]]> Even if you go to another English speaking country, chances are there will still be words that you don’t understand. This is especially true for food, and there’s nothing more embarrassing than not being able to speak your native tongue! To save yourself the shame, here is a list of foods you might come across in your travels and their counterparts.

Eggplant

Whether it’s an Italian restaurant, Middle Eastern, or anything in between, eggplant is a word that will probably not exist on any menu. Instead, you will see aubergine, which is the French word for eggplant but is used more commonly.

Cilantro

Cilantro is actually the Spanish word and is used in the US mainly because of the close proximity to Mexico and the wide range of Latin American food. However, in other parts of the world, you’ll find coriander instead.

Rutabega

This delicious root vegetable is a cross between a cabbage and a parsnip. Great for roasts, soups, and more, in other countries outside the US you will find swede on the menu instead.

Biscuit

Although we do have southern style biscuits in the US, most likely if you’re in an English speaking country you will find that biscuits are actually what we call cookies!
