Learning about cultural differences makes the world a better place and promotes peace and harmony. There'll be no more international misunderstandings and disputes about scones, biscuits and cookies now.

It's more than just chatting about biscuits, it's changing the world and doing good work

The disputes shall never end as you all call a cookie by the wrong name


Either way... a biscuit is good, a scone is good (which I will argue the subject of what a scone really is later, with a photo as proof of what it is), and cookies are good. I do believe we can all agree on that.

It's just a matter of accepting these cultural differences and busting the myths that surround cookies, scones and biscuits one step at a time. Someone should give us jobs at the UN.

Its for damn sure we'd do a better job at the UN than the people (if they can be considered people) sitting in those positions right now.
Just picture it... instead of arguing over territory, we can get them all arguing about biscuits vs cookies

I bet if we all anagrammed all those biscuits and cookies words and written them backwards we would have to answer to the universe and all that, even what by 42.

You people never put meat on a "scone"? Never heard of a scone.

We put jam on American biscuits also, but a breakfast biscuit with meat and/or eggs/cheese is typical for a quick southern breakfast. Northerners don't eat American biscuits either.

Biscuit is basically just a substitute for a bun, a more fluffy buttery bun. We put chicken, country ham (thinly sliced salty pork ham), bacon, eggs, cheese, and even steak on American biscuits. We put meat on Croissants also.
