    Brit here most things are biscuits except some that are cookies e.g. chocolate chip cookies, crackers are crackers.

    I hope that clears things up

      I thought y’all didn’t have cookies? Like, I thought everything we called cookie you call biscuit?

      Also, have you ever had an American style biscuit?

        Tbh I don’t know why we call some things cookies. I have heard people say cookies have the softer ce ter buy that doesnt track 100% from brand to brand.

        On American biscuits nope I didn’t know they were a thing rill a long time friend from the states who likes playing with these language quirks as much as I do

          If you ever visit (probably don’t, it’s a hellhole) try biscuits and gravy. Preferably from someone’s southern grandma or a gas station in rural Georgia. But if all else fails, Hardee’s is acceptable for someone without something to compare it to.
