    Its offensive to older viewers that "I Love Rock & Roll' is associated with Britney Spears. Her cover was a watered down version and not nearly as popular in the US as Joan Jett's cover from the early '80's.

      Irony of ironies: "I Love Rock And Roll" is actually British in origin, originally written and recorded by Alan Merrill and the Arrows in 1975. Joan Jett saw the Arrows perform it on their weekly TV show when she toured the UK in 1976 with the Runaways. 🙂

Let sit an hour to warm and get a second rise, then work in the rest of the butter, also softened but not melted. 3)Fill the kolache with fruit preserves or really good jam and use all pork lightly smoked sausage for klobasniki.

    In Australia, scones are made with, self rasing flour butter salt milk , usually. They are good to have with jam and fresh whip cream, at times you may like dates or pumpkin, etc , these are generally soft to eat.
    The old style bush damper is made the same way as a scone, just make it into a ball shape on a tray when you may not have any bread. If you add too much butter, it will become what is called short, meaning ,it will crumble more and hold its structure.
    Flour 1 lb , 1 oz salt per pound to taste , desert spoon of butter per lb , 1/2 teaspoon of sugar per lb , milk about just under 1/2 the weight of flour give or take and thats it. Btw, the sugar tends to keep the scones softer and is optional and dust some flour ontop before you bake.

      Joel can't get the British term of biscuit being a "cookie" out of his mind when he says "biscuits and gravy". It would be like shortbread and Southern gravy to us. Otherwise he could not defend "beans on toast". Really the same concept. Beans in sauce = Sausage in gravy...... Toast = Biscuit. In almost all cultures, there are overlaps in cuisine.

    I tried Kangaroo and Crocodile for the first time the other day (and I'm Aussie) and it took me a bit before I got past the whole eating our national animal thing, but you know what? I actually loved it. Roo, at least to me, does not taste like chicken. To me it tastes like steak but perhaps a little bit stronger, and if you cook it right (depending on the cut of the meat, I had roo fillets) it's really tender and easy to chew through and I can honestly say I enjoyed it. Crocodile is the one that tastes like chicken, I'd say it's a cross between chicken and fish and that's really good too, infact I would take croc over roo any day. I do think it's a bit weird to eat animals that are somewhat exotic or viewed as 'not meant to be eaten' (in my opinion those would be animals such as bears) or as some might say "roadkill" because to me it just feels wrong but I know it's very common, and that if there was a such thing as animals who are not meant to be eaten then it wouldn't be fair to say it's okay to eat cow and such. Idk what I'm saying, or if this makes sense, but Kangaroo I guess is a traditional thing to eat and it's always been something that was done in hunting, it's nothing different to how people eat cows and sheep and pigs, or rabbits as I know is a common thing, because it would have been whatever was available. I think the experience is good and it can be rewarding to try, but I do feel kinda guilty for enjoying it so much considering I've always loved being around roos.

    Biscuits and fried chicken together on a platter together was invented to please jazz musicians in New Orleans. After the jazz musicians had finished playing their set of music from 8 pm to 3 am they would be exhausted and intensely hungry because they did not eat anything at the normal American dinner time of 6 pm. They were too busy tuning up their instruments.
    So they would sprint into the all-night diner feeling desperate for food. The diner had both leftovers from the dinner rush from 5 pm to 8 pm and the beginnings of preparation for the breakfast rush from 5 am to 10 am.
    The jazz musicians would say to the waitress at 3:15 am "I don't much care what I eat as long as you can serve it as soon as possible." So the owner of the diner would serve them something from the breakfast menu and something from the evening leftovers on one plate.

      No, you just need a carbohydrate which is a part of any grain. You can also use baking powder/soda to get rising. Pancakes are made this way, as is Irish soda bread.

    Every donut shop sells sausage rolls! In the Southwest, we also have jalapeño sausage rolls.

    Americans don't see sausage rolls as a sweet because it's too similar to the pigs in blanket snack/food. It is essentially the same thing, except pigs in a blanket are often whole croissants and hotdogs or italian sausage rather then Brits using summer sausage

    The difference between sprinkles and hundreds and thousands is the little round balls are hundreds and thousands and sprinkles are tiny little long candies which are a lot softer than hundreds and thousands.

    Haha, my son is obsessed with the "I love sausage rolls" song. He dances to it all the time. He also loves watching Ladbaby as he really love watching their son Phoenix. I guess my son and I both love Brits ❤️ Also I am with Lia on the peanut butter on toast, but we also sprinkle a little sugar over top of the peanut butter.

      Is biscuits and gravy like scones covered in gravy? To me it sounds gross but I could be getting the wrong idea XD

      They are fluffier than scones I would say and here in America scones usually have something sweet in them, like fruit

    American here. I LOVE sausage rolls. I lived in England as a boy and they were my favorite treat at receptions. I've had them in the US too but not as good as I remember. Cookies: in America all sweet baked confections whether crispy or soft that involve a dough that melts as it bakes, with or without fillings or additions, are cookies. Biscuits are that specific often flaky quick bread raised with baking soda and powder, very simple, that are eaten with fried chicken typically. In the southern states they are a staple and served with gravy. Not so much elsewhere, not in the north. Other baked flour-based treats that are savory, usually salted, are called crackers, like Ritz, Triscuits, Carr's. For reference, Digestives here would be considered cookies, especially when coated with chocolate. I know I'm tedious, but there seems to be so much confusion about these. Pastry: Americans are used to sweet pastry, but we have pot pies, chicken or beef with peas and carrots in a gravy. They are delicious and savory.
    That was funny. Thank you. BTW, though, all varieties of English are varieties, even yours! You know that, especially Joel because you studied Linguistics. I did too, so I just had to say it.

      Yes, that totally makes sense. Especially when you think of the Aussie blokes that following Formula 1 and they've taken the idea from there maybe and now do it at every bbq they go to! I obviously don't know any blokes that follow Formula 1. Well, none that drink out of their disgusting shoe.
