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.

No the “fruit pie” is called a Tart. Flan is a jiggly custard dessert, and totally different.

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.

@aprilvoecks5877

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.

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.

French toast is typically made with an egg and cinnamon mixture, or if you want it really sweet you add vanilla extract and sugar to the mixture

i’m british and i use eggy bread and french toast interchangeably. i say eggy bread casually but i normally have it with honey or golden syrup, so not savoury, unless i have bacon or something with it. i use french toast in restaraunts or where it’s on a menu because i don’t wanna sound weird lol

Saran Wrap is a brand name that became a common name much like bandaid, Walkman or frisbee. French bread is dipped in egg mixed with sugar, vanilla and sometimes cinnamon before fried. Usually topped with fruit, preserves or syrup. Flan is actually an egg custard often topped with a Carmel sauce.

One of my favorite vegetables dishes is actually a Native American dish called “ Succatash “ consisting of corn ( maize ) and Lima ( broad ) beans cooked together . My Mom would use creamed corn in this dish. It was a stable during harsh winters in Native cooking because both ingredients could be stored dry , then cooked together.

We use aubergine when describing a shade of purple. Joel is right about lima beans. It's lima, i pronounced "eye". Saran wrap is a brand.

Silverware is also called flatware in the US, and it is often called cutlery as well. Flan is a custard (similar to egg custard) with no crust. Fruit pie has a baked fruit filling in a crust with crust on top. A fruit tart is the photo of glazed fruit on a shallow cream tart you showed.

Omg flan is a Latin desert and that other one that you had pictured is a fruit tart not a pie haha love y’all!!!

Okay, I’m an AMerican living in Japan. Flan- I always picture an egg custard turned out on a plate and covered with a caramel sauce. Not a cake of any kind. Auburgine -Despite growing up in a home full of cooks and working in restaurants all through my youth, I never heard the term until I was well into my 30’s. We say eggplant because the fruit is most commonly egg-shaped. A pitcher has a wide open mouth with a pouring spout but a jug is a wide bottle with a narrow mouth and a handle to aid pouring. Why don’t we just say “beetroot”? Because we don’t say carrot-root, radish-root, or turnip-root.

I've never heard of french toast referred to as 'eggy bread'; this was informative and entertaining.

I'm pretty sure the fairy cake you're describing is what we call a shortcake and we fill it, (the depression on top) with strawberries that have been sweetened and sliced and allowed to sit overnight to create a kind of a thick juicy juice and top it with whipped cream

A lot of folks use the term "Flatware" which encompasses Silverware and utensils of any other material. Gherkins are a type of a pickle here, usually of the sweet variety. Also Gherkins are smaller than your standard deli Dill pickle.

Another fact for you we also use Eggplant and Salmon as colors. So I might have an Eggplant or Salmon colored shirt. Beets are always plural as in "Give me some beets" or have some "beets" .

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. If someone says “I had ham for dinner” or “I had a ham sandwich,” we usually know which one they’re referring to.

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.

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.

Flan is a custard pie... custard only. What you showed is a fruit tart - fruit atop a hard crust or over a thin sponge cake. Fruit pie (we just call pie) is with flaky crust... it can have a crust top or not with sweet fruit filling. A fruit crisp/cobbler is with fruit on the bottom with buttery crumble on top. A buckle is fruit on the bottom in a pan with the pie crust on top. Lol, we have loads of options. Americans love and are very serious about their pie.

Gerkin is a type of pickle over here. My grandfather made pickles for a living. Gerkins were whole mini-pickles. Not a full grown cucumber.

I’ve never heard anyone say “cooker” when they mean “stove”. I think we’d only say cooker if we were taking about a slow/pressure cooker specifically. 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. The same way some of us might call all diapers “Pampers” or all bandages “Band-Aids”. Some regions even refer to all sodas (or pop 🙄) as “Coke”, and will ask you which kind of “coke” do you want lol

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. :)

Cookie actually comes from the Dutch word “koekje” back when New York was a colony of the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Eggplant comes from the fact that when it is growing, before it becomes purple, it is white and egg shaped.

We’d sing that song in primary too! ‘Cauliflowers fluffy and cabbages green, strawberries sweeter than any I’ve seen. Beetroots purple and onions white, all grow steadily day and night. The apples are ripe and the plums are red. Broad beans sleeping in a blankety bed.’
