Ah yes, British English. I still remember living there for a couple of years and helping a youth group plan a party. Imagine my American confusion when they wanted to serve, “Squash and Biscuits”, for refreshments.
It turns out they were suggesting, “punch and cookies”.

Fred would like it if they both entered the Great British Bake off and he got to be their tester. He wouldn’t mind the odd soggy bottom ;-)
