Eggplant (US, Australia, New Zealand, and English speaking Canada) has to do with the fact that the plant with small white fruits that resemble eggs were the first known variety in the US. "Cookie" was coined in colonial US from a Dutch word used by Dutch immigrants. "Biscuit" was still used for a long time but fell out of popularity to "cookie". "Molasses" is the American form of the Spanish or Portuguese word for it. Broad beans are usually called "fava" beans in the US because they are "vicia faba" a completely different genus and species than lima (lye ma) beans. Broad beans are an Old World plant while lima beans are from South America. Cotton candy/candy floss was first introduced at a world's fair as "fairy floss" which is what it is still called in Australia. "Saran" is the brand name that dominated the plastic wrap market for many years in the US...it's the same as the British calling the vacuum cleaner a "Hoover".

"Zucchini" is the Italian plural word for "zucchine" and comes from Italian immigrants who brought the squash created in Italy to the US in the late 1800's. The British got the Italian squash from the French and use the French word for it. "Cilantro" is the Spanish name for coriander. Americans borrowed the Spanish word for the fresh green leaves of the plant due to the use of fresh leaves in Mexican and some other Latin American foods and use "coriander" for the seeds. In recipes in the US, you know whether it's the fresh leaves or the seeds by which word is used. Many Americans add a bit of sugar to the egg mixture they dip their bread into to make French Toast....and maybe a bit of cinnamon. "Flan" is a crust-less custard dessert in the shape of an upside down pie in the US. What you described as a "flan" would be a custard pie baked in a pie crust and covered in fruit. "Gherkin" in the US usually refers to small whole sweet cucumber pickles but is sometimes used for any whole cucumber pickle. "Pitcher" comes from the 13th century Old English for an earthen jug.

In America we use both "jug" and "pitcher." In my mind a jug is like a fully closed and capped plastic bottle that you buy from the store like a jug of milk or a jug of orange juice. Where a pitcher is usually not as well sealed or has no lid at all, either glass or plastic that is used when making your own drinks whether that is iced tea, lemonade or reconstituted concentrate juice. Also flan and "fruit pie" aka fruit tarts are NOT the same thing. We know what a flan is.
@aprilvoecks58773 жыл бұрын
To me, the "jug" doesn't have to be capped, but it does need to have a small mouth (which is much easier/cheaper to cap than a pitcher). A pitcher may or may not have a lid, but jug almost always do. After all, that's their biggest advantage that shape has. To help wi anyone having trouble picturing what I mean: Pitcher: The width of the opening on top of the container (not including the lid) is close to or equal to the width of the main part of the container. Sometimes there's a lid on the pitcher that has a smaller opening. Jug: The top of the container becomes narrow just before the opening you pour from. Kind of like how a bottle does, except with absolutely no neck.

A few thoughts from an American: We use both coriander and cilantro. Coriander is the seed and cilantro is the leafy part. Courgette vs zucchini - I'll give you any odds you want that the former is French and the latter is Italian. I agree that "French Toast" is sweet, but I should also warn you that nowhere in the US that I've been has offered a savory French toast. Anyone who coats a bread in egg and then cooks it will immediately add sweet toppings to it. Flan and fruit pie are not the same thing. Others have already covered this one. Of course the fruit pie might be a Spain thing, similar to how a tortilla in Spain is actually an omelet, but not elsewhere. In the US flan refers to a Hispanic custard dish.

Flan is a custard only dessert (no crust). I think it is cooked and turned upside down onto a plate leaving the darker sugary sauce on top. What you showed we call a fruit tart, which often is a custard in a crust with glazed fruit on top. Tarts are usually shallower than pies and have a slightly firmer crust. A whole fruit tart can be presented outside of the pan, but pies are often juicier, so they are kept in the pan. One word covers them all - yummy! 😄

You two must remember that the U.S. is not all English descent. So many different people have emigrated here over the last 150-200 years; there is good reason why we don't both call these items the same word! That goes for accents as well, obviously. I never looked into it but I believe we call it cilantro because we border Mexico and it likely became the norm over the decades because of the Mexican dishes that've been incorporated into our culture. ☺️ Speaking of that, cilantro is my favorite herb, hands down! ☺️

Wait, wait, wait. Flan, Fruit Pie and what you showed a picture of, which was a fruit tart are three very different things. Flan 🍮 is a custard with a caramel sauce on top. A fruit pie 🥧 is fruit baked in a pastry shell in a pie pan (round with angled sides) and can either have a top crust or lattice, a streusel top, or no top. A fruit tart may be a baked tart or a constructed tart where the fruit is added after baking and is made in a tart pan (round with perpendicular fluted sides). Speaking here from the US.

