Yeah when on this forum I write crisps (chips) bc not everyone is from the USA

you are not entirely correct bc a cookie over here is still a cookie but it is in the same group as a biscuit, there are different types of biscuits if you know what i mean lol

in scotland sandwiches are sometimes known as pieces lol

we also have two distinct types of bread, plain or pan :slight_smile: havent had pan for a while but i grew up on it, the best part was the outsider bc it was thicker and softer

I live in the south and we call all sodas Coke’s. You have to specify what kind of Coke you want.

When I was in Australia there was this gas station that sold chicken and chips (fries). They were so good. I went there all the time.

I live in Appalachia and we call sodas cokes or pop. If you go further north in West Virginia they call them sodas.
