The English term "biscuit" (and many other european terms such as biscotti and Zweiback) refer to the original habit of baking biscuits twice to achieve crunchiness.
Whereas the american term "cookie" originates from the Dutch term "koekje" or "little cake". This is why americans eat soggy saggy rubbish biscuits.

That and the fact that they're all fat and the humidity of their sweat causes proper decent crunchy biscuits to become instantly flaccid when they scoop them up with their rubbery proto-simian paws.

I quite like toe-house cookies.
I also like the fact that probably a high percentage of cookie dough probably never sees an oven, in the states.

There are some thing that I don't like, but I don't like to talk about them.

Apparently 0.087% of cached images on google with the name 'brillient' in the filename, are pictures of me.
But it's only so low because most image hosts create their own filenames.

That figure doubles if you include "2045d8f8535e2c74bed01c780ba661b8".

I once went out with a girl from Eccles. And another one from Eccleston.
The one from Eccles had bigger breasts. Neither of them were stuffed with raisins to the best of my knowledge.

Eccleston.
Who is from Salford ... which is closer to Eccles than Eccleston. Probably. I could check googlemaps but that would be weird.

Eccles is technically in Salford, but is in its own town. I live about 5 minutes away from Christopher Eccleston, he drinks in my local.
