If the UK calls those biscuits, what do you call savoury bread-like things such as these?
That's an American bread, I don't think Brits really have that in their country. Being someone who also calls those biscuits, I would call this a savoury scone or a pastry
A scone is called a scone, depending on where you're at in the UK it's pronounced differently, skohn skawn, there's more, but I've only really lived in London and Edinburgh.
No a southern biscuit is pretty much unheard of here. They're called biscuits if you can find em.
Biscuits here tend to be hard cookies, typically had with tea or coffee. Softer cookies are sometimes called cookies.
Scones. Pronounce as you see fit.
So I can call it a suck-on-ee?
If you want to be stoned, yes.
