    It's one of those things. IIRC, cookies are brownies and biscuits are cookies. Chips are fries and crisps are chips. It's a strange strange place.

    Nothing. An exact analogue doesn't exist. The closest is 'plain scones', but even that's not quite right. Scones use eggs and are a touch sweeter; they're usually a snack.

    Those look more like dinner rolls than biscuits to me.

    Also a LOT lighter. Biscuits [in the American sense] are meant to be thick. They're functionally filler, in the same way rice is a filler, only we didn't build our cuisine around them.

    Except for biscuits and gravy. But that's an anomaly that I personally don't get at all.

    I have honestly never, ever heard someone refer to a brownie as a cookie in all my life. Who does that?

    As for the rest, it causes plenty of confusion when talking to American tourists over here...

    I can't help but feel this would have been funnier on a meta level if she had copped this face in front of a crystal ball, during divination class. :nyan:
