savory as opposed to sweet...
in USA ...a cookie is sweet and crackers are typically savory...salty..with other non-sweet ingredients...
biscuits in UK are not biscuits in USA...

that is one nasty dish...
I was canoing in southern missouri in the late 70s and was grilling steaks and making a nice rice dish and salad when some lads came up and asked me for a can opener...they had canned beans and no opener.
my pop taught me to canoe in style in the late 60s.
we used to pull over at lunch time on the river and start a fire a grill hotdogs...that was about as rough as it got..
I spent a lot of time in the country fishing and camping and never let that interfere with the quality of chow..
my fondest memory was catching silver salmon with my son and grilling them riverside on the Knai..

put some effort into it...
I guess I was lucky to grow up around great cooks..
and I went to Culinary School and worked all over the USA for 25 years...and travelled and learned from Mexicans, Jamaicans, Argentines, Africans, Thais and Now Khmer cooks....and a host of books and great old tv programs like Julia Child and Jacque Pepin.

nothing wrong with a bacon and egg sandwich though...
I did get tired of the $8 mayo and started making mayo over here....easy...much better and sure saves money...

Which coincidentally is exactly what I'm eating tonight, along with seasoned oven-fried (yeah, baked, but fried) potato slices.

Crackers in the UK are also salty, and are often eaten with butter/ cheese. They are sometimes called "'water biscuits"


biscuits in UK are not biscuits in USA...
In the UK what Americans call biscuits are called "scones", and biscuits means "cookies".

Bacon and egg burgers and chips. Hard to get a decent Bacon and egg burger here. Sometimes you gotta make your own.

The lighting is a bit crap, but you get the idea...

This is an unusually large meal for me, comfort feeding at the trough.
