Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English, I'm Neil.
And I'm Rob.
In this program, we're talking about biscuits.
Biscuits?
Ha, a subject very close to my heart.
Something important to me and that interests me.
I know, Rob.
You are a biscuit connoisseur after all.
And in the UK, many of us love to nibble these sweet treats.
And we have lots of names for them too.
Yes, we have the chocolate digestive, the garabaldi,
the custard cream, and the jammie dodger.
Oh, it's making my mouth water.
I can see.
But we're not going to be tucking into any biscuits today.
Instead, we'll be looking at the origins and the language of this humble snack.
And before we do that, Rob, let's test your knowledge of biscuits with a question.
The British aren't the only fans of biscuits.
