When it's 90% sugar anything will taste good😁😁😁😁😂😂😂 In my opinion nothing beats a good old hard ANZAC biscuit with black tea from a billy boiled over a campfire.

Cookie was never a term here until recently. Younger generations use the term for a different type of biscuit. Same with “fries”. Those were all chips when I was growing up. Australia has taken on many US terms that actually defy meaning, grammar and etymology.

In Australia we have 'icing'. America has 'frosting'.
@lesterharris61973 ай бұрын
Those cookies are so American. As an Aussie born in 1950, a sweet biscuit was a shortbread, a yoyo, or a chocolate ripple. Small with maybe a small amount of icing. Most definitely not a monster of a cake-like cookie capable of feeding a crowd.

Maybe a big difference is sugarcane sugar vs corn syrup sugar and the different ways chocolate is made.

That 3rd one was Toblerone, a Swiss chocolate with honeycomb.
@GaryNoone-jz3mq4 ай бұрын
I can't eat any of them, because I am diabetic. That doesn't really matter, because I don't like things that are too sweet. Even with chocolate, I prefer at least 70% cocoa. Call me strange, but I prefer my chocolate to taste like chocolate, rather than milk and sugar.😊

I didn't even know they did these. I stumbled onto your channel with your Aussie food video. I went to the US last year, so gained the opposite perspective. McGriddle at Maccas was so good over there.

As an Aussie I completely agree, I use biscuit and cookie interchangeably. It doesn't matter, we know what it is regardless. Your focus isn't working.

How about steaks both free range and grain fed. In Romania I had a choice of Australian, Uruguay or Argentina steaks. I tried Uruguay and there was not a great deal of difference. Or eggs? Or Hunter Valley / Barossa wines vs Napa Valley wines? Or cheese?

What a shame, I was really hoping the Cheese Cake Shop would be a worthy alternative. I don’t like cookies or chocolate, sugar isn’t my thing, but I’m going to the States and someone has asked me to bring back Crumbl cookies. I guess I’ll be stopping at the quarantine line when I return.

Hi Caitlin I like anything that the cheesecake shop makes. There is a KZbin site from the USA that I keep in touch with. The site is called Iwrocker which stands for Ian Whelton. He lives in Rockford Illinois and gets parcels from different parts of Australia. He gets a lot of food and drink items from Australia and he likes all of the food and drink items he gets. He has a wife and 3 children and a lot of commentors class him and his family as honourary Aussies.

Good content! Looking forward to what you compare next? Beers? Potato chips? Ice creams? Fresh Fruit? Have you tried dragon fruit? Do they have that in the USA?
@judithstrachan93994 ай бұрын
I know the words are practically interchangeable but if it’s bigger & softer, to me it’s a cookie. I like my cookies soft & my biscuits hard, because I dunk hard biscuits in my tea & eat cookies like cake. We don’t live near a cheesecake shop any more. Not worried about not getting their biscuits, but I do miss good cheesecake.

@KindaAustralian4 ай бұрын
Icing
@grandy28754 ай бұрын
Wallywombat, frosting is a type of soft icing made with copious amounts of butter, pure icing sugar and a couple of drops of vanilla, beaten together until smooth. It can be made with margarine but it's not quite the same. It's sometimes called "Mock Cream". Hope this is helpful 😊 🙃🐨🇦🇺
