I never understood this when I was in america, thats not a biscuit its a scone (pronounced scon) a biscuit is something like a digestive.

That's part of our independence. We call stuff what we want.

US 'biscuit' came from dutch, apparently, rather than french.

'dog biscuit' is the english usage, though.

we also remove superfluous 'u's from our words.

I didn't realise, I retract my complaint :)

they're delicious and much better than scones or muffins (though muffins are necessary for the ultimate breakfast food, eggs benedict)

Dutch were the first to bring slaves over from Africa to North America. Slaves did a lot of the cooking and propagated many of the "southern" foods we have now, I'm wondering if that's the connection.

I had no idea it existed! If I smelt it I think I may die from an extreme smellgasm.

Make bread and as you are kneading the dough, incorporate a generous amount of finely chopped raw bacon into it. When baking, the smell is awesome. Plus the bacon fat moistens the bread internally. If you use enough bacon, each bread slice is moist with bacon fat and you dont even have to butter it.

My mouth just filled with saliva.

Hey guys, whilst I've got a seemingly reasonable group of you together, what does "nef" mean I keep seeing it written on this forum?

A freshly lit cigarette... and I don't even smoke. There's just something oddly good smelling about the first few seconds of a freshly lit cancer stick.

See I'd agree, but not a lit cigarette, something else thats just been lit, a piece of paper or a match maybe...

A chick that you have been absolutely lusting over that puts on a ridiculously good fragrance, that you just happened to have your first night with.
Oh man, usually shirt still ends up smelling like them, and I'd stuff it in my face for hours when she's gone.
