English

English is spoken in many countries, not least Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. In whatamieating.com we try to differentiate where possible between the English used in different parts of the world. So, if there is a term which you know to be English used in the United States (such as eggplant) then a search using 'American' should be as successful as one using 'English'. Of course, this is not always easy to tease out, and many many food terms, the greatest number on the website, are simply described as 'English' with no particular statements about where the term is used throughout the world.
