Do you ever wonder why the British have different names for certain foods?!
Do you ever wonder why the British have different names for certain foods?
For example, we here in America a biscuit is something we eat with out dinner, but in England, it's a cookie. Then we have french fries, but they call them chips. And aren't chips called crisps? Why the difference when we speak the same language? And are there any other food words that we use here, but are different there?

The reason that some words are different is because Britian and the US are differnet countries. Some words go back the the american revoution. the coloniests didnt like Britain so they used different words, ever wonder why the US drinks coffee and Britain drinks tea. The US english language just has different adoptations than the British have also.
No
I usually get the drift.
I'm not sure I got the Aussie terms right yet.
And good Lord the number of Asian Or Oriental names????
Did you know that the English language is the hardest to learn? There are so many words that are spelled different, with different meanings but are pronounced the same. Like to, too, and two or buy, and by. I enjoy the English accent and wonder if there is anyone in England that enjoys my accent. At any rate, it is great that there are differences, it keeps things interesting. Have a Great Day!!
Haha...its funny that even within my country(Malaysia) each state has different names for the same local dishes. So the British-American thing is to be expected i guess.
bangers, sausages, i think bangers is much more fun to say.