Yes, mostly...flan is a Latin custard dessert baked with the caramel on the bottom of the dish and served by turning it out, upside down onto the serving dish. This can be a bit nerve wracking if you’ve never done it before and it can be notoriously difficult to get the firmness just right so it all comes out in one piece. But it’s lovely when it does. Creme brûlée. Is a baked custard with a crunchy solid, thin caramel layer that is achieved by broiling, flaming with a propane hand torch or putting into a salamander until the sugar reaches a caramel stage. Also not for the faint at heart due to sugar’s nasty tendency to go from not caramel to burnt carbon in the blink of an eye.

Saran is the name of a brand that makes plastic wrap. “Cutlery” is used interchangeably with “silverware,” although we know only silver plated cutlery is technically silverware. We also don’t really have eggy bread, or any savory French toast variety. So, it’s just all called French toast. We usually refer to gammon as “ham,” and the thin sliced cold meat as “sandwich ham” or “deli ham” if we need to be more specific.

What you showed would be called a "Tart" - which is odd, since tart is the opposite of sweet and a Tart is sweet... Weird. It sounds like most of the words that you use may be French in origin and America uses the word from the region the vegetable originates from. Zucchini vs Courgette for example. We use both coriander and cilantro in the states. The former for the seeds, and the latter for the green plant. I keep forgetting that they are the same plant. :)

Coriander is what we call cilantro seeds, so technically we use both. We’d say cutlery too, but I think that would probably be if we were buying a full set with cooking knives/tools etc. Flan is like a custard/pudding-ish dessert here, so a fruit pie is something totally different. Most would probably call it a fruit tart, or just a tart. Oh and we say “Saran” wrap because that was a big brand name of plastic wrap.

Coriander is the seed, cilantro are the fresh leafy green bits. Same plant - different times of harvest. We use both names. Aubergine - there is a white variety. Small white ones are exactly the same size as a white egg! Look it up. Saran Wrap is a brand name! For MANY years Saran was the most popular brand and the name just stuck. Silverware, for those who have both silverware and stainless steel flatware we use the correct name for the appropriate product. Eggy bread, I prefer my eggy bread savoury but I call it French bread. I’ve taken a lot of heat for preferring it savoury. Gammon, I prefer my thick cut Ham topped with a thin layer of brown sugar and that topped with a dusting of dry mustard or powdered mustard and then broiled till the sugar just begins to candy. Between the sharpness of the mustard and the sweetness of the sugar it takes the ham to another level of yummieness. Balance between sugar and mustard is critical. Gherkins, refer to ONLY baby pickles brined in a spicy sweet mixture. Other pickled cucumbers come under a wide variety of names. The word Jug isn’t used that much here. In a bar you might order a pitcher of beer. On the farm you might be served milk from a jug.

In America: Lima beans (yuck) are pronounced with a long i. • Saran Wrap is the brand name that popularized the product, like Kleenex or Jello. •When I think jug, I think of an old-fashioned, heavy, ceramic vessel with a cork stopper and a hole for picking it up with one finger - the kind of thing used to hold moonshine, molasses, or water to be drunk. You swing it up onto your shoulder and drink straight out of it. However, some old ones are very large ( 2-3 ft. tall) and that would not be possible. Those were used for shipping liquids years ago. A pitcher holds liquids to be drunk, but was also used once upon a time for water placed on bedroom dresser and a large bowl for one's morning ablutions. It's water is poured out into a glass or a bowl. You don't drink straight from a pitcher. A pitcher has a handle; a jug has rings that usually only accommodate a single finger if it's not too heavy. Some jugs have rings on either side of the mouth. A jug has a narrower mouth than a pitcher. •Most silverware or flatware is of stainless steel. If it's of silver (Ag), we call it "the silver" and is only used for special occasions in my family. e.g. The silver needs to be polished. •We use the Itallian word rather than the French for zucchini in the US. I've never had savory "eggy" bread. I have had scrambled egg sandwiches. French toast is, as you say, sweet and delicious and if Americans use ketchup on eggs they're generally scrambled like on a sandwich. •The picture you showed and called flan was a fruit tart. Flan is caramel custard. I have some in the fridge at this moment. Yum! •Ham is eaten hot, cold, in sandwiches, on pizza, in salad, stewed with lentils, in soups, minced and spread on bread or crackers, etc.; it is traditional at Easter or Christmas, but is eaten throughout the year. I like your vids a lot!

