vegan looking biscuit

I think you mean cookie.

You see because biscuit refers to a savory bun that is eaten with breakfast, while cookie refers to a small sweet baked good eaten as desert.

Just wanted to correct you, we don't want to sound like Br*tish people do we? england-cool

if you don't want to sound British stop speaking English

A biscuit isn't a bun wtf are you on about? It's name literally means Baked Twice, it's a crisp little thing. Fucking anglo can't even speak your own language that you stole from the french

Sorry I don't take language advice from a group of people who thought naming a city "Liver-pool" was a good idea. That's fucking disgusting bro.

Was that what we were arguing about?

Idk, I was just mocking Brits, for shits and giggles.

Ignore me.

biscuit comes from bis-cuitt, Middle English words meaning, "butt" and "food".

Huh, I always thought it came from the old french https://www.etymonline.com/word/biscuit. Seems like there's a few different etymological narratives going around https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/inspire-me/the-history-of-the-biscuit/
I learn something every day

They could be an Aussie or Kiwi. Biscuit for a savory bun is just etymologically inconsistent.
