Was thinking today about differences between our language, do you guys say "Fish and Chips" too?

In Upstate NY, we call getting clean a "shower," and we wash our ass with "soap."

A series on TV is called a "show," and a spouse is called, "yo!"

The rubber on the bottom of our vehicles we call "tires" and when we are in there, moving the shitbox, we call that "driving
The Trunk Of A Car Is Called The 'Boot'
And A Cart Is Called A 'Trolly'
Beers Are Called 'Pints', Right ??

So one big one is pop. You call it soda and in Canada we call it pop. How about Fish and Chips? Do you guys call it that, or just "fish and fries"?

Now oddly, we also call fries, well, fries. But if it comes with halibut fish, we call it chips. We rarely say French Fries, just fries (probably the influence of the British who want all things French eliminated from Canada)

What say you? Fish and Chips?
It's pop in western New York, too.
And there it's goulash. In Maine it's American Chop Suey, and DON'T ask me why. What do you guys call macaroni and hamburger in tomato sauce?

Soda, pop, tonic, fizzy lifting drink, it all depends on where you are.


Goulash and American Chop Suey are utterly unrelated. And if you make it with tomato sauce you should be shot.
"goulash" to a lot of people is the same thing as American Chop Suey. Just a different name. I've never made real goulash.

The only proper dressing on fries is la moutarde.
Ketchup, I don't have any idea what good that shit is. Another full-o-sugar counterfeit condiment.

Here's A Hungarian One
That Is Definitely Not Chop Suey
More A Stew

Hungarian Goulash Soup (Gulyasleves)
Paste 'Goulash' In Their Search Box
All Kinds Of Different Styles

I Plan To Make One Similar To The One Pictured Earlier In The Thread
Because It's Like My Dear Lil' 'Old Gran-Ma Used To Make

My family is from the south. I’m a grits and eggs guy. :)
Nasty..I grew up in the Southwest and we no eat no soul food.
I spent enough years in SC to have a strong southern accent when my dad was transferred to Md. I can remember being teased, and learning how to fight. :)

Years later... I took some time off work to spend a month in Myrtle Beach. People who didn’t know my history were commenting about the accent I came back with. lol

We call call basically just baked mac and cheese with meat I guess. We have a product called Kraft Dinner (or KD for the new cool kids), and it is what you call mac and cheese. We basically exchange Kraft Dinner to mean Mac and Cheese, unless, it's homemade of course, but KD is a HUGE, cheap, generalized Canadian food. Think of Q-Tips to mean cotton swabs, or Band aids for bandages. The brand is so big, it becomes generic for that product.

I can't resist.
