Historically, some producers used diastatic malt extract to 'digest' some of the starch that existed in flour prior to baking."<br /><br />I didn't have hankerings for any British food other than Bisto (a gravy mix) before seeing M's haul...but now I think I may need to get my own chocolate digestives....yum!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01672455808755327598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947074607155558850.post-61367783080966103612011-04-12T19:08:51.698-07:002011-04-12T19:08:51.698-07:00I've always wondered if digestive biscuits hel...I've always wondered if digestive biscuits help you digest.

Once, as a b-day present, Gabe gave his friend Matt green bean popsicles. There were some other choice selections, some of which we ate.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889964869198798483noreply@blogger.com
