I'm from the north of England and I've DEFINITELY heard lolly a lot... used for ice lollies, chupa chup lollies, you name it. Honestly don't know if I've really heard people use 'lollipop' all that often.
My son-in-law is Swedish and Norwegian and they have it around Christmas. My daughter informs me it is truly awful. On the other hand, he can't stand grits. I guess it all depends on what you grow up eating.
we have lange vingers (literally long fingers, lady fingers) and kattentongen (litterally cat's tongues) Which do look alike, both long. but definitely different. They are flat, and not so puffed up ( and I believe not coated in sugar on one side.
Two different cookies. but I must admit, kind of hard to see in this picture which is meant. (Looking closer at the picture it seems there are flatter like cat's tongues but áre covered in sugar on one side.. I guess the only way of knowing is to eat them and see how airy they are ;)
We called them lollipops in NY when I was a kid. When I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I heard kids calling them "suckers." I think we would have been beaten up if we'd called them that in NY!
Also never heard of lady fingers. I thought it was biscotti
