"Rutabaga (US) is sometimes referred to as swede (UK), but also called
turnip or neep in some parts of the UK, particularly Scotland, depending on
the variety and how it is prepared"

No these are two different beasts I loathe turnip and for me, it flavours
a whole dish and makes me feel ill!

Swede is different and I love it mashed with butter

Both get referred to though as 'neeps')

I've been watching Australian cooking shows on TV lately, and have
discovered that a chicken leg+thigh piece is called a "Maryland" in
Oz. Never heard of that before.

Courgettes hadn't been invented when I was growing up so we only ever
had marrow.

And of course you can now by "baby" courgettes, which is a bit of an
enigma if you think about it too hard.

Despite being brought up in Scotland, I don't care if I never see
turnips or Swedes again; I know they are different.

I like raw rutabaga as crudites, coose your favorite dip.
Rutabaga is also good fried:

Rutabaga Fries
Ingredients

1 large rutabaga (1 lb.), peeled and cut into French fry-sized sticks
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp smoked sweet paprika
2 tsp onion granules
1 tsp garlic granules
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Place the peeled and sliced rutabaga in a large bowl and add the
remaining ingredients, tossing everything together until the fries are
thoroughly coated with the seasonings and olive oil.

3. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread the fries out in a
single layer and place the sheet in the oven for 25 minutes, or until
the fries have turned a golden colour with browned edges. Flip the
fries once halfway through cooking with a spatula or fork.

4. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with whatever dipping
sauces you like.

Yes, they're two entirely different things. Don't mind the occasional
swede in my stews.

I've always known what Chicken Maryland was but thought it was the manner of
cooking the chicken leg and thigh piece not the name of the meat.

It's a really good cut for things like apricot chicken and I used to
see 'maryland' in all the shops, very very common in Aus.
Since moving off the mainland though I've not seen it for some reason.

Why do you need it? I suspect you cut up your own chicken as do I.

I don't need it as such these days, but just an observation on my
part. I used to see maryland cuts all the time, just as frequently as
drumsticks, legs, breast or thigh. Now it seems to have disappeared,
at least here in Tas anyway.

Thank you! I didn't get very far before I saw

Broad beans Fava, lima or java beans

Favas and limas are two completely different beans... no idea what a
java bean is - coffee?

and

Bully beef Corned beef

Okay, Ophelia... have you been holding out on us?

Always puzzled me that Brits used the French names (courgettes, aubergines)
for what I think of as Italian vegetables (zucchini, eggplant). Why not
melanzane?

So I decided I would hunt them down. It was not easy. Java beans is the
name for software, and that appears like a million times in Google. With a
lot of negative words I found this page from the Royal Highland and
Agricultural Society of Scotland:

http://books.google.com/books?id=I6o...ge &q&f=false

It says that java beans are the uncultivated variety of Phaseolus lunatus.
Burma beans are the cultivated variety. The scientific name for lima beans:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaseolus_lunatus

Don. www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom).

Meanwhile, broad beans (fava beans) are Vicia faba, an old Old World domesticate, while lima beans are New World. Different flavour, too, so I wouldn't consider limas a good substitute for broad beans.

The list is mostly OK, but there are various errors and half-errors. E.g., clotted cream (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream for clotted cream); "mixed spice" is not "allspice", allspice is pimento (the Caribbean round spice), while mixed spice is a mix of different spices; "strong flour" is high-gluten flour (i.e., baker's flour or bread flour); powder "prove" can mean "rise", but is also used to mean to test the yeast for viability before adding it to the dough ("prove" = "test"); see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofing_(baking_technique)

Thank you for doing that sleuthing. I didn't get past all the
software references. Wondering why they would name fava beans once
and lima beans twice? That's rhetorical, I don't expect an answer.

Does "1066" ring any bells? England was invaded by the French, and
afterwards the "English" aristocracy was of French heritage and spoke
French. The real English people (Anglos) were merchants and farmers.

IMO: French words filtered down to the ordinary people over the years
because it was (obviously) "posh" to sound French.

When I was trying to figure it out, I Googled images of marrows that
were half the size of a full grown man and the text with the images
led me to think that marrow was a different plant. I've inquired here
plus another group more than once asking if marrow and zucchini were
the same and have been told they are different. They don't seem to
know what a pumpkin really is either and don't get me started on their
use of the word "pudding".
