distinguish themselves from their former colonial masters was great, so great
that they decided to do many drastic things to distinguish their culture from
their “brothers-in-arms”. Apart from the numerous changes to their spelling and

vapourise), they also decided to break away from the traditional idea of “biscuits” and re-invented the snack.
It is now revived with a new style and name, and it is called the cookie.
