American- Irish Food Dictionary

Some food names have caused confusion for me in Ireland.

​Here are some of the different names for words, off the top of my head. 

• Zuccinni.......................Courgette
• Eggplant.......................Aubergine
• Arugula.........................Roquette/Rocket
• Beet..............................Beetroot
• Chicken Breast...............Chicken fillet (with a hard t, not the french pronunciation) 
• Bread roll......................Bap
• Sandwich......................Sambo
• Chicken Fingers............Chicken Goujons
• Sausages........................Bangers
• Bacon.............................Rashers
• Chips.............................Crisps
• Fries..............................Chips
• Cilantro.........................Coriander
• Molasses.......................Black Treacle
• Ground Meat................Mince Meat
• Napkin.........................Serviette

For the most part, Irish people would use the french word for the food. Even though I have lived here for quite some time, I am still learning the differences.
