  Right, as a Brit, out of the US words I know:

  Tilapia - a kind of white fish popular in the US, not in the UK

  Kwanza - an African American holiday/festival, I want to say around Christmas?

  Tamale - a Mexican food of some kind?

  Tomatillo - another Mexican food, I want to say a sauce

  Provolone - A kind of cheese

  Luau - a type of Hawaiian festival or party

  The rest, no clue. I've heard of Manicotti and Hibachi, but couldn't say what they are.

  I am definitely biased but I feel someone from the UK would have an easier time identifying the other list because alot of the US list is food brought from european immigrants
