What's Made or Not Made Your Day?

Whenever I hear Americans talk about biscuits I get confused before remembering that they’re on about something totally different :sob:

Like I legit imagine a bourbon or custard cream with gravy when they’re waffling about it :sob:

I have a good rule to remember what to call chips and what to call crisps:

Fish & chips is a British food, so the potatoes that go with it are called “chips” in the UK and “crisps” of “fries” in the US.

And for the other kind, it is therefore the opposite.

When talking in English, I just avoid the word chips and always call them crisps or fries to avoid confusion, even though in German the thin ones are chips. Fries are pommes.

And the drinks are called Softdrinks, or if it’s one with a fruit flavor, Limonade, though that’s more rarely used these days and more common where the brand names aren’t well known

That’s something I sometimes see at Mediterranean restaurants as “Greek Fries” or something similar, and I tend to order if I see it. I’m okay with ketchup, but the herbs and feta cheese and lemon and such is great.

Meanwhile, here in Finland, we call chips “ranskalaiset”, which literally means “the French”. So we like to eat our burgers with the French :wink:
