Hi everyone,

I was wondering if someone here could answer my food-related question:

Can you get Onion Bhajis at your average Indian takeout place in the US? And if so, do you call them Onion Bhajis or do they go by another name.

Thanks in advance :)

Edit Thank you everyone who answered. You've all been a great help.

Hi folks. I have a question regarding toilets/bathrooms ( Read more... )

I asked a creative writing mailing list for volunteers to read and review a story I've written. There were some things I thought might catch people out but the first two people to comment both stumbled on something I never expected ( Read more... )

Hello there, everyone. I just found this comm and it looks very interesting, so I thought I'd join. I'd love to help any writers with crazy Americanisms! :)

Quick question about bars in America-would they serve beers in bottles or glasses? I've got them drinking first in Illinois, and then in Nevada, if it varies from state to state.

Would a lower class woman from Boston (Faith Lehane, if anyone's interested) use the word "sprog" when talking about her baby? Or does that sound extremely British?

I've just found this community, so hello! It may be odd for a USian to be asking this question, but I live in New England and I've never driven anywhere west of Louisiana, so I hope this is all right.

I have a character (Rodney McKay of Stargate: Atlantis, in case that affects anyone's answers) who needs to drive from Nellis AFB, Nevada, to ( Read more... )

If I have someone eat:
ice-cream garnished with chocolate topping, Twinkies, syrup, and Snickers Bars

...ignoring how completely ridiculous that combination is, do the individual items listed sound like things you'd have in California?

Or do I need to change some of them?
