DH is from England. he said it's like, "like a graham cracker, but you need tea with it."
I've eaten them, and they're a bit dryer than a cookie, but so good.
If you've got a Christmas Tree Shops near you, you can probably find one there to try.
Here's a link to them:

hi
This is what it says on wilipedia
A digestive biscuit, sometimes referred to as a sweet-meal biscuit, is a semi-sweet biscuit originated in the United Kingdom and popular worldwide. The term 'digestive' is derived from the belief that they had antacid properties due to the use of sodium bicarbonate when they were first developed. Historically, some producers used diastatic malt extract to 'digest' some of the starch that existed in flour prior to baking.

This reminds me of a funny story. DH's uncle married a woman who had distant relative in Australia. Two of them, young ladies came for a visit. He told them, we are going to eat at a restaurant with all you can eat chicken and biscuits. They got strange looks on their faces.
When they got there and were served the food, they said, "Oh, you mean SCONES!!"
