Biscuits are good with Mustard

By the way, I think Jack White is great. Any guy who loves redheads is my friend. Any guy who touches my redhead is dead.

You touch my red head you better finish the job.

So anyway, i wiki'd it.

▪ In the United States it relates to a small soft leavened bread, somewhat similar to a scone.
▪ In Commonwealth English, it commonly is used to refer to a small and hard, often sweetened, flour-based product, most akin in American English to a cookie,

So you guys call scones - 'biscuits'.

I'm on it, Judge.



Now, do those look like the scones your mum serves with afternoon tea?

Yeah, but over here we don't serve 'em with vomit. Whipped cream and jam (U.S. jelly) is standard. If you ever heard of "fresh cream scones" this is it -






Edit: image disappeared so here's a new one. The scone in in the middle, a fruited variety.

The savoury version are cheese scone. Made with cheese in the mix and extra cheese on top, served usually buttered. (with tea obv.)

Biscuits are different over here. We call biscuits what you guys call cookies. So what's a biscuit in America?

I remember the great sadness I experienced the first time I went to a KFC in Europe and saw that instead of biscuits there were fries.

Biscuits are kind of like if you made a Irish soda bread using only white flour and plenty of buttermilk but you made them small so that they come out like scone but not sweet, lighter, and flakier tending toward a croissant (but not one of those shitty rubbery croissants from the train station).

Whipped cream? I thought you'd use clotted cream, which is like butter and whipped cream's lovechild.

Also, we have jam (aka preserves here). Jelly is something else. As the joke says, the difference between jam and jelly is that i can't jelly my cock up your mom's ass. But the true difference is that jam and preserves use the actual fruit material while jellies are made with the juice instead of the fruit.

I believe the respective differences between biscuits in Britain and the American version is that, in Britain, a biscuit is an after-meal dessert, a schoolboy's lunch treat or a sweet accompaniment to one's afternoon tea. In America, biscuits are not sweet but rather a bread-alternative to a any hot meal or, with the proper amount of various meat/gravy combinations, a meal unto themselves.

At any rate, I haven't seen a picture yet on this thread that hasn't got me salivating. I'm craving a plate of southern biscuits w/ sausage gravy, followed by one of The Limey's creamed scones.

With plenty of beer afterwards to wash it all down.

Aha, cheers John. Now it all makes sense.

Whipped cream more these days. There are still stuffy old tea rooms that serve clotted here and there, perhaps more common regionally.

So it's the same as it is here. Funny, as many Brits imitate the American "peanut butter and jelly sandwich" by putting jam in it.
