A Lark Ascending Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) That's a scone. Scones are on the hard side; biscuits, especially the ones depicted below, are on the airy side. One of the vague things I recall from studying French 40 years ago was that biscuit meant 'baked twice'. I'm pretty sure scones get baked once. Of course these things mutate and change, especially in moving from country to country. It's the folk tradition. The confusion is explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuit Of course the biscuit (in the English sense) reached its height of deliciousness as the 'ship's biscuit', normally acquiring added protein during the voyage.

Clunky Posted August 24, 2013 Report Posted August 24, 2013 None of this explains why the BBC saw fit to carry the original story. Not only does it look revolting ( bile green anyone?) but it's a dreadful photo. Real non story. Quote

JSngry Posted August 24, 2013 Report Posted August 24, 2013 For biscuits, we would need it to come in sausage as well. Perhaps the miscomprehension of what a currently real biscuit is can be resolved in a bathtub? Common ground, even if it is ground pork. Quote
