Americans call these 'biscuits' and they call biscuits 'cookies'. Why do they lie about food?

>> No.15590396

Because you couldn't handle the truth

Because mama always said life's like a box of chocolates.

I love how Eurocucks always take credit for things that people hundreds of years ago did. It may be the language you speak, but you did not help create it and you do not own it. Your country's accomplishments are not your own.

Why do Brits call English muffins "scones"?

English is a conglomerate of languages. Half the English dictionary is borrowed from other languages

Don’t even ask them about jam or jelly...

Preserves are made from whole fruit.
Jam is made from fruit pulp.
Jelly is made from fruit juice.

>Why do Brits call English muffins "scones"?
They don't. English muffins are yeast-leavened dense breads cooked on a hot surface. Scones are chemically-leavened quickbreads with a dense, comparatively well-mixed character, cooked in an oven. American muffins are chemically-leavened quickbreads, usually sweetened or otherwise enriched, with a slightly lighter and distinctly clumpy character coming from minimal mixing, cooked in an oven.

Hope that clears things up for you.

Here it comes...

There it is. Different words for different things. Marmalade probably has a specific definition separating it from the other three as well. Not our fault that you're too lazy with your own language to use specific words, puddin'.

This, every time I see a bong call an American biscuit a "scone" I crack up, because they've clearly never had one.

>> No.15591304

>>15590909
no, it's cooked,. Historically a "biscuit" was bread that cooked twice, with the "bis-" being derived from "bes-", the Latin for "twice".

Because we're a country consisting of more than just English expats. Cookie comes from the Dutch word 'koekje'.

But how would you double bake a biscuit
