British Menus please?

Hi Emmie,

You can usually get coconut oil in health food stores - I haven't seen it yet in any supermarkets in the UK, but I'm still looking!

Helena -I am an english girl living in Australia and I know what you mean about the menu's - it makes references to alot of food that we dont have in england and the terminology is very american - I will see if I can put something together for you - give me a day or two xxx

I still mix up Aubergine & Courgette - I know one is zucchini and one is eggplant, but can never remember which is which when I come across the term.

I don't understand what a 'rasher' of bacon is...I have seen Brits use the term rasher and seen them use 'slice'...same thing???

Otherwise, I seem to be able to understand most of the American & English menus/food discussions

Please don't ask me to define Canadian Bacon...I don't think anyone in Canada knows...we call ham 'Ham', Bacon 'Bacon' and also have these funny little round thinly sliced disks of ham called 'Canadian Bacon' (As Chef Kevin described)...don't know why it is called that...

I think the most remarkable thing is that you can get the same brand of some things in Canada, the US, Australia/New Zeland and the UK (& Europe...and beyond)...like Hellman's Mayo & Philladelphia cream cheese...

Red Dwarf gets my vote...
