There is no telling what they call it! I learned from the British Baking Show that they call cookies "biscuits" and they call cake "sponge." LoL I do love these types of cultural differences-- makes life interesting and fun!
In Australia we call them bisuits also.. so you can imagine my disgust when I heard you guys love biscuits and gravy.. And not milk.
But surely you have sponge cake.. it's a type of cake...

We call American cheese "American cheese" some will argue it's not even cheese but whatever.
And that's what makes it American 🧀 😉
Is this the kind of thread where we talk about some people call it Pop, others call it cola or soda?? I always enjoyed the word pop, but I always seem to say soda, unless I want to remember super troopers. Then I will ask for a liter of cola at a place where drinks are not even measured that way.

Except for us who were born and raised in SE Texas- all sodas/colas/pops are referred to as cokes. Also what the rest of the country calls service roads are called feeder roads.

That confused me when I lived there briefly because I was used to them all being sodas.
I did a double-take the first time a co-worker asked a friend to get him a coke, the friend asked what kind and the guy replied "pepsi".
~blink~
And I learned that gravy is basically a beverage in the South...

I was born in Wisconsin and I remember everyone calling it pop, my mom still calls it pop.
Moved to Phoenix and down here everyone calls it soda, so maybe it's like a regional thing?

I suppose its just carry over from what each population associated it with when carbonated beverages were becoming widespread. perhaps those who call it Pop, associated it with the sound of that pop from opening a can.

Lemonade would not be considered a coke unless it was carbonated. Basically anything made with fizzy water would be considered a coke- except for actual fizzy water itself because nobody drinks it there. Proper etiquette for when someone asks you for a coke is to ask them what kind. Don't get me to lying about WHY because I have no clue, neither does my 73 year old dad who was also born and raised there.
