Biscotti vs. Rusk

What really is the difference between the two, other than that a stick of biscotti at the coffee shop is smaller, less tasty, and costs about as much as a whole box of cake rusk?

and apparently no american’s heard of cake rusk. could this be next big thing?

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

queer bud try bakarkhani {the 1 coated with sugar} and man u won't know wat's hit u, it's so blodddy lazeez.

p.s. btw 2 many cake rusk's = kabaz yani kai regular trips to the loo :D

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

^ i thought kabz meant not regular trips to the "loo" ? my urdu can't be that bad. khair. i love rusk with milk. it taste sooo good.

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

jee dat's correct. kabz leads to the loo is wat i was trying to say in a few words

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

KCB Cake Rusk jhanda:

Those bap shaped ones you get in Pakistan are even better, especially dipped in tea. :yummy:

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

Isn’t kabz constipation? Too many bananas and milk can give you that.

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

yes it's constipation.

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

Maulana queer, sahih farmaya.

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

rusk is more authentic

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

Biscotti is more richer in taste and softer to bite, and rusk..well rusk just taste like dried bread with a tint of sugar..i never had a rusk with raisins..but with biscottis, you can add all sorts of nuts..

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

Biscotti is italian, Rusk is desi. Its just where you’re from. Its why white folk will eat onion rings but dont know about onion pakoray.

But a desi falling for Biscotti.. is like buying a Made in Bangladesh shirt at Banana Republic for $250.

I second that.

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

So queer, are you trying out new stuff now a days?

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

you forgot to add “with Kashmiri chai”, you know the one cooked by the local folks up in Duddyaal :smiley:

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

queer:

If it was called something like Rusk, you woulldn't pay the money you pay to buy Biscotti.

And speaking of bakharkhanee, chinese restaurants have somethign very similar to bakharkhanee in their dessert section.

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

True. "Rusk" doesn't quite pack the punch. On the other hand, biscotti sounds something that you would actually pay to eat. If it was ruscotti or something...

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

:bukbuk:

BTW, rusk is very dunkable - biscotti cannot be dunked.

Both are good. In India I’ve had rusk with some seed in it (like fenugreek?)

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

incorrect mon ami, you can make gourmet rusk and even papay. I used to make them myself quite often until about a year ago, will start making it again. ABdulah send me your addy, I will send you some from my next batch of home made gourmet rusk and papay when i make em.

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

and how do you make papay? :expressionless:

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

kami yaara, i would really like to know as well how you manage to do it. Everytime, I tried dipping my papay in chaah, the dipped half never came back out..or maybe, i dip it for too long..so, your gourmet home cooked papays may take care of this dilemma as well..thanks in advance..

Re: Biscotti vs. Rusk

not papay, rusk, but papay can be made the same way, I mean all its just dehydrated/dried bread/cake, you can find the recipe for rusk anywhere, that would be the generic one, you can flavour it with fruits, nuts etc as you like, and if you got one of em home food dehydrater gizmo, you are in business. I experimented once with generic store bought sara lee pound cake, the thing turned out very well so i experimented and voila this is something my friends look forward to when I make it, but its really not that tough.

now the secret is out, go forth..bake n dry and enjoy dunkin in chai
