McVities Digestives -a British standard
Girl Scout Cookies -an American traditionGIRL SCOUT COOKIES -SOMETHING I MISS
We're often asked what we miss by living in the UK. Today I got an email from my daughter asking me if I'd like to order some Girl Scout Cookies. That's something they don't have on this side of the Atlantic; and if they did I suppose they would be called Girl Scout Biscuits. I love Samoas, Thin Mints, and the Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter dealies (I don't remember their proper name). The closest thing that is a replacement in the UK are McVities Digestives. Don't ask me why they are called by that particular name. Hard to describe these chocolate covered wonders, but I can consume an entire package in just a couple of days. Hence, they are normally absent from our grocery list. So, Abby -2 boxes of each of those I mentioned. I'll pick them up the next time I'm in America. I doubt if they'll even make it into my luggage for the return trip!

You make it sound like your 25 year old daughter is selling girl scout cookies! (p.s.-Samoas are now called Caramel Delights; strange that they changed the name, huh?)
Yeah, I guess it does sound like you are selling girl scout cookies, but lets face it that's better than making it sound like you're selling drugs.
I'll be the name was changed because Samoas could be considered racist???? Anyway, I don't care what they're called, just as long as they taste the same.
"bet" instead of "be" on the last comment