When it comes to fries and chips, there is an interesting story on that. In the 1890s at a resort in New York, a cook there make fried potatoes by chipping the pieces off into sizeable chips. One day a person kept demanding that his fried potato chips be made thinner. The cook became frustrated and sliced the potatoes as thin as he can, which the customer liked instead of being insulted. It became a specialty of the place and the recipe was brought over to Europe where it became more popular and known as chips. Meanwhile, as the Gilded Age ended, the chips went out of styles, seen as a staple of the upper class. Decades later when the Normandy Invasion happened in the second great war, it was the task of the British to prepare food for the American soldiers. The British used a simple and easy recipe and prepared the troops fish and chips. The Americans loved the food as it was tasty and quick. They referred to the food as french fries as they were fried potatoes prepared in France. When they came back to America, french fries became increasingly popular and made in the style as was done on the beach, thin cuts of potatoes fried. As those became popular, chips also came back into popularity as a snack food to be sold in stores. While french fries were made fresh and at restaurants, chips (in the style as they were done at the resort) became an increasingly popular snack food at grocery stores. They are basically the same thing, but events and stories resulted in them being seemingly different foods. America has vastly different names for food and things due to a popular trend in early America to distance themselves from the old world by renaming and respelling words. Also, for the cutlery, it is souveware and not silverware. Americans also use silverware for more important eating utensils, whether they are made with silver or not. We also say flatware, serverware, and tableware.

I was raised to call that dish "Egg Toast". My mom made it with day-old bread, dipped in a mixture of beaten egg and milk, fried in melted butter. You could then top each slice with either cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, honey, molasses or maple syrup, or you could eat it plain. You can also slip a mixture of sweetened cream cheese and sliced soft fruits (sliced, sweetened trawberries or peaches) in between the bread slices and dust with powdered sugar for stuffed French toast. Alternatively, you could take two pieces and lay down some cooked bacon or thin-sliced ham and some sliced cheese and drop it back in the pan just long enough to melt the cheese. That would be your savory breakfast sandwich. Add a cup of maple syrup on the side for dipping that sandwich and you have an easy-peasy version if a Monte Cristo sandwich.

Silverware is the generic term for eating utensils. "the Silver" is used to denote the sterling silver utensils stored in its presentation wooden chest. Sterling is no longer used everyday because of automatic dishwashers - the detergent abrades the finish, and the extra-hot water causes the handle part of the knives to separate from the blade. Sterling must be hand-washed, so too crystal, as the crystal will "pit" in a dishwasher. Fine quality items require special treatment.

Flan is a custard and the picture you showed is what we would call a fruit torte and these are usually covered with a neutral flavored egg white and sugar or pain unflavored or mildly sweetened gelatin coating So that itwill stay pretty in the patisserie case. A fruit pie has a bottom and possibly a top crust with fruit inside and baked or a small tart with fruit encased in it and deep fried. If you have a bunch of fruit in a baking dish and you cover it with a single crust of pastry on top, it is called a cobbler. All 3 of of the latter are probably sprinkled with granulated sugar afterward. On a side note there is a delightful dessert dish called a buckle, that is made with a cake like batter and you throw some fruit or some sweetened cream cheese in there and the batter bags up over anything you throw into it and it makes a rumpily-bumply looking dessert, that has buckled up like a bad sidewalk or "nine miles of bad road", thus, the name, "buckle".

Its called eggplant because of the way it looks on the plant when it first starts growing, like an egg.

1)The reason why we call it zucchini is due to we were introduced to this vegetable through Italian immigrants. 2)Eggplants because it resembles an egg, and the reason why you British call it Aubergine and Courgette is because they were introduced by the French into your country. 3)Silverware, cutlery, utensils all interchangeable in the US. 4) plastic wrap is generic whereas as Saran Wrap is a particular brand, it's kind of like when you Brits use Hoover to mean all types of Vacuums.
