What foods do you personally know to be called something different in a another country?

I was watching a UK show called "Supersize vs Superskinny" on Youtube. Its a rather interesting show. But I was confused on what they called certain food items until I watched a few episodes of it. Like how potato chips are called crisps. (I also learned what "stone" was :smile: )

It got me to thinking, what are some other names across the globe for certain food items? Some people call soda just "pop." I also heard somewhere that in New Zealand, either a sandwich or grilled cheese or hamburger (forget which) is called a "toasty." Little mini educational points abound!
