I was trying my hand at tikka masala about 20 years ago and it called for a capsicum. Couldn't find a translation on the internet. I asked a friends mom who was from India. She laughed and said it's just a green pepper.
Yes, I would love more of these. Like when I am in church, the pastor's brother teaches us a lot of Hebrew words and their meanings which help why people are named what they are named and their name meanings.
Americans in the South definitely say "butterbean" for young immature limas. And I feel like "green beans" is super common in the U.S. Like way more common that "string beans".
That was so funny 😂 And enlightening! Thank you!
We in Australia have a lot of funny differences too.. would be funny if you did a comparison between Aussie words vs US words!
You come to India. Explore the diversity of food (especially Rajasthan). I love your videos, they are based on facts. Lots of love from India. Good luck. And yes make more of these. We call the eggplant brinjal similar to hindi word baingan (बेंगन).
England came to Indian sub continent for the sake of taste of food as spices and condiments
@@faysalahmedsany1832 The british looted all we had but we started from that mess and are working towards restoring the glory of India.
Ah now I understand where the hated and destructive brinjal worm/ moth comes from. It really destroys my eggplants.
OP is hardcore, first he flex on her an reckon she must come to him, then he secondly talking about his eggplant. Hardcore
He didnt even ask, he gave a command "you come to india", no beating around the bush.
respect indian men on the internet
I love your topic, God bless you and keep safe always
And with that a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Shelbyville they had banished the awful lemon tree forever because it was haunted. Now let's all celebrate with a nice cool glass of turnip juice. (Or rutabega juice, apparently they're the results of a cross between turnips and cabbage! Lol) I love the way you speak, you enunciate so very well and as always you're so informative! 😄
Great analysis. I live in Quebec and in large cities like Montreal, you will hear both names (e.g., aubergine, eggplant) and even sometimes the Italian name. Sometimes people do not know the name in one language (even their mother tongue) and use the alternative name from another language (e.g. rutabaga for rabiole) because it is more common. Another is "currant" which refers to Corinthian raisins. If you look at fish, you'll find that there are even more names for the same fish, depending where you live (e.g. Mahi-mahi, for Dorado; Dogfish for small shark).
Oh! yes Nicole, absolutely love these sort of videos. Perhaps do like one a month or so, thanks as always for a great show xx
So Nicole, try this one. Here in South Africa we call aubergine a brinjal, coriander(cilantro) is known as danya (Indian derivative) and corn we call a mielie (normally white corn and derived from the Afrikaans word).
Interestingly the English word for eggplant/aubergine in India is brinjal as well 😀
Please do one soon on sweets and breads!
I always assumed you were Italian but to find out you are Calabrese is amazing. I'm from Toronto and we have over 1 million Italians here and most are from Calabria. Rock on sister!
Hug to my fellow Calabrese!!
@@TrueFoodTV Ironically the name of a Vegetable in the UK, or more specifically the name of the Plant that Broccoli grows on.
Baked beans on toast is divine 😄 (and so is jacket potato with beans and cheese!)
My husband Mark would agree with you! 😉
We used to have a range of restaurants based solely on jacket potatoes called Spud U Like and you could have everything from chicken curry to chilli on them.
That actually sounds good curry usually has diced potatos anyway it's a natural choice, beans however that's a no go. Chilli cheese potatos are very popular here in America too.
And there used to be a 'luxury' jacket potato fast casual restaurant just called Spud in London. I used to get their Boston style baked bean filled jackets.
I still find it crazy that Coriander is from the Mediterranean,and Basil is from India.
Oh no. In the midwest we grow different kinds of corn (maize). So we specify sweer corn as compared to dent or popcorn.
Oil Fried eggplant mixed in paprika and salt , as a side for rice ;
Baigan masala ;
Not a fan of baked beans 🙄.
Over steamed beans in sugar or beans pressure cooked with a little bit of curcuma chillies and grated coconut .
Potatoes in the Italian way ❤️.
Baked potatoes with butter, ghee or cheese with grated carrots, beets and other veggies or a side of egg
You know what I'm talking about!
Sweetcorn I knew because I taught English in China. Their English books in 1998 were written in British English--not sure now, left in 2006. Am English grain is Br English corn. Interesting presentation, most unknown to me. It really drives home the point that we who speak English MUST use Latin to be clear when discussing any plants or animals. Every plant has about 15 different North American English names--let's not even talk about leaving these shores. I was just on a wildlife hike and had so much Latin thrown at me I thought Gaius Julius Caesar would have been impressed.
As a side note, the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) menu lists WHOLE KERNEL CORN Sweet yellow corn. The inclusion of the word "sweet" is a British influence. Just want our British friends to know that the language influence is going both ways across the Atlantic. This is just one example.
