Oh wonderful blonde one, we were talking about those big ‘biscuits’ they normally sell in bags of 5 / 10 and which are the sort of thing one would normally purchase at branches of Miller’s Cookies.
Miller’s Biccies doesn’t have the same effect :P

Cookies = soft large and yummy. I’m with you there Mark.

There a biscuit is something you give to the dog. Or some bread product in the south…
freaks ;)
