British visitors to America might be confused when they order a Biscuit if they're expecting a sweet treat. What Brits call Biscuits are called Cookies in America while American Biscuits are more similar to British Scones. Now that we have you thoroughly confused, just remember that an American Biscuit is a savory, flaky quick bread made with baking powder, flour, milk, salt and shortening. Also remember to add jam to your Biscuit unless you fill it with eggs, breakfast meat or fried chicken.

I think many people will agree that the best part about travelling is trying out different food and cuisine from all over the world. Whether you just want to go straight to a local market and try out all the weird foods you can find or head to the best restaurant in town, eating is a true part of the travel experience. And in many ways, there is no better place to do it than in South America. South America is a unique spot for food because its cuisine is not concretely defined and varies greatly from country to country. No country in this part of the world has the same instantly recognisable foods that you would get from places like China or Japan. And in many ways the cuisine of South America lies under the perpetual shadow of universally popular Mexican food. Because foods across Latin America are all based around similar staples such as rice and beans, Mexico tends to be everyones first choice when it comes to Latin American food. However, travelling in South America gives you the chance to really experience the subtle and grand differences in cuisine across all of these fascinating nations. Yes, beans and rice are the staple but each country has their own unique dishes and the methods of cooking vary greatly. And you will realise just how unique each dish in each country is. All of the countries in South America has been Westernised to varying degrees and so it can be hard in some cases to sniff out the truly traditional dishes. Local markets are a great way to get a local meal and the key is to try and stay away from Americanised restaurants. For example in Brazil you will find a pizza restaurant on every corner and in the cities all over you will find all the recognisable fast food chains. Try to stick to local businesses for a better chance of truly experiencing local foods. Here are the different foods you need to try while travelling in South America.

Fast food seems to be synonymous with American culture. And while some may say that's a negative, as long as it's eaten in moderation, we're embracing it here at Woman's Day. Sometimes, nothing you make at home or order in a four star restaurant tastes as good as a black and white shake from the local diner, some juicy nuggets from Chick-fil-A, or even some overly salted fries from your local McDonald's. Fast food is everywhere, and we're here to give you the full list of the most popular fast food joints in each state that we carefully curated courtesy of popular Yelp ratings so you know exactly where to go, especially if you have dietary restrictions like being gluten-free or a vegetarian! We've all had those cravings for some greasy food after a long day of work, watching the kids, or even a long night out that reminds you that even the occasional drinks with the girls isn't as enjoyable as it was in your 20s. Nevertheless, this 50 state guide (plus D.C.!) to the most popular fast food places in your state will help take the pressure off of deciding where to go the next time you have a hankering for fast food.
