2024-10-11 16:33 Nefas hello from the mud siiiiiiiiiide. you must have played a thousand tiiiiiiimes
2024-10-11 16:30 Alyce is it me you're looking for
2024-10-11 16:26 Butcher We were told that if you lick Lionel Richie's face, you could dance on the ceiling
2024-10-11 16:25 Sylis all my family secrets exposed on hero!
2024-10-11 16:25 Butcher We had an idol of Lionel Richie
2024-10-11 16:25 Ryoki it explains so much
2024-10-11 16:25 Zaffer And she would praise it instead of him.
2024-10-11 16:25 Zaffer *nod* Eglarion's mom always had a Quix idol in the family room.
2024-10-11 16:24 Tin such trauma:/
2024-10-11 16:24 Ryoki or the terrible shepherd's pie.
2024-10-11 16:24 Sylis yeah we had qxl in my childhood!
2024-10-11 16:24 Tin is that why u worship qxl?:P
2024-10-11 16:24 Ryoki I do miss that *awful* stir-fry she used to make.
2024-10-11 16:24 Butcher what's locally available would have played a part - sugar from sugarbeet here
2024-10-11 16:24 Sylis whatever they had in childhood as a rule
2024-10-11 16:24 Zaffer But it's familiar and comforting.
2024-10-11 16:24 Sylis cough I mean er
2024-10-11 16:24 Zaffer "Mom's cooking" almost always sucked.
2024-10-11 16:24 Sylis which was probably imposed by us when we conquered them
2024-10-11 16:24 Zaffer *nod Sylis*
2024-10-11 16:23 Sylis I think most people prefer what they grew up with
2024-10-11 16:23 Butcher they put fake sweeteners in everything here, i'm not sure that's any better for you tbh
2024-10-11 16:23 Ryoki they are very different.
2024-10-11 16:23 Elixis i like scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam. I am ready to bet they are orders of magnitue better than biscuits.
2024-10-11 16:23 Ryoki He certainly doesn't experience joy.
2024-10-11 16:23 Zaffer Have you considered the other possibility... You're the only one who doesn't live?
2024-10-11 16:22 Alyce i'm the only one in my family that doesn't have high cholesterol and i'm pretty sure it's because i don't live in the US
2024-10-11 16:21 Alyce it's all designed to increase sales of cholesterol reducing meds
2024-10-11 16:21 Sylis he's a fine one to talk about healthy :P
2024-10-11 16:21 Zaffer No one said it was healthy. Just delicious.
2024-10-11 16:21 Butcher including it's people
2024-10-11 16:21 Mishree it isn't american if it doesn't include corn somewhere.
2024-10-11 16:21 Butcher lies, everything american does
2024-10-11 16:21 Ryoki American biscuits have no HFCS! :p
2024-10-11 16:21 Alyce if u order biscuits and gravy you'll see it's nothing like scones
2024-10-11 16:20 Someone not sickly like american foods and their high fructose corn syrup in everything
2024-10-11 16:20 Mishree oh yeah... will be hard to remember that...
2024-10-11 16:20 Tin on who group for my druid! .. just sayin
2024-10-11 16:20 Ryoki or lean towards rather
2024-10-11 16:20 Ryoki scones err towards the sweet side.
2024-10-11 16:20 Sylis the queen is dead you know, it's the King's english
2024-10-11 16:20 Ryoki sure, it's the closest equivalent, but they're not the same, nor are they eaten in the same way, nor do they taste at all the same
2024-10-11 16:20 Butcher savouryish
2024-10-11 16:20 Mishree or accent..
2024-10-11 16:19 Ryoki one of those brings joy and happiness, the other your mother might give to you to eat for breakfast
2024-10-11 16:19 Butcher scones are savoury
2024-10-11 16:19 Mishree i guess an ocean between nations... eventually things start to change... but don't worry.. in the US we are preserving the proper queen's english dialect ;)
2024-10-11 16:19 Oppenheimer the point is that the nearest equivalent that looks anywhere near this american biscuit, is what brits call a scone.
