8. There is a thing called "under proofing" but it's generally used in relation to bread dough

It's the only thing that I can think of that would be close to "on the hoof".

Not everyone uses the same terms or phrases for the same thing. Different experiences or perhaps old-fashioned terminology learned from an older family member.


I'm not sure how to explain this so I'll try to the best of my ability.


My grandmother didn't call her couch or sofa by these words, she always called it a davenport.


Back in the pioneer days, rhubarb pie was called "pie plant". There was generally no sugar added to the pie and sugar was added to the slices after it was served so people could add their own sugar amounts.


I notice that people get confused between a spatula and a turner. A spatula is the utensil that one would spread cake or brownie batter into a baking pan, or the scrap all the batter out of the mixing bowl or help spread frosting on a cake.

A turner is the utensil used to flip pancakes or hamburgers.

You would not believe how many don't know this and it actually causes disagreements. I knew a woman who asked her husband for new spatulas for Christmas one year and he got her turners instead. It's a common error but still a frustrating one.


There's recipes that go by several different names in different regions of the United States.

Hello Dollies are the same thing as 7 Layer Magic Cookie Bars. I get upset with people who call it 7 Layer Magic Cookie Bars. lol

Corn pudding, Spoonbread, Hoppy Glop and whatever other names this dish goes by is all the same thing.

Anyway, my last meal was several hour ago and so I'm not famished so I don't mind talking about food right now. By the time I wake up tomorrow, it will be a long time for my fasting hours are over with so I probably won't look at this again until I have my next meal.

Food threads drive me bonkers while I'm fasting. lol
