Shellfish - It's a weird term. I think it applies to any mollusc (but maybe not octopus and squid, seeing as they are shelless molluscs) and crustaceans.

White goods - Apparently this term isn't used in the U.S. White goods are those large, generally white appliances - the fridge, the chest freezer, the washing machine, maybe the drier.

No lamb? - One of the questions is what meat have you eaten apart from cow, pig and poultry. I notice a lot of people don't list lamb. Is lamb a commonplace meat only in Australia or something? I LOVE lamb, especially roasted. *drools*

Tipple - I know that this is an alcoholic drink, although I hardly ever use the word either.

Oh yeah - and aniseed is licorice flavour. ;)

Lamb is readily available in my part of the US (North central Florida), but it is pricier than beef, so it's only common during the Easter season.
Mutton is virtually impossible to find here... sheep farming never caught on in the US (it's way too hot for sheep in most of this country...)

Too hot?!

Bah, we manage to have MILLIONS of sheep around in the middle of the country and it easily gets over 40C often in summer. :p
