Comment: Emails from America: Food gets technical

• We Americans do have "cafetiere"s though you'll never find one calling it that. (I had to use google to see what it was). We call that a "french press" or "coffee press" and you can even get them at wal-mart.

• You missed a trick. In the 'I don't know the name, what does it do?' line of opportunities, maybe you could have taken over some HP sauce and pretended it was a petrol additive that would make cars go faster. Posted by Michael, UK
• Thanks farmerjoe for the heads up on the "French press". Michael, strangely A1 steak sauce is very similar. although no one seems to know what bangers are. The local butcher gave me a very strange look when i asked for some. Posted by stuartmiles, United Kingdom
