I’m just trying to confuse the Americans
I thought y’all didn’t have cookies? Like, I thought everything we called cookie you call biscuit?

On American biscuits nope I didn’t know they were a thing rill a long time friend from the states who likes playing with these language quirks as much as I do
If you ever visit (probably don’t, it’s a hellhole) try biscuits and gravy. Preferably from someone’s southern grandma or a gas station in rural Georgia. But if all else fails, Hardee’s is acceptable for someone without something to compare it to.
