someone said: "As a note to most North Americans, "biscuit" in this sense doesn't mean the soft, crunchy, warm thing that goes well with chick'n nuggets and mushroom gravy, it's the stuff that goes well with soy milk while you're watching TV!. He means cookies!."Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
In America, the British word "biscuits" is the same as the American word "cookies"!. also, the British "chips" is the same as American "french fries" and the British "crisps" is the same as American "potato chips"!.

Hope this helps!

In America, we have cookies: oreos, chocolate chip, oatmeal, ginger snaps, snickerdoodles, etc!. You eat them with milk, for a snack or a dessert!.
A biscuit is like a chunk of bread: biscuits and gravy are popular, my family has biscuits with beef stew!. It is also a lot like what is called a "roll" or a "dinner roll!." It is a little like a dumpling, too!.
We have "dog biscuits" which are crunchy treats for dogs, often shaped like a bone!.

Hope this helps a little!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Biscuits is north america are an unleavened bread, and are served with dinner instead of rolls or bread, or with breakfast!. They are generally fairly bland and get most of their flavour from the butter or oil in them!. They are often served with jam or with butter!.

A cookie covers the whole range of what in england would be biscuits or cookies!. They are sweet and eaten as a dessert or snack!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
