    This is what annoys me about this argument.

    Im making a soup and want to thicken it “do we have any bread?” Damn near any bread (even tortillas, which are by definition bread) will do the job. If I want to make a sandwich then the difference is important.

    Sometimes its important sometimes it isnt but fuck me if Americans seem to think that we dont know what a cookie or a cracker is, like I’m utterly incapable of using a more direct descriptor to get what I want.
