Off topic: it gives me undue vexation that there are two dessert items with names so similar to each other that everyone keeps confusing them. Can we just all agree to come up with a new name for one of them?
To be fair, there is a similar situation with "cookie", which means any kind of small, flat, compact, unleavened flour-based sweet baked item in the USA, but more specifically a particular soft kind in the UK.
And conversely, "biscuit", which has the former meaning in the UK and means some sort of weird scone in the USA.
