New sub-board or whatever they're called?

[Chavster]

There seem to be a lot of boards that dont get a lot of use...like 'how to be successful' etc. Wouldnt it be a good idea to have a 'food board', seeing as we're always talking about food?

Well, if you're going to be a food snob just forget it.

Yet another example of the rampant symptoms of decay of the British Empire.  Are they serving them with tea?

Pop Tarts and Earl Grey. Sounds like a winner.

[Chavster]

They have them in the biscuit (cookie) aisle. They only have the chocolate variety unfortunately

Have you ever seen/eaten the things they have the audacity to call scones here in the USA?

I bake my own, in the English fashion when I have afternoon teas.

Yeah and they're nothing like scones at all. Eww. They're easy enough to make so I dont blame you for avoiding the American things.

BTW You've got (snail) mail, or at least you will have in a few days time.

US=Cookie....UK=Biscuit
US=Biscuit....UK=?

[Chavster]

What you call a cookie, we call a biscuit.

What you call a biscuit, we dont have at all. A scone would be the most similar thing, but a scone is sweet (and usually contains sultanas), whereas an American biscuit is savoury (and usually disgusting).

Biscuits and gravy. Eww.

 

[Chavster]

Come to think of it, they're not really similar at all, although they look kinda similar.

An American biscuit is like a bread, whereas a scone is more like a cake. One is savoury, one is sweet. One is eaten with gravy (eww), the other is eaten with clotted cream and jam.

Most of the time not eaten with gravy and in America clotted cream (ewww) would be thrown in the garbage.

How about fresh fruits and vegetables? 
Nuts and seeds anyone? 

I enjoy cookies, but only homemade....with no sugar. 
Bananas add enough sweetness.

Who by? All 360,000,000 Americans, or just the ones who dont know any better?

Anyway Tom, you spent time in the UK. I'm sure you didnt spend your entire time getting your library card punched. I'm sure you must have spent many a pleasant hour, sitting somewhere hip and groovy, dressed in your plaid trousers, London Fog raincoat and USS Arkansas baseball cap, eating a cream tea.
