A biscuit is not a roll.
It’s a biscuit.
Now if you want to call a roll a biscuit, it still remains a roll. 

What if that biscuit identifies as a roll?

Then it would be pretentious.

Ginger beer is not really beer.  Simple people cannot always understand that language can be complex.

Ginger beer was originally brewed and had an alcoholic content.

A roll has never been and never will be a biscuit.

Ginger Beer was first created in Yorkshire, England in the 1700s during the colonial spice trade. It was made by mixing ginger, sugar water and optional lemon and/or cream of tarter together and leaving it to sit and ferment. Once the mixture was bubbly and slightly alcoholic it would be strained off and a portion of the old batch would be used to make the new. Though the name is deceiving, it was never actually a beer, but rather the production methods were similar.

That proves nothing, ginger beer was invented in the 1700s, Crabbiei’s was established in 1801.  The concept of the non-alcoholic drink predated the appropriation of the name.

This is quite illuminating. Could we get more tales from your youth? Specifically concerning the invention of ginger wine and also wine gums.

All the wrong shit on Google makes it too hard to find a picture of a butter biscuit.
