Unique British Foods That Baffle the Rest of the World

Custard Creams

First, let's clear up the terminology. In Britain, a custard cream is a type of biscuit—but not the kind you'd have with gravy in America. In American terms, it's actually a cookie and quite an unusual one at that.

This English biscuit consists of two intricately patterned cookies with a vanilla custard filling sandwiched in between. It's a curious treat that certainly stands out.
