“In this episode, we dive into some of the most classic USA–UK word differences. Why do Americans wear pants while the British wear trousers? Why do Brits eat chips while Americans eat fries? And is it fall or autumn? Join us for a fun look at how the same language can tell two different cultural stories.”

In this episode, we dive into one of the most confusing (and delicious) cultural differences between the USA and the UK—biscuits and cookies. Are they the same thing with different names, or completely different treats? We’ll explore what these foods mean on each side of the Atlantic, and why ordering a “biscuit” in London versus Louisiana might leave you surprised. Join us for some lighthearted chat, food history, and a few laughs along the way.

Grits and a Brit is a lively, funny, and eye-opening podcast where two worlds meet—one shaped by Southern charm and the other by British wit. Hosted by an American girl raised in the South (“Grits”) and a British guy (“Brit”), the show dives into the quirks of language, traditions, and everyday life on both sides of the Atlantic.

From confusing slang and cultural misunderstandings to surprising similarities and laugh-out-loud differences, every episode uncovers what happens when the UK meets the USA in conversation. Fans will love the mix of humor, storytelling, and genuine curiosity that makes Grits and a Brit feel like sitting down with two friends who never run out of things to compare (or argue about).

If you’ve ever wondered why Brits queue while Southerners line up, or why biscuits mean something completely different depending on where you’re from, this podcast is for you.
