but the name stayed.

It all depends on what you call a cookie, we have cookies too (biscuit with choolate chips in) however we do also have digestives (biscuit with a layer or chocolate on the top, some are just plain biscuits) There are lots and lots of types of biscuits really. Hope that helps -x-x-
