Another puzzle post, geecee?

By referring to 'biscuit crumbs' I infer that you mean what Americans call cookie crumbs. We have many kinds of biscuits/cookies. What kind of cookies to you recommend?

[HansV]

Probably this type:

In SA we call them Marie biscuits, but you can also use Tennis biscuits, which has a hint of coconut in them.

A digestive biscuit is a personal preference.

As an aside, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; in part,

In Scotland the term cookie is sometimes used to describe a plain bun.

usually with a glazed top.

Thanks for the explanation, George.

I've searched for an equivalent here in the States and have not yet found one produced here. (There are numerous imported brands, but that raises the costs appreciably.)

I wonder if anyone knows of an American brand equivalent.

(BTW, George, can you give us a phonetic version of your signature quote? Is 'lang' pronounced with sound of 'hang, or gang?' Or, is it pronounced more like 'long'? It speaks an excellent blessing and wish to the recipient.)

Lang mey yer lum reek

Lang = rhymes with hang
mey = rhymes with the 'ligh' part of light
yer = rhymes with sir
lum = rhymes with the 'lum' part of lump
reek = rhymes with seek

Literally, "Long may your chimney smoke." A Scottish salutation wishing long life and prosperity.

A shortened version of “Lang may yer lum reek wi ither fowk’s coal.” meaning “Long may your chimney smoke with other people’s coal.”

Refers to the old Scottish New Year’s Eve custom of bringing a piece of coal into each home visited, of adding warmth to the fire of a friend. It’s a way of saying something like, “Have many friends, live a long time, and good luck.”

The Scottish dialect can vary so much, from The Highlands to South Ayrshire, and from East to West, so in different parts of the country, different words can mean the same thing.

The language is a 'spoken' language rather than a 'written' language so it cannot be said that, when written, there is a right and a wrong way of spelling a word.

Thank you, George!

Your phonetics were spot on! That is the way I thought it would be pronounced, but wasn't certain.

Now to find a digestive generally available in America without import costs tacked on.

We no longer have Uneeda Biscuit, which I think might have filled the bill.

We used to have Uneeda Biscuits here in Australia but haven't seen them for some years now. Sorry, can't say whether or not they would fill the bill since they were a cracker biscuit. Never used them as a crust for a cake.

Hi remapizh

Welcome to Eileen's lounge.
Cheesecake with a hint of pineapple is a good combination.
