I tried those one day, and I liked them. I've heard of some people in England saying that the American Oreo cookie is too sweet. I understand what they mean after eating the Bourbon cookies.

Cookies. Yes. They are cookies. :P
Noo, don't post that azalea. Now I want some of those. :shock:

And my home state of Kentucky produces more than 95% of the world's bourbon! Go Kentucky!
Never too late for coffee, never too early for beer.

So why isn't it 'Nacooco' then? :P
(I call them cookies having lived in the US for 8 years).

Huh? Americans don't say biscuits? Interesting.

I say cookies if it is round like Maryland cookies yum.

You know the first time I heard the American word for fringe was bangs it sounded odd to me. :lol:

What on earth is a Maryland cookie? I thought I was pretty savvy with UK terms... :?
Fringe is on a pillow. Bangs are on your forehead. Yeah, it is an odd word to use.
Jen - mmmm biscuits!!!

Those biscuits kinda look like buns or cakes :lol:

Maryland cookies are basically chocolate chip cookies. You can often find them for a cheap price in £1 shops like Poundland etc. (I guess they'd be dollar stores in America).

I once got very frustrated trying to explain to a visiting Brit what "pudding" means in America.

Those look kinda tasty! I wonder why they called them that!? One thing I will always remember to bring with me to the UK are pretzels. They've got 200 different flavors of potato chips, but pretzels are tough to find.

I said above I'd say cookies if it were something round but now that I think about it Chocolate Digestives are round but I think I'd call them biscuits... But we have places like Millie's Cookies etc. here.

Hm, we say pudding here. But looking at the Wikipedia for the word Pudding, seems America and Britiain use the word to refer to different things or something. Didn't know that.

You could say it's a bit like smooth custard.

The reason pretzels are not found in the UK is because they're yucky. :P Same goes for Wintergreen (tastes like germolene, a disinfecting cream).

Yeah it does sound like an American brand name doesn't it. According to Wikipedia:
The recipe for Maryland Cookies was brought to the UK from the US in 1956 and is one of the UK's best selling biscuits. Over 12 billion Maryland Cookies are sold worldwide each year. Maryland Cookies are not actually sold in any part of the US but they are made in Britain. Like a standard US chocolate chip cookie their distinguishing ingredient is the chocolate chip but they are a hard, dry, brittle and crunchy as opposed to their soft, chewy and moist cousins.
You can usually find pretzels in supermarkets (just ask one of the staff, probably somewhere in the snacks aisle or maybe they keep them with the bags of crisps or something). I don't think I am that fond of pretzels, though I haven't really tried them that often, wonder if that really is a British thing haha.
