There's also Icelandic Yogurt which is very much like Greek Yogurt, only a bit milder in taste. But I guess less known internationally.

It's also called by a completely different name (Skyr) and isn't QUITE the same when you get into the process of making it. It finally became available to buy in Canada and some other countries last year after I'd been looking for it forever, not the totally authentic stuff but same manufacturing method, and oh MAN I love it. I hated most greek yogurt because it always left a nasty aftertaste in my mouth, but I LOVE skyr. The stuff behaves like Greek yogurt (crazy thick, lots of protein and no fat) but has none of the awful aftertaste.

I like them both. "Regular" low-fat yogurt tastes pretty disgusting so I'm very happy with those two. Maybe the taste and aftertaste depends on the actual brand and where/how it's produced. The Skyr I buy is from a Danish-Swedish dairy company (they produce their products for Germany in Germany though). It also used to be the only one. I saw another brand recently but haven't tried it yet. By now there are also quite a few brands of Greek or Greek style yogurt so I haven't tried them all. But they're rather the 10% fat version.

It’s probably because British style pancakes are thin and basically the same as crepes (maybe exactly the same?). The thick and fluffy pancakes are (I think) unique to North America.

I just tried these google autocompletes, and here in New Zealand eight of the answers are different: jam and marmalade, corned beef and silverside, bourbon and whiskey, coke and diet coke, spring roll and pancake roll, sashimi and raw fish, bisque and soup, and lard and butter. I'd be interested to hear from people in different countries what other different answers come up!

I only got shortening because I lived in the States for a while. It isn't a word used in UK much if at all.

I didn't think of dripping but it is an excellent answer, too good for Googlers though it appears.

In the US cider and apple juice are basically the same thing. In some areas cider is the name given to freshly pressed apple juice in the raw state and apple juice is the filtered product, but there is no legal standard. Some companies label the same product as cider in the autumn, and apple juice the rest of the year. We refer to fermented apple cider as hard cider.

Margarine and vegetable shortening (like Crisco) are actually the exact same thing. They are both vegetable oil in suspension with water. Margarine adds chemicals for color and revolting taste. Then people invariably use vastly larger amounts of that Crisco with its chemical additives than they would with "unhealthy" butter.

Perplexing.

Whenever I have butter I invariably use drastically hugely vastly larger amounts than I would when I use margarine because it's so much tastier, which is why I don't trust myself to buy butter very often!

They're not the "exact same thing" as you point out yourself (since margarine is flavored and colored and shortening usually isn't). But more importantly (because there is such a thing as butter-flavored shortening that adds salt and butter flavor, like margarine), shortening doesn't contain water, so your impression is incorrect.

With several people talking about what their autocompletes say in their countries, I was curious if these would all actually be the top answer in the US. Sure enough, I got all of the same autocompletes, except for lard (tallow) and bisque (soup). In both cases, the quiz’s answer was #2. (Technically the top autocomplete for crepe was chiffon, but since that is a different meaning of crepe, I didn’t count it)
