In Northern Europe, “caribou” are called “reindeer”. And of course, the North American “antelope” isn’t an antelope at all, it’s really a kind of goat.

LOLOL. I noted the use of Elk and Moose and figured it had to be something like that.

In the UK, kerosene is called paraffin. In the US, it was the waxy stuff they used to coat milk cartons with. I used to scrape it off and eat it when I was a kid.

I’m glad I linked to that article rather than the American version which didn’t mention the moose/elk controversy. What a hoot.

Here's the link at the bottom for the "Elk or Moose?" deal. Back in Minnesota my folks had an ornamental crabapple tree that was loaded with fermented crabapples in the winter. Cedar Waxwings would fly from miles around to get blasted on them.
