I like the Red Lobster biscuits and i like the butter biscuits that u get from the store

I like Sweet Hawaiian biscuits. They're the only kind I can eat without butter and/or jelly!

And just so our many British posters don't get confused - in America, a "biscuit" is what we call a "dinner roll". "Cookie" is the word we use for what you call a "biscuit".

I was going to say Oreos, but I guess I'll say that I like the Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits.

So is a "dinner roll" a "bread roll" or is it something very different in consistency?

If it's bread rolls then my favourites, when I was still eating wheat/gluten, were the german kind, very very crispy crunchy pale golden-brown outside, almost a shell, with a very very soft white chewy fluffy middle/inside, with thin slices of german cheese and ham.

I also liked the "granary" kind of "roll", soft but chewy, with lots of different seeds and grains in, and sometimes olive or walnut pieces. Delicious with just butter.

It's a good thing you explained about "biscuits", Idaho Rose, or I'd have listed a mass of my old favourite sweet "biscuits"/cookies like "fig rolls", and "lemon puffs", and "squashed fly"/"garibaldi"'s, and "jaffa cakes" ( with the jam bit in the middle and a thin chocolate topping ), and german spicy honey cake style cookies/"lebkuchens", and almond "thins", and chocolate "digestives"/wholemeal, and mini-macaroons and ... I couldn't resist it!! ! :lol So long since I ate any!

US biscuits are similar to our scones (they have scones in US too but they're sweeter)- they're like plain scones that you have mainly with savoury things. Not exactly like bread rolls coz they're not made with yeast. We don't really have an equivalent here (unfortunately).

Ahhh! Thanks!

In which case my favourite equivalent was "cheese scones"! Mmmmmmmmm! :lol

Wow...I always thought biscuits were, universally, another name for cookies. So, in the US you call dinner rolls biscuits. So, I've learned something new today.

We don't have an extended variety of dinner rolls. We can only buy the plain or wholemeal varieties and those with a cheddar cheese topping...at least not around my part of Australia.

I think I'd love to try some of the ones you all are talking about.

My favourite US biscuits were some I had in a vegan cafe in San Francisco- they had vegan sausage and gravy, and were really yummy! I tried to make them at home, and they came out almost as nice .

Probably Jaffa Cakes and I absolutely loathe fig rolls!...

ANZAC biscuits are nice. And Jaffa Cakes with their smashing orangey bit, and Garibaldis with their squashed flies.

Heh. And biscuits brown. Haven't had a biscuit, brown for ages.
