Hob Nobs

Heather queried:

Oh my God in heaven, I go away for one day and I come back to dozens 
of messages about food, including this one followed by what look to 
be very threatening messages entitled "Answer the biscuit question 
already."  I opened one (message, not biscuit package) with trembling 
fingers, afraid that all this impatience was about Hob Nobs and that 
a Mafia hitman was going to appear at my door.

Much to my relief, this is not the biscuit question in question.  At 
least I think so.  I haven't waded through all the messages yet.

Anyway, Heather, yes, those are almost definitely Hob Nobs.  I'd have 
to have a closer look to be absolutely sure, because sometimes there 
are pretenders that are mere arrowroot biscuits hiding under the 
chocolate coating, hoping to lure some famished pilgrim to the Land 
of Hob Nobs into buying them instead...IF these are oat cookies, 
they're the ones.

to pick up enough Hob Nobs for the trip
