A biscuit isn't a bun wtf are you on about? It's name literally means Baked Twice, it's a crisp little thing. Fucking anglo can't even speak your own language that you stole from the french

Sorry I don't take language advice from a group of people who thought naming a city "Liver-pool" was a good idea. That's fucking disgusting bro.

Idk, I was just mocking Brits, for shits and giggles.

Ignore me.

biscuit comes from bis-cuitt, Middle English words meaning, "butt" and "food".

Huh, I always thought it came from the old french https://www.etymonline.com/word/biscuit. Seems like there's a few different etymological narratives going around https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/inspire-me/the-history-of-the-biscuit/
I learn something every day
