As I think I have mentioned I got the idea for this
post from Coming
Unstuck. I have used her list which was hilariously headed Arse to Ass – A Translation
But I have added more things to it – my ones are at the
end of the list.

I look forward to hearing about other differences from
you and will update the list from time to time.
As a member of the UK I can agree with the vast majority of these! However it would be an aubergine, courgette and sweet potato for us too. In fact I have never even heard of a kumara! Or glad wrap? I am thinking that might be cling film?!
