Language Mishaps

So both me and the Australian people speak the same language, right? Yes, that is correct, but it doesn't mean we don't use different words of the same language to describe the same thing. Today's example, tomato sauce. In Australia ketchup, as we call it in North America, is referred to as tomato sauce. Why is this a problem? I will tell you. Anybody who's ever come over to my place knows I cook a mean pizza. I don't settle for store bought frozen pizza, I like to put the ingredients together myself. Such was the case last night. The only problem, I mistook tomato sauce as a suitable base for a pizza, and not a tasty topping for my fries. But don't you fret, dear reader. I am never beaten! By combining the "ketchup" with a spicy red sauce, a little garlic and some chili flakes I created a fantastically tasting sauce. The pizza was not a bust, in fact it tasted grand! This has been a lesson in language, though. We may be speaking the same language, but we're not talking the same thing! PIZZA!!!!!!!!
