Unexpectedly, the baked dough is loose and crisp, and it tastes delicious. To commemorate this escape, the crew baked cookies in the same way after returning to England, and named these cookies after the name of the bay "Bis Bay". This is the origin of today's English name biscuit. Cookies are also a kind of lucky thing in the local area.

One day in the 1950s, in Biscay, France, a strong wind stranded an English sailboat, and the crew narrowly escaped to a deserted island. After the wind stopped, people went back to the boat to look for food, but all the flour, sugar and cream on the boat were soaked, so they had to take the soaked batter back to the island, knead them into small balls and eat them after baking.