Actually, you said *"Berengena"* pretty perfectly!
Eggplant parm sounds really good right now
Interesting....I actually thought the word Aubergine comes from the Indian word (baingan) that comes from baademjaan the Persian word.... no?
Since it is native to India, Beedemjaan in Persian probably came from Bhaingan in Hindi. And Aubergine is probably a mix of the Hindi Bhaingan and the Indian English name for Bhaingan- Brinjal. So probably Aubergine from Brinjal + Bhaingan
As a Brit I have one statement and one question for you:
1) I didn't know Cilantro was the American name for Coriander xD
2) Have you actually tried authentic Heinz beans from Britain? coz I'm surprised you say you don't like baked beans. I know the American beans are too sweet and unpleasant but ours is completely different. If anything it's a natural, warm and comforting taste. If you haven't tried it maybe ya should :D
A jacket potato is a potato baked in it's jacket (skin).
There are so many topping for a jacket potato, tuna and sweetcorn, corned beef, cheese, chilli, baked beans with or without cheese, coleslaw and so many more.
Tuna no!!! 😆
The original English name was egg plant when it was introduced from west Africa,the real origin is sub saharan Africa .
Woahhhh, baked beans!! Try baked beans on a jacket with cheese, and Worcester sauce. You can’t go wrong. Ask your hubby surly he won’t discriminate 😂😂😂
After that jacket potato insult I’m unsubscribeing 😂
I wasn't expecting to hear jacket potatoes getting their own section!
The most common fillings are:
Butter
Baked beans
Cheese (grated cheddar)
Coleslaw
If you're going upmarket there's:
Tuna mayo (sometimes with added sweetcorn)
Coronation chicken (cold diced chicken breast in mayonnaise mixed with "curry powder" and diced dried apricots)
I've never seen creme fraiche on a spud...
You missed the Persian badingan where the Arab word al badnjan comes from.
American - 'erb, English - "herb" it's spelled with a H people
Ok, so in Eastern Canada, the upper Atlantic States (like Maine and New Hampshire, and Massachusetts) baked beans are faaaar better than the kind you get from a can. They are a far more complex blend of sweet, savory, and aromatic, the base of the sauce being onions, molasses, and tomato paste, with a generous knob of pork belly thrown in for the braise. Served with brown bread and butter they are very difficult to stop eating. Miles away from canned.
anyone who's had vegetables in Britain knows they aren't really vegetables
I’d really like a video describing when in Americans history from obviously emigrating from England to the America’s that they started changing what they called these things and why there is still such a stigma in America around the what the British call things?
Some of them were changed in England after the Americans left.
You laughing is the pinnacle of my year. Keep smiling, Nicole. I cannot WAIT for the "Ask me anything" video. I've seen some very exciting questions. You are absolutely beautiful. 💯❤️
Baked beans in the US are sweet and mainly have bacon in them. UK beans are not really sweet and certainly not full of brown sugar. Don't know where you get the limited lunch menu from? Not at all correct dear I grew up in the UK and at 23 moved here (34 years ago). I visit the UK around 3 times a year. I really don't see limited lunch menus, but bear in mind most people have a good English breakfast and skip lunch. Also, in the UK a Rutabaga is called a turnip. The US turnip is in the UK called a Swede.
I'll file your complaints with my British husband and his family. 😜 But I assure you that rutabagas and turnips are two different root vegetables.
@@TrueFoodTV Nope, I grew up in the UK. Rutabaga is the same as the English turnip. I bet you as much $$ as you want! The American turnip is the English Swede.
@@TrueFoodTV The north calls what you call a rutabaga a turnip and then what you call a turnip they call a Swede. It depends on where your extended family is from. My grandmother always made carrots and turnips mashed together with black pepper to go with Sunday Roast Dinner. I've continued that on and I'm now 56. It's was always called turnip in my area. Then of course, there are the Scottish neeps/ Or, is it the same thing?
Best backhanded complement ever, it’s an art, it’s not a fine art…
Lol, even though I'm no foody, I agree with you 100% on the reaction to baked beans on a jacket potato...the horror! Fascinating history of the name of the eggplant. Thanks for another interesting and informative video Nicole!
🤣Wish I had this video before I moved permanently to the UK back in 2015 🤣
Being an expat, it was always difficult trying to figure out the UK name for things, especially vegetables and herbs... I mean H-erbs... Pronounced with an 'H' 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤣
Really loved this video! Growing up in America and not ever hearing some these names made me think! More videos like this would be awesome!
I loved that you did this video.
My kids love baked beans with some white rice 😂.
Please make more of this kind of videos
What about zucchini vs. marrows?
Another name for eggplant that I use often and throughout my life is brinjal
Gotta make your own bean sauce then.
