So I've decided that once a week, I will have a post dedicated to translating between British English and American English. Also included in this will be cockney slang and any other languages I pick up during the week!
Week 1- Food!
Chips - Crisps
French Fries - Chips
Cookies - Biscuits
Biscuits - Don't have them.. closest comparison is a scone, but they are different.
Eggplant - Aubergine
Zucchini - Courgette
Jello - Jelly
Jelly - Jam
Strange Names of British Dishes:
Toad in the Hole
Bangers and Mash
Fry Up
So the teacher in me wants to make this blog interactive! I am not going to tell you what's in the dishes I have given you the names of, I want you (you lucky readers :-) to write the ingredients of 1 or all in the comments! Any good teacher doesn't give the answers, but inspires the students to find them themselves!
