Guest guest Posted September 9, 2000 Report Share Posted September 9, 2000 Here are some I can think of off the top of my head: UK - North American aubergine - eggplant courgette - zucchini mange-tout - snowpea parsnip - swede (this depends on where in the UK you are too) cookies - biscuits biscuits - scones I'm sure there are lots more.... A graham cracker is a kind of wheat-y cracker; I don't think I've seen them here (never seen arrowroot cookies here either).

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2000 Report Share Posted September 10, 2000 Sorry, I wasn't clear...I don't live in the US! I'm in the UK; it's *here* that I've never seen them! I spent about 10 years living in Canada, so I'm familiar with graham crackers from there. Diane, who asked what one was, is also in the UK.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2000 Report Share Posted September 10, 2000 A swede is the british way of saying rutabaga.
