A few of my friends come from the UK and Europe and they don’t call certain things the same thing as we do here in the states so this is to clarify any confusion with ingredient names. When I come across more words, I will add them.

Eggplant Aubergine
Zucchini (summer squash) Courgette

ground beef (chop meat) Mince

seed of the Cilantro plant)

nice work! I have one to add for you. I’ve noticed that while American recipes sometimes specify different types of winter squash (pumpkin, butternut, acorn, etc), European recipes often just refer to “pumpkin” or even “butternut pumpkin.”
I’ve had to explain many times that winter squash are generally interchangeable – I think the Europeans got it right by calling them all the same thing 🙂
Awesome idea!!!
