I also believe that Milky Way in the States is what we call a Mars Bar whereas our Milky Way is very similar to your 3 musketeers.

In Canada too oddly enough! :)

I think Canada because of its British connection often seems to have things the same as we do whereas the rest of the world tends to go the American way except for weights and measures.

That brings me on to another thing I have noticed that Americans tend to measure by cup or spoon ingredients rather than weigh them.

That is totally alien to us English we always weigh, I am still pounds and ounces for cooking and my own weight but work wise I use the metric system.

Also we are now centigrade not Fahrenheit.

Another thing gas cookers I have never seen an American recipe saying Gas Mark 4 or 5 or whatever - do you not have gas ovens or if you do are the temperature in Fahrenheit not mark.
