erm...well fondant I suppose in a bourbon context is like sickly 
sweet chocolate cream, like in oreos (I think its oreos I'm thinking 
of).  a digestive biscuit is like an oaty crisp biscuit, not as well 
defined oaty as HobNobs, but more wholemealy.  Its difficult to 
describe - they're just such an ordinary part of life here, everyday 
kind of biscuits - the chocolate digestives are a bit more special.
Jaffa cake biscuit isn't a biscuit by the way its more like a sponge -
 they aren't supposed to crunch.
Anything else I can give a very poor explanation for?
