French fries and French toast are not really from France. Thomas' English muffins were invented in Northeast America, not known in England--though scones are, and they're similar.
Dunno about french fries not being from France, there seems to be a debate whether they originated in France or Belgium.....anyway, love me some pommes frites with mayo! French fries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canadian bacon is not know as that in Canada.
"proper" English scones (the kind you have with jam and clotted cream for a Devonshire tea) are more like American biscuits than either muffins or the hard dry wedges they try to serve up here as scones. (those are actually a scottish version I believe)
We could send a dictionary to the Italians.... We know we're right Bell peppers are Bell peppers here. Seriously, I mean what I say. I like peperoncini peppers...
That's funny - I've always known them as Capsicums (the "bell peppers" that is)
Maybe I should be happy rather than sad that we don't have an Americanised version of crumpets. (I had to resort to making my own)
Don't think I've ever had either. Look like pancakes or waffles from what I just looked at. If you like what you made then who needs our version. Not sure I've had a real scone either.
