CHOCOLATE SANDWICH BISCUITS
Nah, because we still have that.
D.C. has entered the chat. And, it’s pissed! 🤣
Yankee Doodle went to TOWN on that British ass
You mean Hydrox, right? The original chocolate sandwich biscuit.
We definitely don’t call them that.
Also we have Bourbon Biscuits which are just lovely.
The American word for biscuits equates to a spongey, mostly tasteless muffin. People in the south sometimes pour gravy on them and call it a meal.
And that’s why the American language is so strange.
I think one day in history the dictionary everyone used got coffee on it and the words had no definitions so they had to assign them to whatever they thought was right. Sadly they were wrong.
Actually most of our words are British words but Britain changed there meaning take soccer thats what the English used to call it because of the long socks the players wore Britain lost the memo but America remembered
They pour some weird white liquid that looks like cum on them, but it ain’t gravy.
Mostly tasteless? You need to try a better biscuit. Also, while that biscuits and gravy thing is true, they’re more often either on the side or cut in half with bacon and eggs or something in between the halves. It’s not something you want to eat every day, but once every few months on a Saturday morning it’s incredible.
That’s a bacon and egg roll. We make them using actual bread rolls.
I’m not sure that person has ever actually had a biscuit. I’ve never had a “spongey” biscuit. They are nothing like muffins either, which are closer to cake.
To Americans, biscuits are bread leavened with baking soda or baking powder.
That’s it. Bread.
Where I’m from we serve them with a sausage patty in between the halves, and gravy on top. No one eats just a plain biscuit by itself… And they’re supposed to be fluffy and moist, not ‘crumby.’ What was described in the original comment is exactly what a plain, stale biscuit tastes like. That’s like an American taking a cold can of chili, dumping it on a slice of bread, and talking about how terrible beans on toast is…
Someone really needs to start making actual bourbon biscuits.
Like, yeah, they’re the best and all that. But, what if I need that bit of something to get me through the day? I can’t have a drink at 9 am because it’s frowned upon. But a biscuit? Yeah, that’s calm.
Yeah that British person was trying to wind up OP.
Bourbons shit all over oreos too, oreos are perhaps the most overrated biscuit out there.
Oreos are horrible, over baked and hard tasteless pucks of biscuit with a lump of fat in the middle. Custard Creams piss all over them.
Hah.
Why are custard creams boring compared to bourbons?
Beige.
Though I love them both.
Can we really call the Oreo cream custard if there’s no egg or milk, tho? Or are you talking about a 3rd thing and I completely misunderstood?
Bourbons and custard creams are possibly the two biggest sandwich biscuits in the UK, bourbon is basically a chocolate variant of the custard cream.
Ah, I see. Thanks :D
Oreos taste like nothing anyway. So not a loss in my book.
Thank you, I remember being young and trying them for the first time excited as American culture had bigged them up no end, and they turned out to be bland as anything and nothing on a custard cream.
If there’s no hobnobs, no custard creams, no bourbon, no fly cemeteries, no Garibaldis, no choccy digestives
I’d still rather eat a pink wafer before an Orio
They’re like the biscuit equivalent of beige
That’s what happens when you eat too many Neos
The fact that the US considers Oreos edible is enough reason to resist US neocolonialism.

Well at least they don’t call it Hydrox 💀