Also mashed swede is a British delicacy as a side to roast dinners
Its batinjan without the al. Al mean the. Ps. I love your videos... Great Job. I love Arugula.
mmm....beans on a jacket potato
Yum!
In some parts* of Brazil mangetout/snow peas are known as "orelha de frade" (friar's ears). Love them cooked with meat and potatoes.
* Brazil is a HUGE country, and names can vary dramatically according to the state/region. Cassavas are known as "macaxeira" in the north, and "mandioca" in the south. Yams may be called "inhame" (more common) or "taiá". Tangerines, according to the cultivar, may be Ponkan, Mexerica, Mimosa or Bergamota. The list goes on and on...
You forgot magic beans.
wow, i now realised how much us malaysians were influenced by us english even though we're ex-colonised by british..
Just so ya know we eat swedes. My spouse is diabetic and in the summer we make “ potato “ salad with a swede. The difference is a serving of potato salad is 35 carbs, the serving of “ potato salad made with swedes is 8 carbs. You can’t really taste the difference, maybe a little but it is delicious. It is a cheat, and on a hot summer day it is well worth it. Swedes have a bitter flavor under the skin. If you simply peel it with a knife instead of a peeler you remove the bitter part. Cheers
Opening a can of worms with the word swede there. It's got two different meanings in the UK: Brassica napobrassica and Brassica rapa subsp. rapa - the latter more outside of England.
So glad to see you again 😘😘 btw u r looking so pretty in this red dress,, just like cherry 🍒🍒🌸💜 love you 👌👌
Very formative and interesting video about the origin of some vegetales names and so on... however, in the region where I live, we use the word "perejil" for what you say cilantro. In Spain there are some differences between both, they are not exactly the same regarding the shape of the leaves, the color and even the taste and flavour. We use them fresh. They are two plants of the same family, the apiaceas
Potatoes usually come in two ages young and old, young ones can be cooked and eaten with the skins as they're thin, think potato salad, older ones have a thick skin and are usually peeled before cooking or at a limit boiled and peeled before eating, baked potatoes you leave the skin on and it cooks in it's skin, think boiler jacket as the heat gets in but the moisture doesn't get out. It's cooked in it's jacket which you open up and eat what's inside when you put the toppings on. well that's the idea where I'm from.
some of the ones used in the UK are the same as in midwest USA ...green beans, sweet corn(prob. because we grow field corn and there is a big difference), butter beans and our baked potatoes typically loaded(sour cream, bacon bits, cheese, butter , chili and other meats) . Very interesting video
More please - than you! I enjoy the etymology word chase...so I enjoyed this video. I have a friend who is a Brit and he loves baked beans on toast with the occasional fried egg on top. Oh...that summer squash we here in the States eat...in England squash is either a drink or a sport...although...the summer squash is starting to appear in a few allotments or personal gardens. Cheers...
In India Eggplants are called Bringal in English and I have so fat actually thought that the name Aubergine might have come as a mix of both Bhaingan and Brinjal.
I loved this! Do more. Also, I wondered if snowpeas came from the similar way the peas look to snow drop flowers. Just a guess.
It is only in recent years that 'baked potatoes' have become 'jacket potatoes' in the UK. Both terms are used now, about equally. In my youth, my mother called oven roasted potatoes baked or 'baketies' which is a further complication.
Mother is another variation in England. It is generally 'mum' in the South, 'mom' in the Midlands and 'mam' in the north. Incidentally in the UK 'corn' means any cereal crop. Corn itself is called Maize.
Very interesting vid. Thank you!
LOL!! I'm 43 years old... born and raised in Philadelphia and I've lived the last 20 years in the Dominican Republic... I've eaten a lot of strange and exotic fruits and vegetables in my life and I have NEVER eaten a rutabaga or a swede! 🤣
Egg plant....is called "Old Blue Jeans"...? I will stick with eggs plant....it's tea and crumpet....do you serve cold beer....or the warm type....
I have enjoyed watching a lot of your videos (How Does It Grow?), but your recent ones have become rather boring. I wish you can go back to the old style and make more informative videos. This year I am growing Caucasian spinach, Orach, lovage, summer savory, chayote squash (as leafy vegetable) in my garden, and I cannot find good vedios about these vegetables on TH-cam.
I like the fact that you make apologies for the pronunciations of those foreign words, can you please do the same for pronouncing the Italian word spaghetti... spagheri please? That sounds so horrible to an Italian (...I am aware of the irrelevance of this but...) ; ) by the way I believe jacket potatoes are called that because they are baked in the oven in a "jacket" of aluminium foil
This was very eye opening for sure. As a kid we ate many bean sandwiches as we were poor and they actually taste pretty good. Also a version of beans and potatoes would be a chili with beans and cheese potato which is one of my all time favorites. Although I don’t eat them anymore because the carbs would put me in a coma , I certainly have fond memories of both!
