| 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. |
