Choices
You might want to choose some different foods. 'Eggplant' could be replaced with something that is understood by ALL English speakers (the international English word for 'eggplant' is aubergine) - for example 'egg'? Similarly zucchini isn't readily understoof outside of the USA or Italy and I have no idea what a popsicle or Quesadilla is!! The word 'jelly' is very misleading, Oreos (I believe) is a trademark. --ЗAНИA talk 20:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Isn't Xató a rather a récherché choice – and doesn't the picture illustrate the salad that often accompanies the xató (which is a sauce), rather than the xató itself? (Umeboshi and Varenikia are a bit obscure, too, and the jam picture is rather misleading as it appears to show a jar of strawberries.) I also agree with the comment above about zucchini: in the UK they are more usually known as courgettes. SiGarb (talk) 18:33, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Aubergine is listed by Wikipedia as the British English version, unless you consider British English to be the "proper" version of English. Seriously, if someone is from the US and writes a book, it's likely going to be from a US perspective.  Americans aren't going to be aware of these problems you mention.  Take "chips", I know that has a different definition in Britain than in the US; at least we're not using that here.  Same as Flower Alphabet, this book was originally made by Xxagile who undoubtedly is from the US.  I'm sure "hot dog" for H will be unfamiliar to someone as well.  Quesadilla is Mexican cuisine that has become popular in the US as well.  May as well move this to American Food Alphabet or make changes yourself because Xxagile is no longer active here. -- Adrignola talk contribs 19:43, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Looks like some of the words ЗAНИA mentioned have been swapped out now. Good improvements I would say. I suggest we use the related talk pages as follows for the other issues, and try to suggest alternative foods: -- Harry Wood (discuss • contribs) 12:07, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
