If the UK calls those biscuits, what do you call savoury bread-like things such as these?

That's an American bread, I don't think Brits really have that in their country. Being someone who also calls those biscuits, I would call this a savoury scone or a pastry

@crmsnbleyd @RagingNerdoholic well southern biscuits certainly aren't a pastry of anykind. They aren't sweet at all and are an important part of any southern breakfast.

@crmsnbleyd @RagingNerdoholic but the real question is, then what do you call scones? Do you call those cookies and make the whole thing a circle?

A scone is called a scone, depending on where you're at in the UK it's pronounced differently, skohn skawn, there's more, but I've only really lived in London and Edinburgh.
