WOW! Most Americans want to use their own names, rather than adopt ‘English’ English terms! Thanks, Iris lilies ,
Well literally, I don’t “bake “potatoes in a conventional oven. I do cook them in a microwave oven, but that’s not really baking, or is it?
I like many British terms and would be happy adopt them. I mean, that whole dustup with ya’ll was 250 years ago and we can now let go of our stubborn need to distance ourselves from Mother England’s culture.
I prefer casual dining, jacket potatoes seem so formal.

We had lunch today at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, thanks to a gift card from my son. So, we're not too hungry--liverwurst and onions on an Engish muffin

Sunday, I made beef stew in the crock pot. Monday, I made cheeseburger tater tot casserole. Tonight is nachos.
Personally, I put a lot of the blame on Noah Webster!
Tonight we had bangers and mash with carrot and onion gravy. Just the thing on a cold wintry evening.
we don’t put any gravy on our bangers, but I like the idea of onion gravy. I’m not sure I’ve ever had it. I love onions very very much. and garlic. And leeks. anything in that genus.
