Translations It just occurred to me that, seeing as the majority of posters on the SC lists are from places other than Aus., it might be helpful to post a list of things that might go by a different name in other places.
Arugula = Rocket
Romaine = Cos
Garbanzo beans = Chickpeas
Flax = Linseed (but don't buy linseed oil from the hardware store)
Granola = Muesli
Wholewheat = Wholemeal
Oatmeal = Porridge (near enough)
Chard/Swiss chard = Silverbeet (red or white)
Peppers/Sweet peppers = Capsicum
Cantaloupe = Rock Melon
Rutabaga = Swede
Courgette = Zucchini
Aurbergine = Eggplant
Apple crisp = Apple crumble
Jello = Jelly
Pulses = Legumes
Diaper = Nappy
Crib = Cot
Recieving Blanket = Bunny Rug
Binky / Pacifier = Dummy
Boppy = U-shaped Feeding cushion

Okay, I have a question - what is double cream and single cream? Is that like thickened cream and normal cream?
That's been bothering me for a long time.

That's what I take it as being. I like to buy 'pure' cream. It doesn't have gelatine or anything else added.

Here in the UK we have single cream (thin cream) extra thick single cream (thicker) double cream (thick cream) and just to add to the confusion whipping cream and squirty cream

I take half and half to mean sem-skimmed milk - as in skimmed = no fat; semi-skimmed = half fat and whole milk = full fat??????
