Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

Thinking about it a lot of UK people now say "fries" instead of chips and "slaw" instead of coleslaw and "corn" instead of sweetcorn.

I'm going to make breakfast for dinner tonight - vegan sausages, bacon, tomatoes, hash browns and baked beans. Toast as well, probably. :yum

With re to 'fries', it may be because 'dirty fries' are very trendy atm. Everyone that I know, still calls them chips. Slaw is a term mainly used for grated vegetables served as a salad. I think that coleslaw would also be grated cabbage with a sauce i.e either mayonnaise or vinaigrette. I've never heard of the word 'corn' being used for sweetcorn. I also call 'hash browns' rösti. o_O Crisps are still crisps with the exception of tortilla chips.

The English language and culinary terms both change and evolve.👍

we say "corn" here, never heard anyone call it sweetcorn - we may say "peaches and cream corn" which, of course, refers to the white/yellow corn

for dinner last night we had an Yves Chkn burger with sliced cucumber, sliced tomato, a few cheez shreds and pickled jalapeno and hot sauce, on a bun and on the side a bag of chips with hummus to dip them in and also to dip the extra tomato and cucumber in

We mostly say corn, but sometimes the stores will have signs that say sweet corn. We call the yellow/white corn "butter and sugar," and then there's sliver queen corn, which is all white. But we just say we're having corn on the cob or just corn.
