AUSTRALIAN,
BRITISH & U.S. COOKING TERMS
Most culinary terms in the English-speaking
world can cross national borders without creating havoc in the
kitchen. Nevertheless, there are differences in cookery term
usage - the Australian/British biscuit is a cookie to an American,
but an American biscuit is an Australian/British scone!
