I'm sure you all have plenty of examples, but the few I've found to be very different....
Chilli, in England, is much thicker (like a sauce), and served over a bed of rice, while in the USA it is served as a much thinner soup with crackers.
Lasagne, in England, is made with layers of pasta, bolognaise sauce and a cheese sauce made from sharp cheddar. No ricotta in sight LOL!
'Hard Sauce' (known as Brandy/Rum Butter in Britain), is served melted over plum pudding in the USA, but in Britain it is served as a solid, cold butter which then melts with the heat of the pudding.
Custard, in Britain is usually served as a hot, runny sauce over steamed or sponge puddings, or over fruit pies. It is only served cold as part of a trifle or with Jelly (jello).
Eclairs, profiteroles and other 'cream cakes' are always filled with fresh whipped cream, whereas I've only found them filled with cold 'custard' or fake cream over here.
I'm sure there must be countless ways in which foods are interpreted differently by different countries.....some of them far removed from any authentic version, but still good
