US/UK Food: You call it whaaaaaaaat?


This obviously needs its own thread, because my journal has BECOME this thread! So, let's get this thing going!

UK biscuit = US cookie

US biscuit = UK maybe unsweetened/savory scone?

UK dumpling is NOT a US dumpling

C'mon! You fill in the rest!

I'm still trying to sort out the whole cot/crib thing
I THINK
UK cot= US crib
UK crib = US basinette
moses basket is the same in both places....
