ask a yank about america?

god it still gets on my nerves they don't know what a proper biscuit is over here ... you'd think it was something complex to figure out

 

mmm...biscuits....smother them with sausage gravy, and i am in heaven.....

 

though a few of us lean more the direction of dog the bounty hunter....

 

actually, i said very american society around bases. i have 3 neices born off base in germany and raised in italy.

 

I have to agree with everyone who said this was a funny thread.

 

it is simply brilliant .. one of Molly's best. just need more natural-born Yanks to respond to the questions, like myself for instance.

 

thats a scone :/

 

scones have sugar, biscuits don't.

 

Well I never knew that It's mentioned halfway down the page here that American biscuits are almost identical to scones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuit

Though according to the landmark Jaffa Cake ruling of 1991, everyone knows that biscuits go soft when stale - scones definitely go hard. The UK may well be the only country in the world which has a legal definition of a biscuit Don't it make yer proud?
