    I feel videos like that always compare french fries (US) to chips (UK) but in reality the British use both with this distinction......

    Chips = thick (fish'n'chip shop style)
    The word chips can be used to cover both but french fries would never be used for chips.

      The major difference between the two terms is that roasting is applied to a road that allready has a form to it such as meat and vegetables while baking applies to a food stuff that would change its form over the cooking process such as a cake. You can roast a potato but you wouldn't say I'm going to roast a cake. Though tbh most people use these phrases interchangeably nowadays.

    I love these videos. A few observations:
    - Brits tend to us French terms, or words derived from French, to describe many vegetables including rocket, aubergine, courgette or corriander whereas Americans often use words derived from Italian, like arugula or zucchini, or Spanish, such as cilantro.
    - While frying pan is a common term here in the UK, we also use skillet which (I believe) often refers to a heavier, often cast iron, type of frying pan. The example image is something I would refer to as a skillet.
    - Squash is a liquid concentrate which requires dilution. The concept is similar to powdered flavouring, such as Kool-Aid, but in liquid form.
    - I find the American use of the Entrée surprising as traditionally in a Service à la russe (Russian style service), the Entrée course would be served before the meat-based main dishes. Outside of North America, Entrée is used to describe the course before the main course. While Starter is often used in the UK, Entrée is often found especially in French restaurants.
    And lastly...
    - British people pronounce Nutella INCORRECTLY!!! Nu-tella is correct according the Ferrero the company who produces Nutella.

    So we also have frosting but it is a special type of icing. I think we cook it with cake or something so it looks like frost. Squash is different to juice. So squash is sugary and more concerned and usually contains mixed fruits whilst juice usually just contains mostly natural sugars and is less concerned and isn't drunk with water. Now I am explaining it, it seems pretty confusing.
    Note: you can drink squash undiluted but it's just way too strong

    We in the UK would use the term frosting, but that is when you just cover the top in a thin/fine layer of icing sugar, we also call it dusting.

    Gotta set this straight, scones and scones is not the same thing.
    Skowne is from devon
    Skon is from cornwall
    Traditionally these are eaten with jam and cream and the order in which these are applied to the scone dictates which of the two it is.
    Jam with cream on top is Cornish and consequently Skon.
    Cream with jam on top is Devonian and consequently Skowne.
    It's basically west country competition, literally who's on top, whilst both have big fruit industries Devon is slightly better known for its cider whilst Cornwall is well known for its clotted cream.

      The scOne ScoNN debate is a nationwide one, but in the north it's most commonly scoNN unless you're trying to sound posh.
      What's the difference between a scOne and a scoNN? around £1.20

    9:10 she's right, they are (french) fries. Chips tend to be a bit thicker. Everyone calls them differently but to me personally, if they're skinny then they're fries. But hey, who cares? They all taste just as great no matter what the name!
