Fantastic Hob Nobs in Minnesota and Where to Find Them

At the corner of 9th and south Nicollet (on the Mall) diagonally
across the street from the WCCO-TV building and right across the
street from Orchestra Hall is "Brit's Pub". Just inside the front 
door they have a tiny glass front cabinet by the cash register with 
an assortment of candy bars and other food. I didn't recognise any 
of the candy bars.

I found Hob Nobs (two words; brand name is one word) in the Lagoon 
St. Rainbow Foods, (Uptown area just east of Lake and Hennepin). 
They also had 'PIMS" which appear to be a very close knock off of 
Jaffa Cake (soft shortbread biscuit, orange filling, chocolate 
covering). These were in the cookie/cracker aisle with the specialty 
and imported cookies. (Look for Walker brand and the others will be 
nearby.)

In addition, in my wanderings, I found 'Duchy Originals' Ginger, and
Lemon Biscuits at the Wedge Coop just south of Franklin on Lyndale.
They were out of Ginger, but I read a review that said the Lemon were
very good. I think I'll try them both. Unfortunately, at the moment
I'm trying to drop 10 pounds, so cookie fantasies will have to wait a
while.

Barb now:
Thanks for the info, Steve! I've been to Brits-should've thought of 
that right away. I'll be checking out the stuff at Rainbow and the 
Wedge, too. (Better before winter comes and I can't exercise outside 
as much!)
