I’m sorry but biscuit is clearly a far better sounding word for a savory baked good you dip in gravy and have with bacon and eggs. Not for a sweet delectable baked good, for that a more cutesy sounding word like “cookie” is far fucking better.

English perverts should stop calling fucking cookies biscuits, I don’t dip Oreos in gravy you cretins.

Every take on chacha about food or cooking is terrible. This one slots neatly between “salad spinners are pointless” and “dishwashers are for the bourgeoisie.”

Both those takes are correct though 🤔

What about gas stoves being bad for you? Where does that one get placed.

That one apparently has scientific basis if you have poor ventilation, but I’m probably die in a firetornado or get executed by a Target loss prevention assassin during the water wars or exploded in a gender reveal party happening down the street well before cooking gas pollution worsens my quality of life so I’m gonna stick with gas. Cooking threads the needle between extremely satisfying and deeply frustrating for me. and electric ranges always make it the latter.

Don’t forget “cast iron pans are bourgeois”

Cast iron is prole as fuck. Relatively cheap, relatively nonstick, and if taken care of, will last longer than you will. Even if abused, they can probably be fixed up and made usable again, as long as there aren’t any huge pits in it.

But those artisan machined cast iron pans marketed to hipsters that are like individually hand poured, polished to a mirror finish, and sold for hundreds of dollars: those are totally bougie.

That’s not all, or even most, cast iron, though.

Thanks for writing out what I couldn’t be bothered to. I totally agree!

Someone previously argued that Teflon-flaking pans that warp in the dishwasher are the real people’s cookery.

The word cookie is a cartoonish parody alongside 99% of white American culture. You are living in a cartoon.

America won the war, so it gets to decide what biscuits and cookies are.

Them’s the rules

Biscuit is the French word as well so probably that’s why. Also, outside the US “biscuits” is a wide category that also includes what you guys call “cookies”.

Nah that weird white sauce you call gravy that you have with whatever tf you call biscuits, I think anyway I’ve only ever seen it on TV (which we call the viddybox).
