[bunny_hops]

whats a bread cake? is that the same as a barn cake?

 

[Kes]

english people are just so wired. lol hehehe

 

[bunny_hops]

lol Kes...a cupcake is a cupcake...a bun is bread roll and yet sometimes on corrie they have barn cakes...? dont the americans call biscuits cookies and biscuits are something different lol

 

[Kes]

im not american so i dont know...
to me biscuits are large and cookies are little.... i dunno that might just be my way of thinking!

 

[bunny_hops]

see i always think of cookies being big and round like from greggs, but then you get maryland biscuits which i think are a small cookie hmmmm

Americans just don't use the term biscuit at all. They use cookie for all types of biscuit. I recently went to Costa Rica with some Americans and they loved winding me up about the names of things.

The strangest one for me was that they called chips "fries" but they still call it a fish n chip shop

I see cookies as being crumbly and biscuits as hard (like digestives)

 

[Chala1972]

Cupcakes are american called so as you can use any cup to hand to make em, biscuits are scone like things they eat with their savoury means, biscuits and gravy, they also make sweet ones to have, but they are the same consistancy as our scones, cookies are what we know as cookies, they call all their 'biscuits' cookies, am so glad i am english LMAO x

 

[bunny_hops]

my american friends try to confuse me,but im used to it know lol i remember bring it texas and asking for candy floss at a fair,i had the most strangest of looks,then it clicked its cotton candy there. i'll ask my friend about the biscuit thing as shes had something that she called a biscuit...

when i first went over there she made me toast and asked if i wanted jelly on it lol...i was like woah!..til she explained its jam lol
