Well doughnuts/donuts are quite sweet. Some people wonder how a company like Krispy Kreme manages to fit a full cup of sugar, into a half a cup worth of doughnut. Bannock is a type of fried bread.

I tried English Muffins in the US. They're nothing like crumpets. Much breadier.

Depends on where you get them. Some are more 'bready' than others. The ones I prefer have a more spongy consistency.

No, they're a different thing.

Heres what I wonder

What are the American versions of

- Scones - served with coffee, my favorite with cinnamon
- Biscuits - served with gravy made from sausage
- Crumpets - that is something we think the tea drinkers of the world have with their tea
- Muffins - a cake like goodie made a vari3ety of ways such as, but not limited to: made of corn bread or made with cinnamin and rasins or blueberries or lemon and poppy seeds or cream cheese and oranges, or . . . . .
- Jam (not Jelly which is different) a fruit preserve made with chunks of fruit inside of it. My favorites are strawberry or plumbs.
- Mince pies - I know of these, but not entirely sure so I looked it up. But first this: Klondike cat was always after savoi fair to make mince meat out of that mouse.
- - I looked it up and I would say that Mince meat pies look like something I would greatly enjoy.
- cornish pasties - Is tht made fron cornish hens?
- battered sausage on a stick (we call it a hotdog) sounds like a corn dog.

and do Americans eat sausage rolls?

What are those?

 

[Morrus]

What are those?

Heaven. Especially served hot.

 

[Scott DeWar]

The only game properly played on ice is Curling

I thought curling was what you did with a barbell?
