Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.
This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.
Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…
We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

How can this be a scone?If biscuits are, in the UK, what we call cookies in the US, then what are these called in the UK?
My kind of scone! Thanks, Jason.
Do we need to open the discussion up to what Chips are?
Errrr-Exactly, Nicole... now I'm completely confused. Do they eat American Crumpets in the UK? Ooops...
*frantically scribbles notes* how am I supposed to remember all this!But just for the avoidance of doubt, a jaffa is also a cricketing term used to indicate an unplayable delivery.
You will be tested on all of the above at a time and place of our choosing.
Those are called English muffins over here. LOL!!!

This is a scone!
Make up your minds United Kingdom! Cookies get chocolate chips, biscuits get butter, and scones get blueberries.
Except for when biscuits get jelly. Or cookies get raisins. I suppose you could have scones with raisins.
Make up your minds United States!
Eff the whole thing.
Those are buttermilk biscuits in the south. You put sausage gravy on them!! YUM!!!If biscuits are, in the UK, what we call cookies in the US, then what are these called in the UK?

Or indeed, crumpets?

Couldn't help it. Crumpets are pancakes.Yep, the first one is "English muffin," and I have no idea what a crumpet is. Hash browns?
I'm reliving my early years, and pretending like I can't just Google the answer and instantly know the history of the crumpet from Antiquity.
Ah yes — Ygbfmfepostogttrgwjaaoi — and we can just refer to all of them with it.I'm confused. LOL!! Let's just call all of it yellowish goldenish brownish food made from either potatoes or some type of grain that tastes really good with just about anything on it and be done with it. K?
