    I was so confused until I realized this is the UK and you all love “biscuits” with tea.

      Now you know how we feel every time we hear “biscuits and gravy”!

      Both the US and UK define a biscuit as a small unleavened cake.

      For some reason US folks call all but one type of small unleavened cakes “coookies” which is a specific type of biscuit.

      It would be like calling all beer “stout”.
