Lotusguy Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 no idea.Found it - Wikipedia quote: On April 4, 1991, former U.S. Senator Henry John Heinz III, the third-generation successor to the Heinz fortune, and six other people were killed when a Bell 412 helicopter and a Piper Aerostar with Heinz aboard collided in mid-air above Merion Elementary School in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania.[22] His fortune passed on to his wife, Teresa Heinz.

What about a Tegernseer Blauer Page? I am also a big fan of a local Munich brewery: Giesinger. Their Sternhagel and WInterbock are exceptional, IMNSHO.

Figured this would be a good place to post. Biscuits vs cookies! Battle commence. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk A friend in Florida asks me to send her Tims Tams from Australia every so often. She says they taste different, plus you don't get all the different varieties or special releases.
JamesKPolkEsq Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Is this true? Can you get in legal trouble for calling it an ANZAC cookie? Small aside: In AZ, are homemade chocolate chip cookies referred to as biscuits?

Small aside: In AZ, are homemade chocolate chip cookies referred to as biscuits? first, you get shot for calling them cookies. biscuits only. ANZAC is the term for aussie and kiwi military forces and can't be used without permission from the govt. so yes, definitely. it is a big deal in Australia. i'd guess that if someone started making "Marine" kettles, for example, some may not take it well.
Fuzz Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 American Cookie = British/Australian Biscuit American Biscuit = British/Australian Scone British/Australian Cookie (softer and larger than a biscuit) = American Cookie

99call Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 It seems the origin of the word biscuit is 'cooked twice'. The 'Bis' part means twice, and suggests the item is dry and would be a crunchy, dry item. If the word cookie derived from the Dutch "Koekje" of 'little cake', this sort of makes sense as they are soft. But a cookie can never be a biscuit, as they cookie's, and biscuits are biscuits. The true test is when you dunk them in your tea.

If it was called a "Jaffa Biscuit"......well that would just be stupidAnd they took it to court to prove it was a cake and not a biscuit, and won. This was done for tax reasons as in the UK cakes are not liable for Value Added Tax but biscuits are. Thunder & Lightening '75 - '15
gweilgi Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 The mem and I watched an episode of the latest series of the Great British Bake Off last night and had the same debate: is a teacake a cake? Is it a muffin, a bun? Turns out the answer is easy. In the US, a teacake is a biscuit. In Australia, a teacake is a cake. And in the UK, a teacake is a bun of sorts. Although the strange folk in Yorkshire apparently use the term to denote a sandwich roll. Next question: how did we get here from ketchup? What epicurean madman puts tomato sauce on their cake/biscuit/bun??? 1
