Spare a thought for your country cousins across the pond.

We have lots of lovely vegetables and foods which we know by completely different names.

Most carb counters and sites like fitday are difficult if you do not know what things are called. Further complicated by us not knowing what a cup is either!

I know that aubergine is eggplant for example but are there any expats out there who might know what north americans call:

Mange tout or their big brother sugar snap peas?
Swede?
gooseberries?


None of which are on fitday.

Anyone got any more?

I wont bother anyone with marmite just now.... its mystery shall remain with those in the know
