Hello! We hope you enjoyed the long weekend!
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and in the spirit of this sweetest of days, we begin a two-week festival of sweets and desserts from the West. Trust us, it's going to be a fascinating - and delicious - week!
COOKIE vs. BISCUIT クッキー、ビスケット vs. 小型パン
- A cookie is a small, flat, sweet and (often) crispy cake, such as a chocolate-chip cookie and shortbread.
In the United States, a biscuit is a small raised bread, like a bread roll, that is often served with gravy.
Be Careful! In the United States, we do NOT use the word biscuit like the Japanese ビスケット to mean cookie. - cookie は、小さくて平らで甘くて、(たいてい)さくさくした焼き菓子、つまり、クッキーのことです。chocolate-chip cookie(チョコチップクッキー)や ショートブレッドなどがあります。
アメリカでは、biscuit は、ロールパンのような小型のパンのことをさし、グレービーソースと共に出されることがよくあります。
注意:アメリカでは、 biscuit は、日本語の「ビスケット」のように cookie の意味で使われることはありません。
- Grandmother always gave me cookies and milk when I visited.
- We decorated the Christmas cookies with colored frosting and pieces of dried fruit.
- Our office usually gets several boxes of cookies and rice crackers from clients as year-end gifts.
- (ordering at a fast-food restaurant)
a: I'll have two pieces of fried chicken and a hot biscuit, please.
b: Would you like butter or maple syrup with your biscuit? - When I lived in Georgia, my host family served me biscuits and gravy for breakfast.
Ummmm! One WordMaster is never enough!
