People are only just finding out the difference between fish and chips in US and UK

You say potato. I say potato. You say tomato. I say tomato. It can be fun to compare how different people, and sometimes different countries, use the same words. But it can also lead to confusion, and there's a hilarious mishap that happens more often than you would think, when people forget there's a difference between "fish and chips" in the US and UK.

And Brits should take note or risk getting caught out - as several holidaymakers have over the years. Fortunately, it's not a mistake you're likely to make twice, considering many have called the mix-up the stuff of "nightmares."
