I'm pretty sure the American revolution happened because of the most British of things. Their tea was taxed, so tea was priced higher. The Americans tried to dispute this tax so they could keep drinking tea like any British folk but since the tax was for the war effort between Britain and France, Britain didn't lift it. And thus, America was born out of a British need for TEA!
In India we called biscuits well... Biscuits.. And then we found chocolate chip cookies exist.. Now some label say biscuits and some say cookies.. This shit is confusing..

Watched the video earlier today. As I lay in bed, almost ready to sleep, a though comes to me. If biscuit means twice cooked, does that mean that toast is a biscuit?
Korovka is Russian for cow. I doubt that anyone cares, but I thought I should mention it since one of the biscuits mentioned in the video is called that.

@@MisaloSloe American biscuits are different from English scones
This is how I classify these words...

Cookies = soft and chewy biscuits
Scones = scones and American biscuits
This is probably since I’m an American who spent some of the most impactful years of my child development in the UK.
Thanks Austin, I needed a good chuckle.
I have a feeling black pudding would have the same effect on Austin.
Wait...
If British "biscuits" are called cookies in America, then what are American "biscuits" are called in Britain?
Scones i think?
damn, everytime someone said scone, it makes me remember "animal cruelty free phrase" from Peta, feed two birds with one scone
don't forget chips vs. crisps!
