And the #1 new sandwich in America is....

[HAL9000]

One quick question, please just one quick reply. I don't want to derail the thread. What do you guys call a biscuit and a muffin, because when I was in America I noticed that a Bacon and Egg McMuffin was called a bacon and egg biscuit or something...

 

[spaceman]

a biscuit is a biscuit
and english muffin an english muffin
u order a bsicuit and expect an english muffin u gonna be dissapointed bc itll be a biscuit 10/10 times
a McMuffin is always an english muffin

 

[spaceman]

a biscuit is also a hunk of wood for cabinetry to.
so u might get something different if u are at homedepot asking for a sandwich

 

[spaceman]

an aside
the "mini muffins" at bk
are raw english muffins
meaning untoasted..

Yes, and I've never heard anyone refer to a Tuna Melt as anything other than a Tuna Melt, and yet it is a also a sandwich, by definition.



Yes, it's redundant, which proves that a burger is a sandwich, see? Thanks for making my point, that a burger IS a sandwich. 🙂

I'm not disagreeing that a burger is a type of sandwich, it obviously is.

I'm just pointing out its hardly ever called one, particularly in the UK.

Its a bit like a Mac is a PC (except obviously inferior), but rarely referred to as a PC.:ninja::whiste:

which ingredients or preparation methods do they share and which are different? To me the biscuit looks like one of those hard, god awful sugar cookies that come in a tin around the holidays

Those look like short bread, I'm not sure about ingredients, but cookies are thicker and generally have chunks of chocolate or something in them.

oh of course not

 

[HAL9000]

oh of course not

I like you.

Thank you. It was my sole point, which I had to repeat in response to this:

A burger isn't a sandwich round these parts.

And this:

A sandwich is two pieces of bread not a bun and not with a beef burger inside the bread...

No matter how you guys colloquially refer to them, the FACT remains that a burger is a type of sandwich, by definition, in the English language, despite neckwich's sorely ill-informed blurts to the contrary.

Now, a ah heck, otoh, often puts his piece of meat between some buns. Yet while he may indeed be an Earl, he's certainly no sandwich! 😛

Donut burgers are fucking awesome. I'd have to make a few changes to OP recipe to get into it, but otherwise sounds delectable.
I find ketchup & sauces don't normally bode too well on a donut burger, so last time I used caramel syrup & it was fucking awesome.

Cookies have added deliciousness and butter.

Biscuits have added sawdust and they are primarily made from cardboard.

Honestly, all of those sound pretty tasty.

everyone is right! 😛

• In the United States it relates to a small soft leavened bread, somewhat similar to a scone.
• In Commonwealth English, it commonly is used to refer to a small and hard, often sweetened, flour-based product, most akin in American English to a cookie, or sometimes in the case of cheese biscuits, a cracker.

Today, according to American English dictionary Merriam-Webster:

• A cookie is a "small flat or slightly raised cake."[4]
• A biscuit is "any of various hard or crisp dry baked product" similar to the American English terms cracker or cookie.[3]
• A biscuit can also mean "a small quick bread made from dough that has been rolled out and cut or dropped from a spoon."[3]

Today, throughout most of the world, the term biscuit still means a hard, crisp, brittle bread, except in the United States, where it now denotes a softer bread product baked only once. In modern Italian usage, the term biscotto is used to refer to any type of hard twice-baked biscuit.

In Canada, the terms biscuit and cookie are used interchangeably, depending on the region, with biscuits usually referring to 'hard' sweet biscuits (i.e. digestives, Nice, Bourbon creams) and cookies for 'soft' baked goods (i.e. chocolate chip cookies

It's awesome when that happens!
