I pronounce Jay Z as 'Jay Zed' lol

...QRS, TUV, W, X, Y and ZED

Get the fuck outta here!

I truly feel sorry for British children.

[DOBERMAN INC]

Does anyone else dunk their biscuits in milk? I've started to do it with cookies and malt biscuits, it's surprisingly nice on nights too warm for tea or coffee.

[Protome]

Four pages in and we still haven't commenced the UK Muffins vs US Muffins debate. GAF ....you're slipping.

I love both US and UK muffins.
English muffin + bacon = best breakfast.

It's the only way to eat a Maria*.

[AndyD]

ITT I learn that when UK folks talk scones they're actually talking about biscuits.

Yep. Learned that too. And American biscuits are just as good if not better than its European counterparts.

Still, best breakfast baked good is a fresh baguette with fresh butter and jam. Nothing better.

We skipped that part and went straight to discussing pronunciation and spelling differences of the English language.

Hmmm....

It's weird that we both use twinkle twinkle little star for the alphabet song even though Zed doesn't rhyme with anything. The origin of the American pronunciation of z probably came from trying to get the song to fit better.

[Patryn]

Game of Thrones is British right?

Nope. It's 100 percent American HBO.

[GungHo]

Dat Landmass. We used to have it all. Ah well, I'm glad to sacrifice power over the world if it lessens the opression of millions

Yeah, it usually looks like this right before I kick someone's ass in Civilization. Cultural victory FTW.

[Natetan]

also sports brand pronounciation

adidas - AHdidahs

puma- pyuma

nike - naihk

What company do you work for, Red Coats Incorporated?

I work for a british company that was acquired by an american company. the rest of the company uses american standards, yet our acquired bit is stuck with british.

[BGBW]

Also, I love KFC biscuits!!

YOU EVEN CALL CHICKEN BISCUITS!?

[Aiko Heiwa]

YOU EVEN CALL CHICKEN BISCUITS!?

AND THE POTATOES ARE BISCUITS TOO!

EVERYTHING IS BISCUIT!

I'M GONNA GO WATCH BISCUIT ON THE BISCUIT WHILE I'M LISTENING TO BISCUIT ON MY BISCUIT WHILE EATING A BISCUIT WITH A SIDE OF BISCUIT AND A NICE GLASS OF BISCUIT.

[Cursed Frogurt]

What's clotted cheese and earl grey?

The Brits have some of the most unappealing names for good food.

But yeah, the picture of the British "scone" is just a biscuit. America does those incredibly well at Chik Fil A, KFC, Bojangles thousands of diners across the country, and in any number of Strawberry Shortcake recipes.

We get shit backwards with our Brit brothers and sisters. Chips to them are fries to us. Cookies to them are biscuits to us. Fannies to them are vaginas to us. What a wonderful world!

[Aiko Heiwa]

This thread made me want biscuits. :I

[giga]

I'm from Georgia. So…





Biscuits with gravy all day every day baby! Add some hashbrowns and scrambled eggs for a complete Sunday breakfast!

[BladeoftheImmortal]

got damn do i miss these.

[Dark Knyght]

what the fuck is a scone

.

[Timedog]

Where I live, this is what we call scones. Much better than the stuff in the OP. Sunday brunch staple, might have to get some later.

Why does that jizz look like play-doh?

[Aiko Heiwa]

all day erry day

[Salvadora]

That looks like no gravy I've ever had.

[Funky Papa]

Southern American food would kill me in a month. I feel fucking guilty after each meal whenever I visit.

That looks like no gravy I've ever had.

It's almost like some savoury form of bechamel.

[Aiko Heiwa]

That looks like no gravy I've ever had.

You ain't never had gravy with sausage?

[Salvadora]

You ain't never had gravy with sausage?

Unless you mean this:

Then, no.

[Aiko Heiwa]

Unless you mean this: Then, no.

Nope, that's not what I mean.

[Salvadora]

Nope, that's not what I mean.

But that's gravy, is it not?

[Timedog]

But that's gravy, is it not?

Hey man, that's simply not what he means.

[Aiko Heiwa]

But that's gravy, is it not?

Yes, but the gravy in sausage gravy is white gravy.

Hey man, that's simply not what he means.

I am a girl.

[Salvadora]

Yes, but the gravy in sausage gravy is white gravy.

Thanks, that makes much more sense. Was confused by all the references to biscuits & gravy.

[Orayn]

It might help to explain that sausage gravy is basically just a white sauce cooked with pits of pork sausage in it.

EDIT: Beaten-ish.

[Aiko Heiwa]

Also, British food has nothing on THE FLUFFERNUTTER.

[Orayn]

I will accede to the excellence of biscuits and gravy despite being a Northerner, but I maintain that marshmallow spread/fluff is gross.

[Aiko Heiwa]

Aww.

Man, I'm a weird mash of American culture. My dad is from New Haven, my mom is from San Juan, and I'm raised by my grandparents, my grandma is from New Haven, and my grandpa is from West Virginia.

And I live in south Florida.

[Strawman]

I pronounce Jay Z as 'Jay Zed' lol

Aha I do the same. Anyway, if he is playing in the UK then its quite correct to pronounce it like that!

[Aiko Heiwa]

dang britannia

you cray

[DOBERMAN INC]

Rule britannia you great.

Aww thanks, I knew we still had fans.

[Zoe]

Although to be fair, all Starbucks pastries are terrible

wtf, their double chocolate brownies are some of the best I've ever had.

[Aiko Heiwa]

All joking aside, I really do admire British culture, due to my ancestry.

[Menelaus]

this thread makes me proud to be 'mercan

gonna have me some loaded scones for breakfast as i raise my middle finger to the east

[Cursed Frogurt]

Oh man am I missing the South right now after seeing those pics of sausage gravy. That was most Sundays after church when I was growing up.

[SatelliteOfLove]

I'm being particlarly harsh, as my only experience of American biscuits is from Popeye's. Simultanously bland and rank. The chicken was merely bland. :P

This explains much. Get yer ass to Bojangles.

[Cptkrush]

This thread is oddly convenient, I just had a big ol' plate of homemade biscuits with sausage gravy, eggs, and diced potatoes. So good.

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Am I going to be the only one to think that this...so called "gravy" looks kind of like vomit?

[Cursed Frogurt]

Am I going to be the only one to think that this...so called "gravy" looks kind of like vomit?

Doesn't have to look good to be good. Steve Buscemi for example.

[Rash]

Am I going to be the only one to think that this...so called "gravy" looks kind of like vomit?

A lot of amazing foods look like vomit.

Food is about taste. Presentation is merely a bonus if it's pulled off right.

Lucky.

[bengraven]

OH AWESOME

It's been WEEKS since we've had a cookie/biscuit/digestive war thread on NeoGAF.

[that1dude24]

american scones and coffee are great

[ChocolateCupcakes]

Where I live, this is what we call scones. Much better than the stuff in the OP. Sunday brunch staple, might have to get some later.

Its funny because Jamaicans would call this just fired dough or a dumpling. Its usually served for breakfast with liver.

[The_Hitcher89]

OH AWESOME It's been WEEKS since we've had a cookie/biscuit/digestive war thread on NeoGAF.

I got banned for making a joke about the number of Kickstarter threads. Just saying :P
