They call cookies "biscuits" and biscuits "scones"............... you gotta love the English. 🙂

@MasterLee I didn't know Americans called scones biscuits.

Yes, we put butter on ours, or smother them with gravy. 🤤

@calicuz Gravy! Who knew?? We have butter or cream and jam on ours. There's kind of a war between Cornwall and Devon over which is the correct way, jam first or cream first 😂

Yeah, some people put jelly or jam on theirs.

@SW-User Biscuits and gravy are a breakfast staple in the U.S.

@Nitedoc Not to diss your culture but it sounds like a hangover cure to me 🤣

@SW-User I'm not dissing. I just wonder how our language became what it is since we came from Europe, primarily England.

@Nitedoc I've wondered that too. 😊
