Ginger biscuits are nice

I wonder what type of biscuits the mane cast would like? Biscuits are awesome

Biscuits are great. Any kind you can dip. The ones that fall apart in tea though are just disappointing.

Wait, biscuit means something different to you people across the pond than it does to us Americans doesn't it?

Cookies are a subset of biscuits over here. Cookies over there are what biscuits are over here. I think.

Curious. How does a cookie differ from a biscuit there, then?

And what do you call what we call biscuits?

What does the term biscuit mean to americans then?

Would Rarity prefer Rich Tea biscuits? Or would that be Twi?

Scones?

These◊ are what we call biscuits.

A good rusk is never to be sneered at. I think Rarity would like lady fingers. Twilight butter biscuits. Applejack those with the jam in the centre but instead of strawberry apple jam. Rainbow Dash no idea. Pinkie Pie all of them. But the chocolate covered digestive ones in particular.

Oh British call biscuits what we in North America call cookies. I believe.

Biscuits are like little hard rolls that you put jam and butter on. They kind of suck.

Yeah, those.

Quick Check:

In the United States and Canada it is a small, soft, leavened bread, somewhat similar to a scone. A Southern regional variation on the term, beaten biscuit, is closer to the British form.

In Commonwealth English, it is a small and hard, often sweet, baked product that would be called either a cookie or a cracker in the United States, and a cookie (Bisquit in Quebec) in Canada. Biscuits in the United Kingdom and Ireland may be savoury (savoury biscuits are often referred to as "crackers") or sweet, such as chocolate biscuits, ginger nuts, custard creams or the Nice biscuit.

@ Bluespade: You didn't!

Biscuits are heavenly goodness, especially when paired with eggs and sausage gravy.

Not with syrup and butter. Or with butter and jelly.

I know know how to make doughnuts with them.

Aww, I wanted the palindrome page topper!

That's just bizzarre... British bisuits are awesome!

We get Jammy Dodgers and Custard Creams and Pink Wafers and Bourbouns

Hi everyone. Biscuits vs cookies, I see?

But in Britain, Cookies ARE Biscuits

Yeah that's a scone. And they are beautiful.

I'm not sure what the technical difference is but cookies tend to have things like chocolate chips or raisins or something like that in them.

@Sky It's more like Biscuits X Biscuits.

@ginger What do you call America!biscuits then?

Scones.

I notice Ginger doesn't change his avatar either.
