What are the equivalent in America, what exactly do you guys call them?
In Britain, a biscuit is a small, sweet, sometimes crunchy snack. Dip it in your tea or coffee, eat. Sometimes chocolate covered - chocolate biscuit. A Kit-Kat is a chocolate biscuit.
Crackers are crunchy, dry, savoury snacks - can be used as an equivalent to a sandwich. Put butter on them, salad, meat, cheese... Anything. But don't dip it in your tea or coffee... Yuck.
Cookies are generally round, chocolate chip, or oatmeal, and almost always have that same, crumbly texture. You could call it a biscuit, but these specific biscuits are cookies.
Remember my question at the start... what is it in America? I heard all biscuits are called cookies, and our term 'crackers' are called biscuits.
