In America cookies are called cookies but all other biscuits are also called cookies. In Australia lollipops are called lollies but all other kinds of sweets are also called lollies. I don’t really know where I’m going with this.
I don't either, but in America biscuits are savory or near flavorless, not sweet like cookies.
I do be wondering what a British person would call a Southern style US biscuit... Which is sweet (they're usually glazed with honey), but still not like a cookie.
I think they are closest to a scone. There's a YouTube series I can't recall the name of that has British teens try American foods. One of the ones they did was biscuits and gravy. The Brits were mostly in shock at how good it was.
We’re pretty obsessed with gravy tbh. Never had a savoury scone but expect it must be a similar vibe to dumplings in a stew.
In Australia KFC automatically comes with a crappy little bread bun called a dinner roll and I don’t see the appeal.
I've never met someone that actually wanted that little roll and I'm not sure I'd trust someone that did. Begrudgingly eat with apathy? Sure that's fine. But actively want it? Nah.
