In Texas we call them crawdads. I've never heard crayfish before. Probably just a regional thing.

I had to google to see the Carpenters version. I found it on Youtube, and for me it proves the old saying, "Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD." How awful - a flute??? I'll bet Hank and Moon are still spinning over that one. I think they'd be okay with Fogerty's version, though.

'Jambalaya' is very much a Carpenters song! The Carpenters have been one of my favourite vocal groups since I was a wee lad! And this was one of their songs I listened to often – loved the flute!

I loved the Carpenters, too. Top of the World was one of my favorites when it came out and I still sing it (when no one's listening.) I'm glad you liked their version of Jambalaya but it's so different from the original it was hard for me to listen to it. Hank Williams wrote and performed Jambalaya in the early 1950s and it became another one of his legendary songs. (I just did some research and Wikipedia says the Carpenters' version was released outside the US and was popular in the UK and Japan.) I wasn't dissing the Carpenters, only their version of the song, but if you like it I hope you keep enjoying it. Hank's original version was a country song about the Cajun region of Louisiana, and he sang the song with a Cajun beat. The Carpenters' version lost the Cajun elements so it made no sense to me. If you haven't heard Hank's version I hope you'll give it a listen. There's quite a difference.

I'm from Texas, have lived in Kansas for the last too many years. I've heard crawdad, crawfish, and crayfish interchangeably. Crayfish is probably the least commonly used among the three, I think. Here's a cool map showing the difference usage of the three terms in the US.

The link is from this article. I would have linked the original source, but the maps don't seem to be working on his site. It's listed in the article, however.

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.

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.
