    Fun fact: The "Dennis the Menace" that Max has heard of probably isn't the one in the Beano. There are childrens comic characters of the same name in both the US and the UK, first published on the same day, by complete coincidence. The UK character is a boy with spikey black hair, and gets full page comics in the Beano. The US character is a boy with slightly floppy blonde hair, and is a single page or short strip newspaper comic.

    I grew up in the states, but for me, these were biscuits, and biscuits and cookies were and still are distinctly different things. I grew up in an Iranian immigrant household, so we definitely have a tea and biscuits culture. In Farsi, we use “shirini” to refer to most sweet baked goods, and a chocolate chip *cookie* would be classified as a shirini. There is a specific type of shirini called a “biscuit” which is said similarly to the French word. Biscuit refers to something hard and crunchy, like a cracker, which is also sweet. Digestive “cookies,” for example, are biscuits to me. We also love tea, and my personal favorite is Ceylon.

    Dennis the menace is actually a weird story also. They were born simultaneously, in March 1951, two entirely independent and wildly contrasting Dennis the Menaces.

    Fun fact, those Tunnocks tea cakes are similar to Mallowpuffs in New Zealand. They're sold in packs of 10, not individually wrapped. They were super popular as a morning tea snack when I was in primary school in the late 90s

    • @fionaclaphamhoward5876
      @fionaclaphamhoward5876 ปีที่แล้ว

      The filling is quite different though. A Mallowpuff is marshmallow, with a spongey "spring" to it, while the Tunnocks Teacake filling is much softer, closer to an Italian meringue. (PS kia ora from Christchurch, NZ)

    • @patriciamorgan6545
      @patriciamorgan6545 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They look similar to a Mallowmar in the US. It's been probably 40 or more years since I've had one, but as I recall, had a medium-density marshmallow filling (softer/airier than the type made for roasting on a stick), a plain cookie bottom (possibly thicker than the Scottish biscuit), and was enrobed in a snappy chocolate shell.

    When I was a kid I always chose bourbon over custard cream - as they would always make me feel sick from both the sweet filling & sweet biscuits- whilst the bourbon biscuit was not too sweet and was a mellow, lovely accompaniment to my tea.
    Also helped that at any function/ event the custard creams would disappear quickly and I was left to happily munch on as many bourbons as I wished.

    How fun is this?! We have a store called World Market here where I think I'll try to find some of these biscuits. We have a chocolate 'enrobed' cookie with marshmallow inside on a chocolate cookies: Pinwheels. They are shaped like a bundt cake and were my late dad's favorite. Love Max and his reactions to some of the comments! 🤣

    • @leapintothewild
      @leapintothewild ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Also look for an ethnic grocery store- I find tons of great sweets and teas at our Asian/Indian/Middle Eastern market! Cant always read the label, but a picture of a cookie is universal. Lol Also an amazing place to find dried fruit, dry beans and rice, oils, etc, and of course spices at a great price, and usually much fresher than the standard grocery store.

    What's the difference between a Chocolate-coated marshmallow treat (invented in the 19th century in Denmark) and a Tunnock's teacake?
    And the Jammie Dodgers looks very similar to the Austrian Christmas cookie "Linzer Augen" (which is based on the Linzer Torte from 1653).
    Funny coincidence, the cookies are also called "Spitzbuben" in Austria, which you could translate as rascal. Which makes a perfect connection to Rodger the Dodger 😅

    When we got danish biscuits on the market in those blue, round tins every kid remembers the disappointment of finding your nana's sewing equipment inside. The custard one's remind me of our "markizy" they also had vanilla cream filling just the biscuits were round. The method of eating I practice, not dearing to say it's traditional one, was separating the biscuits and licking off the cream. Why? No idea. Maybe it made oit last longer.

    • @YaaLFH
      @YaaLFH ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As a child I lived across the fence from THE markizy factory! Not just vanilla cream, but hazelnut, coconut and "reverses" which were white biscuits with cocoa cream, and halva. They also made wafers and other biscuits.
      There were school trips to the factory every year and we were allowed to eat all the broken/misshapen rejects we could while we were there. Ah, those were the times.