The two first vegetables must be alongside potatoes and tomatoes my four favourite vegetables. And except for potatoes which I’ll start growing after winter, I’m in the Southern Hemisphere. “Prince of orange” is my favourite potato although I haven’t grown other varieties in recent times. Being Australian some vegetables have names more in line with American names. So in Aussie we say eggplant, zucchini and corn. But we say coriander for the leaf, coriander for the seeds, rocket for arugula, broad beans instead of fava beans. So Australia has some of the UK names and some of the American names for vegetables. I also hate canned baked beans.
Jacket potato because the outer jacket, skin when baked is usually hard and dry so skins aren't usually eaten, just the soft fluffy insides mixed with your favorite additives, chives, sour cream, cheese, butter, S&P, bacon bits. whatever
As an Englishman in the USA, I am frequently confused by which word is from which country. Been here too long I guess! British baked beans are not sweet :-( they are more like pork and beans in the USA.
Oh yes! German too. Then, there's Indian herbs, as asafetida that was also called devil's dung for catfish. Kind of a garlic onion mix, but from the resin of one plant. Used to be held in pharmacy, which it help prevents gas. Might have other uses. Also Indian mangoes are supposed to be the best, as Alphonso according to the web is the best of all.
Brilliant Nicole,i was wondering about this very thing only the other day.
I can't tell if the background is real or not.
Your swede comment hit deep. I live in the UK and almost exclusively eat local seasonal produce. That means for about 3 months out of the year my only vegetables are potatoes, parsnips and heap and heaps of swede (and its cousin the turnip)
I love your pronunciation, is so clear, as a non native english speaker I understand very well
Wonderful explorations. I have found it very interesting to hear more about it. Having lived in multiple countries and speaking 4 languages I will certainly pay more attention to etymology of similar words from now on.
The uk was also ruled by many French people. Think this makes the uk use French words more. Where as USA had a lot of immigrants from everywhere and the most popular word gets spread.
Green beans are often called French beans in the UK, not sure why as they don't originate in France but maybe they were introduced to England from France? Sweetcorn is also sometimes called maize in the UK, I always thought sweetcorn was an americanism?
Gherkin vs pickle vs cornichon...I always thought gherkin sounded like a monster from Greek mythology.
Habibi! come to Nepal, we call vanta for eggplant! And Nasu in Japanese lol
I don't know about the rest of the US, but here in the south baked beans are more savory with smoky flavors and/or pork. When searching recipes I found "pork and beans" more akin to the British baked beans with sweet tomato sauce of some sort.
Beans, navy beans fixed like New Orleans red beans n rice, yes. Cooked until they become gravy like, with plenty of seasonings, cornbread and even vegan sausage is good.
Nice
I do like these vs videos. Beans on toast is almost as bad as Marmite on toast, Gross. It's funny how some people are Extremely opposed to cilantro, like it's broken glass that has garnished the plate 🤣
The very popular Heinz Baked Beans in UK are not sweet like the baked beans sold in US.
They are savory beans stewed in tomato sauce.
And then somehow in Malaysia eggplant is also known as Brinjal... Not sure where does this comes from 🤔
Heh, we in SVK call the eggplant baklazan. I thought it is some local thing, turns out to be from arabic.
You have to be careful that you don’t glamorize British cooking - millions could die….
On potatoes, give it a dash, just a dash of vinegar. Plenty of better first, yes. But a dash of vinegar will give it a desirable taste.
string beans in the uk are runner beans and what we call green beans i think the usa call snap beans .Rutabaga comes from Swedish root lump .guess that's why we call it a swede ,
Maybe a little marmite on that baked bean jacket potato? Now we're talking a dish fit for any royal dinner plate!!😂
Maybe you need to make a vedio Arabic vs Spanish 🤔 lots of similarities, you will be surprised.
Baked beans like canned Bush's baked beans w/ molasses or the Van Camps pork n beans? Thanks anyone btw this channel rocks
Have five portions of vegetables a day regardless of how you called it. Enjoy.
This topic might be extra fun if discussing the differences with someone from the other place, even over video conference.
What a fun and informative video! You skipped bell peppers vs capsicum. 😁
Enjoyed this. Your video had me smiling for the first time today. Thank you for that!
My wife says in Mexico they call an avocado, aquacate, but in Peru they are called palta.
arabic word will be badinjana al is like "the". "albadinjan" is plural with al, so its like the eggplants.
All string beans are green beans but not all green beans have strings.. Also, butter beans are just immature lima beans..
Baigan ( बैगन )😄
Awesome.
Very instructive (To use the Italian stem 'istruzione').
Come to Maine and have beanhole beans, they're nothing like those baked beans in the video.
