a hob nob is a magnificent biscuit
Over here (Switzerland) you can get biscuits called "Haferli" - which have emblazened on the wrapper "The Swiss Digestive". But its not, its the Swiss Hob-nob. Much smaller version but definitely closer to a hob-nob than a digestive.
I'm not saying we miss English biscuits - but we did take 14 packets back with us last time!!! (No Hob-nobs though - Bourbons, Custard Creams**, Ginger Nuts and many boxes of Shortbread)
** As an aside we had lunch at Marcus when we were in London and the takeaway at the end were some Custard Creams. They were good but not up to the standard I was expecting - too much nutmeg in the custard and the biscuit itself was too buttery.
