	Who/what is Graham Cracker? Ian
2613.2	substitute a plain sweet biscuit	CLUSTA::GLANTZ	Mike @TAY Littleton MA, 227-4299	`Wed Sep 12 1990 13:33`	13
	Ooops, that's a good one. We never succeeded in finding "Graham Crackers" in France, so we came up with some acceptable substitutes. Graham Crackers are a sweet biscuit made with sugar and/or honey and graham flour (and I don't actually know what that is). They're light brown in color, and have a particular taste which makes for a nice pie crust. Since it's difficult (maybe impossible) to find them in Europe, you can substitute various other sweet biscuits (cookies). One which we found to work well was a "plain" biscuit made by Lu. I forget now what they were called. The result doesn't taste exactly like graham cracker pie crust, but is still quite good, and doesn't harm the recipe in any way.
2613.3	Try digestives	MAJORS::MANDALINCI		`Thu Sep 13 1990 11:39`	8
	Being from the US and currently living in the UK, it hasn't been easy finding the same ingredients. I have been told that graham crakers in the UK are digestive biscuits (simple, plain biscuits) but I have seen graham flour listed in the ingredients. I've used plain shortbread biscuits and it comes out close enough but a little harder crust making it more difficult to cut easily. Hope this helps wherever you are Ian!!
