Well, i just saw them last week in a local supermarket in the SF Bay Area
(Andronico's). I had never seen "toaster biscuits" before. They look like a
cross between an English muffin and the spongy commercial crumpets that are
also sold here. (are real crumpets that soft and pasty white?)

I don't own a toaster and am not much of a bread eater (bring on the rice
and couscous), so i haven't tried them.

They may have been Orowheat, i do occasionally buy their Health Nut English
Muffins (but without raisins - i don't like the sweet stuff much), but i
didn't really notice.

Good luck at solving this.
