I’m not a fan of ginger snaps
I don’t hate them, but they wouldn’t be my first choice

I think the biscuits John is referring to are called Ginger Snaps in the US- which are fabulous These are the ones I'm on about. They look similar to your ginger snaps. Not sure if they taste the same

The ginger snaps I'm used to seeing are darker--and these look like they have sugar particles in them
Those might be better than the ones I've encountered.

Hmm, granola bar.
There are so many types ranging from chocolate bar in disguise to compressed sawdust to actually tasty without being chock full of sugar.

They do have some sugar in but they don't taste sugary. They do taste great, especially when dunked in a cup of tea. They are good if you are feeling a bit queasy after a night on the beer.
My wife just reminded me of the proper name. They are actually called Ginger Nuts, but I always called them Ginger Biscuits.
These are what we have, in fact I'm just about to have 3 with my tea

Well of course they aren't spicy like a vindaloo, but the really good ones here bite back a little when you get a good chunk of ginger

I can’t be around a box of ginger snaps. I’d drink my coffee and eat the whole box. If there’s another box sitting there, I’ll eat that one to.

Nanaimo bars are way better than maple anything (I'm the Canadian that doesn't go crazy over maple flavour--but hey--more for the rest of you.) I'll just sit here eating Nanaimo bars.

I will look them up and see if they even sell them here. Postage from CA would be crazy expensive, if they even arrived
