    Oh yes, I remember now.

    The sentence ' every fortnight I eat sultanas ' which makes perfect sense here apparently is confusing to Americans on both counts.

    Not to those of us who have read a lot of Brit lit ;)

    In fact, that was responsible for me getting words like theater (theatre) wrong on spelling tests in primary school.

    I've learned so many Brit food terms just from watching the Great British Baking Show. :D
