The electric kettle thing blows the British mind. It is the first gadget anyone buys when they set up house, and will be packed seperately when moving house so it can be opened first.

No! A cookie is a type of biscuit. So we have custard cremes, bourbons, digestives, hobnobs,cookies ect. Plus fries and chips are different. Chips are fat and fluffy and fries are thin and crispy.

Funny thing is that Max - redhead/ "idk I'm not American!" - apparently lived in the US as a kid (unsure if he was actually born there though) and moved to England as a preteen if I remember correctly. (Even more unexpected: he's a quarter Indian.) Meanwhile Armand (slicked back hair) is actually French, although he also moved to England as a preteen. You can tell that those two accepted all those jokes much easier than the rest of the boys. 😂

What you call biscuits are a sort of savoury scone. We do have cookies, they are a type of biscuit. They typically have chocolate chips in. The main brand name is Maryland Cookies. But we have many other types and they are all biscuits. As for fries, chips and crisps. What You call fries, yes they are fried, they are fried chips of potato, they are not French. What you call chips are also fried, so what's the difference? But they are crispy slices of potato, they are not chips. Mind you we have nicked Fries as a name for skinny American style chips. I'm sorry the language is English, we are English so we get to umpire on this. 😂

Chips are chipped potatoes which are fried. Crisps are crisp fried thin slices of potatoes. Biscuits comes from the French word meaning twice baked and so have nothing to do with your biscuits.
@andybaker245621 күн бұрын
If you take the potato out of the equation and think about what a "chip" is, i.e., a small piece of a hard material (think 'wood chips'), then what we call chips in the UK makes sense. In fact, at one time, you sometimes used to see them on restaurant menus as "chipped potatoes", with "chips" being an abbreviation. What you call chips aren't chips at all, they're slices. We call them crisps because they're 'crisp' fried slices of thinly-cut potatoes. I rest my case. 😁

@yurihuffles14 күн бұрын
Best way to explain biscuits for both is... to remember that "biscuit" originally was a food item popular on ships. This OG biscuits is the item that both countries version of "biscuit" started as. In the USA where they had all sailed over and thus had used biscuits as an important part of their meal, it therefore makes sense that in America "biscuit" became seen as a core part of a meal, and while the recipe changed you still have it as part of a meal. At the same time the US made a sweet baked snacked called a "cookie". It's also important to note how America often uses the branded name of an item as the name for all items of that type, thus how the US might have a traditional "cookie" (chocolate chip, etc).. but then has a ton of other cookies. In the UK on the other hand, outside of the British Navy people didn't really have a need to eat "biscuits". The rare times at first when a noble person would eat a "biscuit", it wasn't unusual to add things to make the special patch of "biscuits" sweeter. A noble person eating a "biscuit" also wouldn't be doing it as their meal (even if it might of been a meal for those around them). Therefore overtime "biscuits" served to nobles and the upper class became sweeter & flatter and far removed from the "biscuits" that you would eat at sea - leading to "regular biscuits" (for sea) and "sweet biscuits" for the ones nobles ate. In time, "sweet biscuits" dropped the "sweet" and became just "biscuits" as the main type of biscuit eaten in the UK. Also, as countries often describe things in other countries using their own words - the UK did this with the traditional "chocolate chip cookie, etc", matching the description of what the UK calls biscuit.

Virtually all the accent memes were using a stereotypical London accent. Even most Londoners don't talk like that, lol. Most Brits have a completely different accent and there's a LOT of different accents! Drive an hour, from any point in England and the accent will be completely different from the accent at your starting point. In some cases you'd only need to drive half an hour, or less! :)

@emmahowells833426 күн бұрын
You call them french fries, but they aren't french as where you are isn't france, so no different really. We call them chips because it comes from the old English word cipp which means a small piece of wood as in chipped piece of wood. French fries were invented in 1775 then introduced to Britain we also referred to them as chips as they were chipped off the potato so has two meanings for the word chip. So you call them fries cause of how they're cooked, we call them chips as it refers to how they are cut into the shape.
