Kuchen and Biscuits and ''Salt-Rising'' bread

So fattening, lol

'Cause apparently, they don't have those things in California. SOuthern California, atleast. And it's so depressing, yet shocking, that people have been deprived of stuff like this. I mean, not everyone may know whta stinky bread is, or what kuchens are, but BUSCUITS! Come oooon, people! I had some relatives come in from California (still no known relatives in New York, damn!) and it was Sunday, after Mass, and we were at my Gandmother's house, and there were my second, I guess cousins, and then other people who lived in California, and they had no idea what these things were! Tell me you guys know what they are . . .

That is all.

Kuchen (KOO-Kuh) is this little one thing. It's like a giant square (though sometimes circular) doughnut with stuff on it.

Then how do you pronounce it?

But we've Englisized it! Like Jalepeno is Hal-Eh-Peen-Oh now, in America, not hal-eh-peen-yoh. :\

This is such a horrible tragedy. I am confused again. :\

Biscuts are those things a batter puts on his bat while he's on deck ... or or those doughnuts?

Yep ... they're doughnuts.

I'm glad we cleared that up.

I had this debate with someone once .. sadly, so I had to do some research to clear it up .. hey .. I was curious =/

If you look at the definitions, biscuits are cookies and cookies are biscuits. It's just that americans use the word 'cookie' to describe what has now become the popular american cookie .. things, which are .. well .. more cookie like lol. But essentially (according to definitions) they are pretty much the same thing.

Is Kuchen not pronounced "Koo-Shun"? Although rather than a "sh" sound, it's more of a back of the throat sound and I don't know how to type that in english lol. My ex's family were german .. I've heard them say it as it was meant to be said =)
