Digestive biscuits are a staple in British households, with McVitie's being a long-time favorite. A recent taste test evaluated various supermarket alternatives from Lidl, M&S, Asda, and Aldi. Lidl's biscuits ranked lowest due to a strange flavor that resembled a Rich Tea rather than a traditional digestive, earning a score of 2/10. M&S's offering was too tough and chewy, resulting in a 5/10 rating. Asda's biscuits, while crumbly, had a flavor similar to McVitie's and scored 6/10. The standout was Aldi, whose biscuits not only matched McVitie's in flavor and texture but also came at a budget-friendly price of 59p, earning a top score of 10/10. McVitie's, priced at £1.88, still holds a special place for many as an ideal companion to tea, receiving a score of 9/10.