2024-10-11 16:19 Ryoki sorta like the difference between a muffin and a cupcake.
2024-10-11 16:19 Sylis but I am half american and was married to an american so had plenty of both
2024-10-11 16:19 Ryoki and scones are more dense. american biscuits are made to be flaky.
2024-10-11 16:18 Butcher only recently stopped diverging with the advent of TV/Internet
2024-10-11 16:18 Sylis I am responsible for eating them, not cooking them, so unsure of underlying differences
2024-10-11 16:18 Butcher languages started to diverge 500 years ago
2024-10-11 16:18 Oppenheimer and they are soft... which makes no sense. Biscuits are flat and crisp pls.
2024-10-11 16:18 Ryoki A biscuit is like a scone in that the ingredients are similar, but the proportions are significantly different. biscuits have far more butter and are generally a savoury item.
2024-10-11 16:18 Oppenheimer Why do americans have to change the meaning of everything?
2024-10-11 16:17 Sylis biscuits are not quite like scones, both baked goods I guess
2024-10-11 16:17 Oppenheimer I haven't tasted them. Going off waht google served up when i searched for American Biscuits. Inciodentally, that's in no way a biscuit.
2024-10-11 16:16 Alyce ala biscuits and gravy
2024-10-11 16:16 Victory and a baseball has the same consistency as a scone
2024-10-11 16:16 Sole A baseball has the same shape as an apple.
2024-10-11 16:16 Alyce biscuit is soft, scones are harder
2024-10-11 16:16 Victory what Sole said
2024-10-11 16:16 Sole Only someone who has never tasted a biscuit would say that.
2024-10-11 16:16 Alyce biscuits arent like scones though
2024-10-11 16:16 Oppenheimer they look like scones
2024-10-11 16:16 Victory totally different
2024-10-11 16:16 Victory no
2024-10-11 16:16 Sole No, they aren't.
2024-10-11 16:16 Ryoki absolutely not.
2024-10-11 16:16 Oppenheimer american biscuits are called scones in the UK, pretty sure.
2024-10-11 16:16 Ryoki there is no direct equivalent to a southern biscuit .
2024-10-11 16:15 Butcher could it just be there's no direct equivalent?
2024-10-11 16:15 Victory any time i hear crepes, i think ricky bobby
2024-10-11 16:15 Ryoki nah, scones are a baked good. crumpets are pan-fried/griddled.
2024-10-11 16:15 Alyce i thought was like a scone
2024-10-11 16:15 Butcher a dodgy american pancake?
2024-10-11 16:15 Sylis no
2024-10-11 16:15 Alyce a crepe?
2024-10-11 16:14 Ryoki isn't a crumpet basically an over-easy pancake?
2024-10-11 16:14 Butcher go to work on an egg
2024-10-11 16:13 Sole butter.
2024-10-11 16:13 Ryoki nah, scones aren't it either
2024-10-11 16:13 Shog Sole is correct
2024-10-11 16:13 Butcher are they bread or batter?
2024-10-11 16:13 Alyce cucumber sandwiches for everyone!
2024-10-11 16:13 Sole Southern style biscuits have no equals.
2024-10-11 16:13 Oppenheimer oh not crumpets, scones
2024-10-11 16:13 Sylis always like a fine bit of crumpet it's true
2024-10-11 16:13 Ryoki nah, crumpets are the wish.com version
2024-10-11 16:13 Ryoki some honey too, maybe
2024-10-11 16:13 Oppenheimer crumpet
2024-10-11 16:13 Ryoki a good biscuit with some good butter is a special thing.
2024-10-11 16:12 Sylis not sure what the equivalent is
2024-10-11 16:12 Alyce when i was in england in 87 the food was pretty nasty
2024-10-11 16:12 Butcher President?
2024-10-11 16:12 Sole They don't have anything that amazing.
2024-10-11 16:12 Shog what do y'all call american biscuits, commonly seen in breakfast meals
2024-10-11 16:12 Sylis half
