I saw a few things on that chart I didn't know, and even more I
don't believe.
Our lemonade isn't the same as English lemonade at ALL.
And I know what popovers are, and I've had Yorkshire pudding in
Yorkshire, and they're not even nearly related.

Re popovers: are you thinking of pastry triangles with fruit
filling? My husband calls those popovers, but I call them turnovers.
A popover, to me, is pretty much like Yorkshire pudding--a not-sweet
batter baked in muffin tins (though I know Yorkshire pudding is
sometimes baked in a roasting pan with meat).

Also, I think the English have something they call "still lemonade"
or "old fashioned lemonade", which is like ours. Otherwise
British "lemonade" is fizzy, which I'm sure you know.

I can't explain at all why they think we don't have spinach, though!

Yeah, you're right. I was thinking of turnovers. So I had no idea
of popovers. <g>
*Never mind.*
