Scones taste better. American biscuits are more like bread.

What's a scone? What's a biscuit?

LET'S SPEAK ENGLISH HERE!
(hehe, I love saying that to British people)

He's talking about our biscuits, Sara. Ya know, the ones you eat with butter and make the Pillsbury kind?

And a scone is like a harder biscuit, except not in two pieces if that makes sense, XD.

Scone: the scone is a small British quick bread (or cake if recipe includes sugar) of Scottish origin. Have them with tea
Biscuit: British word for cookie

You call cookies biscuits? But... biscuits are the rolls you have with dinner, or what you have with breakfast- with ham and cheese and egg on it...

Anyways, we've got chocolate chip, pecan, M&M's, peanut butter, oatmeal, oatmeal & raison, pumpkin, banana, apple, tart, white chocolate, almond, and more. That's just all I can think of right now...

The first time George mentioned biscuits to me I was like "ew, why would you have a chocolate chip biscuit?"

Then I learned it was "cookie", XD.

basically,

if you make a scone with sugar, you cut it in half, put lots of jam and cream on it, and eat it with lots of cups of tea.

if it doesn't have sugar, you put cheese and stuff on it.

Scones are very similar but there's just something different about them.

Very nice.
And a chocolate chip biscuit would be NASTY. I'm not sure I can even process that blasphemy of that thought.

LOL, I get so confused xD
Just call Chips Ahoy and Oreos, a cookie
Just call those things you get from Bojangles with sausage and egg and cheese, a biscuit
And I'll be able to keep up!

I don't get... why a cookie is called a biscuit.. when a biscuit is already something else... do people like to confuse me?

Digestives? Rich teas? Whoa O_O .

As Sara said, we have loads of types. Oatmeal, oatmeal-raisin, sugar, Snickerdoodle (which are YUM), peanut-butter, chocolate chip, double chocolate chunk, M&M, shortbread, all sorts. Mint ones, too. And of course, Girl Scout cookies! Fruit cookies aren't all that popular, though...except Fig Newtons...

Bourbon

Rich tea

Digestives

Malted Milk

Shortbread

Ginger nuts

Hobnobs

Nice

I know! I thought it was George just being weird until he told me that biscuits are cookies over the pond.

WHY IS A COOKIE CALLED A COOKIE? And yeah, I had to put that in all caps. And British English came before American English so if anything, AE was meant to confuse you.

That's exactly what I was thinking of posting! Not said 'nice', but 'niece'.

I love how we've British-ized your English.

Pillsbury makes the best biscuits, I believe...the Honey Jack ones...so good...
