Maynard Wine Gums! (Which are seriously awesome, by the way.)<\/p>\n
McVittie’s Digestive Biscuits!<\/p>\n
Stuff I’ve totally forgotten in twelve years!<\/p>\n
The thing I liked the most, honestly, were the Maynard Wine Gums.<\/p>\n
But a man can’t live on Wine Gums alone.<\/p>\n
For me, the Digestive Biscuits were an acquired taste. I didn’t like them at first. They were too dry. Maybe even a little too insubstantial.<\/p>\n
A few years later, I got a DirecTV dish, and then I got BBC America, and i went hard-core Anglophile, and I started ordered this British food from an online grocer. Wine gums! Digestive biscuits! I’d order a smallish case about once every other month.<\/p>\n
And I developed a taste for the McVittie’s Digestive Biscuits. Milk chocolate flavor, of course.<\/p>\n
When I moved to North Carolina, I worked in a shopping center with a World Market. And I didn’t need the online grocer any more. I could buy Digestives and Wine Gums right off the shelf.<\/p>\n
Damn. Now I’m missing World Market.<\/p>\n
In the last five years, since I left North Carolina, digestive biscuits have been a rare treat. I can find them in one or two grocery stores, but they’re stupid expensive. I don’t remember them being stupid expensive at World Market. Or at the internet grocer.<\/p>\n
Yes, I could quite do with a lifetime supply of McVittie’s Digestive Biscuits.<\/p>\n
I’m like Pavlov’s dog. I’m getting peckish just thinking<\/i> about them… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
