Somebody explain the biscuits?

[Henry Krinkle]

I know what it is. Apparently they have a bang up burger. I'll try it one day. The problem with New Orleans is there are literally hundreds of fabulous places to eat. It's hard to hit them all.

Ain't that the truth. I have the same problem when I go to Austin as well.

We don't agree on watch choices, either; why should we agree on anything else ?

Well yes, but at least we usually agree on what a watch actually is.

Fair point.
Note to self: Good idea for new thread

Fascinating last few pages, but it didn't answer the question burning in my brain. When we in England use the term "cookie" we're referring to a very particular type of biscuit (which doesn't comply with the cake/biscuit rule DA quoted as they're often soft by design), would an American call a digestive, or a custard cream or a bourbon a cookie? Or do they have no word for them?

Apple walnut raisin COOKIES don't grow on trees you know:
