    Our biscuit is your cookie. Your biscuit is our ... ?????

    An American biscuit is more like what we (Australia) would call a scone.

    Not so sure that you're treating yourself for breakfast from your description. As someone from Australia to send you a packet of timtams, then you will REALLY have a treat :)

    I think I've inadvertently begun an international incident here.

    Rolls, buns, biscuits, pancakes ... if anyone mentions flan, I'm walking out of this trilateral detente!

    To quote Churchill: "Never in the history of this website, have so many been so confused over so little!"

    He said something like that, anyway.

    How did you know I just bought a packet of Tim Tams not more than 2 hours ago at the international store? Very expensive here. But it's a (very special) gift for a Chinese friend..

    a scone? a scone? it's just a scone???

    It's a pretty miserable excuse for a scone, at that.

    So, I've established (with a little help from my friends, as the Beagles used to sing) that an American biscuit is a scone, a British biscuit is a cookie, the radioactiviy in Japan is actually fall-out from an Australian bakery, and a Chinese Big Breakfast is a complete fraud!!! Who'd have thought?

    Thanks to all for your help.

    I'd rather a pack of Tim Tams for brekky than this 'big breakfast'. Looks gross.

    I think you are going to have to get a Chinese Big Brekky tomorrow and post a pic so we can give you a definitive answer as to whether you in fact are staring at a bun/muffin/scone/roll/cookie/cracker or, heaven forbid, FLAN!
    And don't call me Kylie, Muffin :)

    You're probably thinking of the wrong Kylie. Think school uniform and chewing gum, not lingerie and dance muzak.

    Ok, it's time to take my hush puppies for a walk.

    Tomorrow, I'll force myself into McDonalds (or perhaps they'll have the double doors open for a change) and take a happy snap of their Not Big Breakfast.

    I feel like I'm changing the world ... one McMuffin at a time!!!

    She is of course, quite right.
    You should buy it tomorrow, take a photo for us, then throw the food in the bin and never buy it again!
