Sorry I haven’t posted in a couple weeks, I’m still adjusting to the big move. Here are some differences between American English and British English when it comes to food. American on the left and British on the right. Disclaimer: I am living in Yorkshire so some of these may only be Yorkshire words (wouldn’t hear them down in London). Still, quite interesting. Hope you enjoy!
