What you call "biscuits" we call "cookies." The classic American style biscuit is rolled and cut out using a biscuit cutter. It's a semi-layered baked good and made so you can pull it apart to apply a spread. I don't know if you have something like that on your side. The butter biscuit I made was not what most people would call a true biscuit.

The Dutch oven is pretty much the same over here as it is over there. Mine is oval in shape and is made from cast aluminum. Originally, the Dutch oven had a flat lid whereupon heated charcoal could be placed on to make an oven of sorts - it is capable of baking bread. Neat! Most of them aren't built with a flat lid these days.

I saw this in the store yesterday. It's some kind of Japanese cooking vessel that uses wood or charcoal for fuel and can cook rice or hot pot dishes. I like how it's made from clay, brass, and wood. Very attractive. The price was $2480 - not so attractive.
