Thread Name: BS: translations from the British
Subject: RE: BS: translations from the British
Art, I do know that squash, eggplant and zucchini are common enough veg on both sides of the Pond - it was the linguistic thing that made me feel mischievous, as we don't use any of those terms here but rather stick to the terms marrow, aubergine and courgette.

And just to confirm Q's post ... I don't think any native UK speaker is likely to confuse winkle and wangle. They carry very different meanings.
