    There is no other 'R'. It is pronounced the same way as "lawn".

    Unless I've being saying it wrong for years!

    I like to think of myself as an enlightened 21st-century guy. I am happy to accept that the English language is ever-evolving and will always adapt to the need of its users. Hell, the amount of different names the UK has for a bread roll is baffling yet... I can accept this.

    However, I'm not sure I can live in a world in which the above picture (containing 6 delicious-looking scones), can be referred to as biscuits.

    So Shorty and Sharky... what do you call these peculiar looking things?

    Bubba,

    Those are cookies, or maybe possibly crackers. Most likely cookies, from the looks.

    Which opens up a new chapter in this whole debacle. Do you have crackers?



    Generally for us, one of the main differences is most cookies are sweet, they can be flat bread or leavened with some baking agent. They can contain a lot of different ingredients.

    Crackers on the other hand, are always flat and crunchy. They're almost all savory or seasoned in some manner that is not sweet. Except for Graham crackers, because there's always one thing that smurfs up the whole system.

    Biscuits are what crackers would if they were given a few more ingredients and allowed to rise as they bake. Biscuits are soft, fluffy, and usually flakey. They're served with a multitude of different things, like your scone. I've had them with honey, jam, butter, applebutter, cheese, ham, sausage, chicken, etc.

    Wheat thins and saltines are best crackers. Cheezitz are good too though.

    I'm surprised they haven't asked about applebutter, yet.

    Then there's pumpkinbutter, plumbutter, and so forth. I think the Dutch and Germans have that stuff too, so maybe they know about it.

    I've already asked we get back on track here with the crumpet conversations. Take your biscuit/cracker chat to a new thread guys, I'm quite happy to continue discussing how Americans are wrong there.

    Crumpet + butter = only way. End of story.

    Scorn and brawn rhyme
    Scone and gone rhyme
    Biscuit and brisket rhyme
    Cookie and nookie rhyme
    ---
    Biscuits are plain and served with tea
    Cookies are like biscuits, only better, if you prefer chocolate things over arrowroot or buttery sugary things; also they are served with milk
    Scones are amazing and are not triangle shaped, nor covered in sugar
    +Date scones are my favourite, followed by plain scones with butter and jam or honey, although I've had herb and cheese ones also
    Crumpets are one of the most marvellous culinary delights this world has ever seen
    ++Crumpets, as originally stated, are best consumed with butter and honey, with butter and jam second. A friend once made me eat one with grilled cheese and strawberry jam O_o;;;

    I see Shauna's valiant efforts at keeping this thread on topic has been largely ignored. Before getting back onto crumpets, I would like to confirm the following.

    What I have learned from this is...

    What you call cookies, we call biscuits.
    What you call biscuits, we call scones.
    Crumpets and crackers we both call crumpets and crackers.

    Information assimilated.

    Anyway, back on topic. Crumpets are awesome. Enjoy some crumpet porn.
