>jaffa cake

>not biscuit

Cakes go hard when left a long time.
Biscuits go soft.

Jaffa cakes go soft so they're classed as a biscuit.

>>4576801
americlap, the internet does not revolve around you

>>4576805
Or is it the other way around.

Fuck, I don't know, man, I'm high.

>>4576809
Leibniz... hnggggggg.

>>4576805
Legally, they are cakes.

Also they disagree with you:
>On going stale, a Jaffa cake goes hard like a cake rather than soft like a biscuit.

>>4576790

Butter biscuits with milk chocolate on top.... yumm.....

I once rang up the company who make custard creams and asked them what they were wearing

don't mind me just being awesome all over the place

>>4576901
Except American biscuits are only similar to scones and are not the same thing.

>>4576901
>cookie is a biscuit
>biscuit is a scone

...and in America a 'scone' is a creme filled pastry

What are those called in britland?

>>4576905
dear lord why the fuck didn't I think of that before!?

>>4576937
>creme filled pastry

Um, no?

>>4576948
If those don't have a creme filling, they're not scones.

You're probably one of those people who thinks chili without beans is still considered chili.

>go to American imageboard
>discuss American inventions
>call them the wrong names

>>4576951
The only thing I have ever seen called a scone in the U.S. is similar to what I posted. Never in my life have I ever heard of having a creme filling as a requirement for scones.

...and I love beans in my chili, but thanks for the assumption. Keep trying though, if it makes you feel better.

but then what do amerifats call shortbread?

>>4576975
Shortbread.

Americans use the word cookie because we inherited the word from Dutch settlers. American English is an incredible melange of words thanks to the origins of the country as the settling point for dozens of different nations, including the ones that were already here.

>>4576982
well that's dissapointing, I demand you change it to chips immediately to conform to the trend of trolling the british by misnaming everything

>>4576975
Shortbread.

>>4576975
Cookies.

Basically in the US any smallish, sweet bread thing is a cookie.

>>4576792
One of the stores near me carries them and I tried them on a whim, those things are delicious.

>>4576792
Master race coming through.

these are where it's at

Filling like a twinkie? I have never seen or heard of such a thing being called a scone.

Scones are, and this is a widely-accepted defintion to the best of my knowledge, a rich chemically leavened quickbread. Usually made with cream as the liquid ingredient. Usually sweetened. Often sugar-topped or glazed.

In Utah, "scone" means fried sweet yeast-leavened bread, like a sopapilla. Also the ones I had were dripping with honey. That's the only major variation I've encountered, though.
