And yeah well here in the US "biscuit" and "cookie" are two different things. But one thing they both have in common: They're both delicious and circular! I always thought that the word cookies is more used in america while the word biscuit is more used in the UK (Like Semmel and Brötchen here in germany ... two different regional names for the same product). Btw.: How do you call it? Semmel, Brötchen or something totally different? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasCapschen 7,747 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Semmel = 2 Brötchen joined together Semmel = Brötchen = Much more interesting: We say "Eierkuchen" instead of "Pfannkuchen" for Pancakes; and what we call "Pfannkuchen" others call "Berliner" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronM17 5,131 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Ok, I just call it Brötchen or Doppelbrötchen.The term Semmel for a Doppelbrötchen is not familair for me. XD And yes, I know that with the Berliner and Pfannekuchen. XD Talking of food. What is a typical cuisine from your region? And what is your favorite cuisine?

SparklingSwirls 21,103 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Should I open a store just selling bread and call it “E Semmel”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasCapschen 7,747 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I don't get it And Iron... some typical food from my region... mmh... Neinerlaa? My favourite cuisine is probably Asian (Chinese, Japanese). Not as heavy as European. Also i don't eat it that often, so it's something special every time. If i always ate it I'd probably call something else my favorite xD Edited February 18, 2019 by DasCapschen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasCapschen 7,747 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Oh! Good one. But no, it's just Simmel ; the E might have been there because it belongs to the Edeka group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
