    Bear in mind this is well over a year old by now - the veggi burger is so much better than the one shown here for UK McDonalds.. plus they have a rotating menu of stuff every few months or so. So the speciality burgers change.

    Your pancakes and our idea of pancakes are different. Plus, the Brits are generally adversed to putting meat in pancakes. We do have breakfast muffins with sausage, bacon and egg in them, but that's limited until 11am, so you gotta get it early in the morning or wait until the next day

    The best way to decribe cookies and biscuits is, chocolate chip cookies are cookies, obviously. I always say biscuits are the ones u can dip in tea and coffee, that would be a digestive, or a shortbread biscuit, look up foxes biscuit tins.

    Pancakes are not a thing in the UK where it comes to being a breakfast food. We generally only have them as deserts (generally as a tradition on pancake day) and even then the toppings are usually lemon juice and sugar with maybe some whipped cream if you are being fancy. Also to us the idea of having things like sausage at the same time as maple syrup sounds absolutely gross. Also when your ingredients list goes on longer than the intro crawl from a Star Wars movie there is something deeply wrong with your food culture (and that's just the fries).

      @@JustAverageLarry "pancake day", the day before Christian lent begins (they fast for 40 days up until Easter day). Not sure how many people actually practice the fasting. It's obviously not illegal to have pancakes on any other day, but I think most people reserve them for that one day. We have an abundant choice of desserts, so pancakes don't really cross our minds until that one day comes around.

    So what you call cookies in the US, we call biscuits in the UK, tho we do still say cookie when referring to stuff like chocolate chip. Your biscuits don't really exist here but scones are kinda similar, but like he said, they're usually eaten with clotted cream and jam as part of a cream tea. Oh and the cream goes on first, don't listen to those Cornish heathens.
