us / uk foods

Hi all,

I’m attempting to start this diet in the UK and I’m really struggling with the US -centric food suggestions. I don’t recognise lots of the meat cuts – round eye? bottom round?. Is mutton the same as lamb? What is ‘fu’? I’m finding that, far from being convenient I’m having to sit with google to find definitions or translations for basic every day ingredients. Any one else found any solutions for this. I don’t mean the more obscure foods like SWG which ahs more of a health slant but the every day foods which may be so in the US but not in the UK. Brick cheese? Is cheddar, a UK staple, not there because it doesn’t fit in the diet or simply because it’s not such a common US food like, apparently, brick cheese (never heard of it and I’m an adventurous eater!) please help!
