I learned a long time ago that a biscuit in Texas isn't the same as a biscuit in London. I have no idea what a biscuit in Finland is supposed to be. Where I live a biscuit is a side of bread served with a meal, in London a biscuit is more akin to a an Italian biscotti, a cookie. The best biscuits I know of come from Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits or Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

In my view those are buns, but it seems that biscuit can mean different things in different countries.
Finnish biscuits : small, dry and quite hard pastry

I do wish Nabisco would stop sending them over ...... the war finished in 1945!

Where I live it's something cake or cake-like that is called biscuit. All the above are cookies or small breads (buns).

I like KFC biscuits and enjoy them most like McDonald's fries, eating some in the truck on the way home.
Who wants a nibble of my crumpet?
Mhmmmmmm.... crumpets.
Also Hobnobs! Although a lot of people I know are partial to a Jammy Dodger.

My best chocolate biscuits are anything from Tunnock's really. Where you can have a Caramel Wafer, Caramel Log and lastly as some Scots still argue about....the best one of them all called a Tea cake.

"Cookie" to us is a round biscuit with bits of stuff in it. Chocolate chip cookies, hazelnut cookies, errr.... chocolate chip and hazelnut cookies.... if you're real fancy, white chocolate and macamademia nut cookies from Subway. Statesians use "cookie" for any type of biscuit, and it confuses me. If you tell us that a Twix has "cookie" in it, we'll think it heresy.
I like to pretend my favourite biscuits are Custard Creams but in reality it's good old fashioned shortbread fingers. I like to think that I only do 6 with a cup of coffee.... but they come in packs of 10 and there is no point only leaving 4 for the next cup, so might as well smash the pack as a par 1.
I love the Tunnock's stuff but I think of the caramel wafer as a bar and the teacake as a cake, I don't think of either as a "biscuit."

Where I come from, you can either go with the soft and flaky type (my preference) or the puffy, doughy ones (like a dumpling) but, either way, they are best served with lots of butter and then a hearty helping of sage sausage gravy (add hot sauce to you liking) with lots of ground pepper. Yum!! Think I'll tool on down to my local mom and pop breakfast joint and get me a mess of 'em!!
