We found name brand ones and Co-op brand ones but they all tasted the same. We could go through a stack of those in an afternoon.

We found a couple of England stores in Calgary but neither of them have those particular cookies.

Oh well, I guess we'll just have to go back for another visit.

I dimly recall a green packet with those kind of things... called Jaspers or something similar? A google didn't turn anything up though. Does the name ring any bells with you?

Could be. I just can't remember. Its a year now since we were there. I thought it was McVitties. A google search on that come up with fruit shortbread but I'm not sure if thats it either.
