I love the subtle differences between food names, UK vs US. For example, on my 2007 trip to Scotland, I learned that what we call "macaroni and cheese" (or even "mac 'n' cheese") you call "macaroni cheese". What we call "cheese toast" was "toasted cheese" over there! There were a few other interesting differences as well.
