[dontworry]

You can't tell me you haven't heard of like biscuits and gravey?

Oh of course I have But it's not the same kinda biscuits that I'm talking about lol. The biscuits we have with gravy are almost like buns, but crumbly and buttery, not sweet or anything!

 

[helpmehateyou]

OH!! I'm sitting here all wtf? LOL

 

[dontworry]

LOL! Nah I'm talking about like the English version, or European version I guess. You know how they say like "Tea and crumpets" or "Tea and biscuits" lol?

My mom makes the best biscuits and gravy -Drool-

 

[helpmehateyou]

My mom makes the best biscuits and gravy -Drool-

NO NO NO! You'd be wrong, my grandpa makes the best biscuits and gravy!!!!!

 

[p3rox]

Biscuits and gravy??? Not sure that's the same kind of biscuit over here?!?

All this talk of Tea, biscuits and crumpets is making me hungry!!

Oh and no you don't have to eat them with a cup of tea/coffee, I eat whole packets on their own!

As far as the tea time thing, it's like the evening meal......Breakfast, lunch, Tea basically, although some people also call their tea, dinner or supper!!! my gran always used to have "elevensies" which was a cup of coffee and a cake at 11am, YUM! Ok, now it's officially i'm reaaaallllllyyyyyy hungry! lol

In my opinion the BEST kind of tea (in the world possibly!!) Is Yorkshire Tea, a proper cuppa lol! and the best type of coffee is Starbucks Gingerbread Latte! Mmmmmmmm

And these are the best type of biscuits

 

[helpmehateyou]

VERY DIFFERENT BISCUITS! lol. We call those cookies! Lol. Here's out biscuits.

you would not believe the amount of amusement i got out of this thread! xD
but yeah its all pretty much been answered!
every time is tea time mmmm
and tea is also what i call dinner .. < EDIT: that came out wrong, i call it tea. others call it dinner. the evening meal!
some people say dinner for lunch here as well which just confuses me, i just stick to never saying dinner breakfast, lunch and tea.
and yeah i'd say cookies are a type of biscuit. a chocolate chip cookie is what i'd class as a "cookie".
anything else pretty much is a biscuit!
xx

 

[annawrigley]

a biscuit is like a cracker that is sweet! and less dry! and often covered in chocolate or filled with caramel or pretty much anything really
lol sorry just thought of a way to describe it better

 

[trashit]

BISCUITS WITH GRAVY no way! You mean like a yorkshire pudding? lol. Oh Anna your posh then hahaha. I have breakfast, dinner, tea xx

 

[Jas029]

Atleast we all agree on breakfast! (Maybe THAT'S why it's the most important meal of the day)

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Or well, now that I'm pregnant
Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner, Snack, Snack

Oh, and then there's the confusing, BRUNCH!

Hhaha I love this thread. I love colloquial language and phrases. It's funny how I think it's mad that in America the term biscuit isn't known or understood by possibly many!! I'm from Ireland and we call potates 'spuds' alot yet when you go anywhere even near Ireland like England they don't have a clue what you mean! And I remember when I first heard the English expression 'all my days' I remember thinking 'why would you say that??' lol. It's great Long live funny words and expressions!! x

It may just be the part of the states I'm in but we know what "spuds" are we just never refer to potatoes as spuds (Well, the ones that do are alittle more.. "southern")

Also, I've never heard that English expression before and I have absolutely no idea what it could even begin to mean

 

[~RedLily~]

anyone else really want a biscuit now? lol

Ooooh cool so were not alone in using the word spuds!! God knows where it originated from!! I think 'all my days' means the same as 'oh my god' but I think I would need an English translator to verify that!! I am happy to assist in any Irish expression translations! haha xx
