Snow peas tend to be called "mangetout" in the UK (in Waitrose and Tesco, at any rate). What are called "sugar snap peas" are visibly thicker.

Except one (the thicker, fuller one) actually snaps, the other more or less rips or tears.

The sage photo you use doesn't seem very representative of the photos that show up when you do a Google image search for "sage". For one thing, most of the latter have leaves much more elongated than in the former. For a second thing, your photo obscures the coarse texture of sage leaves that is more visible in the Google photos.

That's a Japanese word. Although Japanese is spoken in the US, it's generally not considered "from the US". Also it doesn't begin with an 's'.

All i had in my head was 'mao dou' or hairy bean from the chinese. It would be too much for the quizmaster to research what all of these foods are called in all the languages of the world. At the end of the day i knew what it was called but in the wrong language. That's the way it goes sometimes.

Only b & white stripes if in shell. Mostly sold without shells in UK.

There was an instalation at the New Tate in London by Ai Wei Wei where the entire floor of the turbine hall was a vast field/beach of hand painted pocelain sunflower seeds and the audience/art viewership/visiting public could walk over, through, interact with and discuss.

There was a plea for people not to take any with them when they left.

Sadly I didn't get there to see it.

I have only heard of it one maybe two times. One was a travel gameshow. Where the challenge was they had to find a local to make it for them. So I remembered it, but never heard of it before. (And I vaguely remember once since, where more people did seem to know it and I was huh how do you all know this. But maybe I dreamt that..)

Samosas are delicious Indian snacks. They are very well-known in the UK, probably because of our large Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi communities, and that they feature on almost all "Indian" menus and take-aways.

"Also known as Emmental" is misleading. Emmental is just one variety of several thousand different Swiss Cheeses. Would be better if it said "Emmental or Gruyere for example"

Agreed, it threw me for a second. Huh it has another name? Then I thought ah (example of) holey cheese.

edit I do not know though if gruyère is a Swiss cheese. Not questioning it, just do not have the knowledge (I know it is Swiss though).

I believe the Dutch Leerdammer and Maasdammer are both Swiss cheese for example

Got them all second time round. I did spend ages trying to think of the US name for watercress, then realised it isn't watercress...

BTW yes what's the deal with "Swiss Cheese"? Is that just what Emmental is called in the US then? Isn't e.g. Gruyere cheese also Swiss cheese?

Please accept scollops for "scallop" - this is a correct term.

Never heard of soybean for edamame.

Schnitzel is with a variety of meats, not sure why veal is specified.

Swiss cheese is a bit of an odd one.
