/ck/ - Food & Cooking

An abomination.

>>4992419
what you mention is a scone in Aus
a biscuit is a cookie
a cookie is also a cookie

>>4992429
but all scones i've had are sweeter or have fruit/nuts in them ?

Totally not trying to be a dick, but:
"Round-shaped British scones can resemble North American biscuits in appearance, but scones rely on cold butter, while biscuits are more often made with animal fat or vegetable shortening.[9] Also, while scones are frequently (but not always) sweet, and served with coffee and tea, biscuits are served more as a bread, often with breakfast."

It's a savoury scone.

Biscuits are like cookies, but they're cut or shaped before baking. Cookies are dropped biscuits usually with chocolate chips.

>>4992519
Almost.
America wise, dropped "biscuits" are free-form "biscuits". You could put chocolate chips in them and they still wouldn't be cookies, they would be biscuits. Cookies are shortbread.

Sure, biscuits are savory scones. Usually made with shortening or a blend of shortening and animal fat (ie, butter or lard).

>>4992447
Not pumpkin or cheese scones.

looks like those disgusting 'knack und back' sonntagsbrötchen

see?

>>4992543
Des ist das selbe.

>>4992419

They don't really exist outside of America.

If that means "they're the same thing", then yeah.

Real homemade biscuits are some of the best quickbreads you'll ever taste. The canned ones are absolutely horrible, with weird chemical tastes and bad textures. You really can't judge homemade biscuits by the canned crap.

Why do brits pronounce scone like skahn? Shit bugged me out when I was over there. Amerilards pronounce it like cone.

>>4995402
Some Brits pronounce it sconn, others pronounce it s-cone.

Northerners generally pronounce it s-cone, but they also generally call trousers 'pants' like Americans do

>>4992419
I've never seen this shit in my country(Yuropoorean here), but it looks like the previous step of "coccoli", fried buttered bread triangles.

>>4992419
In Canada we call them tea biscuits

>>4992419
You should settle it with a round of soggy biscuit.

>>4995393
Man I am so bleary eyed and exhausted and spending too much time on the chans I read that at first as "real homosexual biscuits"

>>4995580
>Northerners generally pronounce it s-cone, but they also generally call trousers 'pants' like Americans do
Both those things are wrong

>>4995762
They do in Manchester.

Biscuits are cookies in british english. I'd imagine they're casual chocolate chip cookies.

>>4995823
In UK, cookies are the ones that are chewy and break easily, biscuits are usually hard/firm.

>>4992419
here we call them...
american biscuits.

britbong here, they're called fluffy jammy stuffers and we eat them with jellied eel and figgy pudding.
Cheers.

>>4995883
not that we eat them

cornbread biscuits m8

>>4995957
but they aren't made of corn

>>4995887
eel I am jelly

Now I want midnight breakfast, or second brinner. Thanks, OP.

>>4997504
you really should crop that pic

>>4997519
I downloaded it just to say that and probably won't use it again, but if I were to use it again you would be right.

well, see or sea, there ya go or goe or goa. generally, buscuits are what you said. over there busicuits are cookies, here. crisps are potatoe. chips better get used to the metric system. for science, med or almost any industyey. and it does make sense I am old. and my mom was from Bristol. ( not TN) I just learned liters and now doing away with gallons ( usd or imperial) they drive on the left and most vehicles drivers side is on the left. which miight take a bit of getting ysed to. two or too of course, we in the us are right, or left. whatever. everyone here. NC thinks it is incompresrnsiple. I speak low and slow. but travel 250 miles east there are people on the outer banks that are alomost incomprehensible to me. same with spanish. or french, or german. people are people. or japanese. I have a cousin in law that has lived in tokyo quite odd to hear a "white family" speak with oriental inflection. or wright or write ( or infection) I have found und found people are mostly good. where ever don't be a target, but don't be a dumb ass. Its like Indian, native 'merican. cherrokee is different frpm appahee or pueblo. mex is a broad generic term. rpund here they will correct you right quick if from cuba, nicarugua,' rico etc. well dammit, hw the 'ell am I supoosed to know? you don't. be your self . I would not be an "undercover agent" for anything. in life or countries. most times, all you got to do is ask.

In prison land,

It's damper, a savoury scone like concoction, without a doubt, it is damper.

Go home, biscuits have been solved

>>4992536
No, you're misunderstanding what I say.

These are biscuits, because they're piped out before being cooked.

>>4998182
>>4992536
These are cookies because they're dropped onto a baking sheet, set and then cooked without having being shaped.

>>4998184
Forgot image.

I am so sick of this biscuit/cookie/wafer/pressed/shortbread shit.
It is shit.
It does not matter.
You are not right.
No one is right.
What the fuck are we even doing?

>>4998201
>What the fuck are we even doing?
Discussing semantics. It's good to know what someone from another part of the world calls something.

>>4992419
That's a scone.

do britbongs not eat biscuits with their fried chicken?

>>4995773
No we don't you lying twat.

>>4998253
Britbongs aren't southerners.
Most would only know friend chicken as KFC.

When Britbongs go down to KFC or Popeyes for some delicious fried chicken, what do you call the delicious buttery bread-things that come with the chicken?

>>4998286
Mean the puffy butter breadies?

>>4998286
lard cakes

We should just call everything a biscuit.
Everything sounds better when it's a biscuit.

>>4998286
We don't have Popeye's in the UK (or if we do I've never seen one)

>>4992419
>I tried explaining what a biscuit is...a flaky, soft and buttery ish....circle bread thing.

If you described biscuits as a type of roll they would understand better
