Next part in my What-I-Don't-Know segment.

In England you call cookies biscits, right? But what would you call Westernized, overly sugared, mass produced, packaged cookies? think Oreos, Chips Ahoy, ect. Are they just called cookies, or not? Plus, what Westernized, overly sugared, mass produced, package cookies have made it "across the pond", yet? I am asking since I was reading somewhere that Krispy Kream Donuts have come recently, and to me those donuts (never spelled the correct way) have been around since the start of time, so I wasn't sure.

Thank you, everyone.

P.S. I wouldn't mind never haveing lots of show again! (see my fisrt post)

Im not sure, but now I'm craving some doughnuts. Lol.

Where I live, as a rule if its from a country, its known by whatever that country knows it as.

So oreos etc are cookies. UK made ones are either brandnamed (eg Kitkat) or generally biscuits.

I don't know whats made it over or not.

double post.. got trigger happy !

i would call the Oreos bisckets (sp?) and Chips Ahoy cookies, as they are chocolat chip cookies. but realy i would call it whatever it was called on the packet, so if it said bisckets or cookie thats what i would call it.

Any more?

Most European people would class products like Chips Ahoy! as cookies. Basically things studded with chocolate chips, raisins etc. and soft are cookies.

Biscuits are like Oreos, harder. Coated possibly with chocolate or plain. Like McVities. Oh and yeah Krispy Kreame has come here. In London there are two at the moment. Bless Krispy Kreame forever more!

Hope that helps.

I would personally call Oreos biscuits and Chips Ahoy! Cookies - to me all cookies are chocolate chip

Hehe. I love cultural variance. In the US if you ask someone to pass a biscuit for anything other than something that looks similar to this,



you will get looked at very strangely and most certainly will not get said cookie/biscuit you are desiring.
