Right, as a Brit, out of the US words I know:<p>Tilapia - a kind of white fish popular in the US, not in the UK<p>Kwanza - an African American holiday&#x2F;festival, I want to say around Christmas?<p>Tamale - a Mexican food of some kind?<p>Tomatillo - another Mexican food, I want to say a sauce<p>Provolone - A kind of cheese<p>Luau - a type of Hawaiian festival or party<p>The rest, no clue. I&#x27;ve heard of Manicotti and Hibachi, but couldn&#x27;t say what they are.

I am definitely biased but I feel someone from the UK would have an easier time identifying the other list because alot of the US list is food brought from european immigrants
