What is the difference between, say, the kind of cheese biscuits served as an appetizer at many restaurants, and a cheese scone?
@purplepadma I’ve always wondered that myself!
@AlliFlowers You mean you don’t know the answer either?!?!?
@purplepadma 😂 It’s right up there with “root beer” vs “birch beer.”
@AlliFlowers I have never heard of birch beer! I don’t think we have that in the UK
@purplepadma I haven’t seen any in years. I think it’s a remnant of the old west.
@AlliFlowers Can you still get sarsaparilla?
@purplepadma Not by name. But that may still be birch (or root) beer?
@AlliFlowers Well there you go!
@AlliFlowers This is a deep philosophical question along the lines of something I was asked yesterday: what is the difference between ginger beer and ginger ale, and why aren’t either of the alcoholic?
