Ananova:
Politicians at loggerheads over official state biscuit Pennsylvania's two legislative chambers are at loggerheads - over the identity of the official state biscuit. The state Senate favours the chocolate chip cookie, but the House of Representatives wants the Nazareth sugar cookie. Both chambers have introduced their own bills in attempts to have their own choice of official state biscuit recognised, according to the Beaver County Times and Allegheny Times. The bills were first introduced in 2001, but were abandoned after September 11. Now both chambers have introduced new bills. The people of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, are hoping their cookie wins the day. The recipe was perfected by settlers from Germany during the mid-1700s. But the Senate's bill argues the chocolate chip cookie is the country's most popular, and that Pennsylvania leads the nation in chocolate production. State Senator, Gerald LaValle, said: "To be honest, I'd be much more concerned with passing a state budget than a state cookie." Ananova There's nothing like getting your priorities right!

It's good to see that state governments aren't shirking their responsibilities, and that they continue to tackle the truly important issues. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm not sure why they are talking about the official state biscuit and choosing between cookies?!?!? I didn't think things were that much different between North and South.

Here in France, a cookie is a kind of dry biscuit, among many others. And we generally don't eat biscuits at breakfast. How confusing. [img]smile.gif[/img]
