The Random Thread and the Royal Family of Canadia, the USA, and Great Britain

Clingfilm - Unless you saw the Full Monty, clingfilm is used to wrap food to keep it fresh. Plastic wrap in America. Wrapping it around your stomach is actually NOT normal in the UK!!!

Fairy cake - This not a cake for effeminate men, it is a cupcake.

Plonk - Normally you hear someone talking about "cheap plonk". Under £3 would probably get you cheap plonk, you need to pay a bit more to get decent wine. "Cheap plonk" suggests that the wine is not only cheap, but nasty too.

America: pudding= brown soft stuff. Usually chocolate flavoured, can also be vanilla and tapioca.

U.K: pudding= dessert.

Spotted dick - Not actually a medical complaint, spotted dick is a suet pudding with dried fruit and is an excellent pudding in winter with custard.

I learnt that today, when George had never heard of American pudding before. It was an amusing lesson, I'll tell you that.

Twiglets - These are an important part of the British culinary culture. They look and feel like little sticky twigs, though they are really a snack with a strange marmite tang - hence the stickiness. Try them when you visit.

Bin bag - The black bag that you put inside the kitchen bin to save you having to wash out the bin each time you empty it. Often comes with a draw string so that you can tie the top shut and avoid nasty niffs when you put it in the dustbin.
