Aussie



 Australian


American

Milkshake


N/A


Expect a Thickshake if you ever order a
milkshake

Lemonade


Sprite/7up


Lemonade in USA is drink derived from lemons. One of the few things
that make logical sense on the USA


Entree


Starter


Entree in USA is actually a main meal.


Marinara


Seafood


If you ask for marina in the USA, you will end up with a plane tomato
base.


Napolitano


Marinara


 


Biscuit


Cookie


Biscuits in the US are breakfast foods. Similar to scones. Don’t get
confused if someone offers you a bacon and egg biscuit.


Ice Chocolate


Good Luck


No ice chocolates seem to exist. If you find a place, please let me
know


Boot (Car)


Trunk
