This is a biscuit, not a cookie.

But this is a cookie, not a biscuit.

Biscuits are flat and crunchy, cookies are lumpy and soft (usually, unless they’re the kind you get in a service station).

This is pop.

This is a toque.

And this is a jerk.

Nobody under the age of 60 calls it pop anymore. It's either soda or the brand name of the drink.

3. No. Soda.

That is also a biscuit, but biscuits in Canada can either be sweet or savoury. It’s weird, I know.

Sorry, no ... these are biscuits. Biscuits are not sweet unless honey or jam is involved.

Coke (because everything in the southern US is, regardless of what it actually is)

Beenie with a fuzzy thing on top, also something we would never need down here

No idea

Not all Canadians call it pop... I grew up with “pop” but many people used “soft drink” and some used “soda”.

And I always wrote tuque. Is that even a real word? Who knows, but it sounds less silly than beanie. To me, this is a beanie:

In Alberta, and the West as a whole, all I’ve really heard is pop.

It’s funny, I come from a very long line of Southerners and no one in my family did biscuits and gravy when I was growing up. It was always biscuits and my grandmother’s jam or my grandfather’s honey. Either was absolute culinary religion.

I also come from a lot of Southern family, and I sure do love me some biscuits and gravy with a side of grits!

Jam and honey are also approved pairings for biscuits. :)

Pop is for drinking, soda is for baking.

But that’s the only one up here I can whole heartedly agree with.

THEN WHY DO THEY SAY BISCUIT ON THE BOX SMART GUY

Oh for sure, most do! I think my family is more the exception than the rule. Our grits were either served with butter and honey or butter, salt and pepper. Yours?
