Cooking Languange

Sure, but 'spud' is generally taken to mean raw potatoes, as in He bought ten pounds of spuds. You almost never hear He had spuds with his dinner.

Spuds are also purdies, pratties, and tatties.

We don't have purdies, pratties, and tatties, but do have taters, also baked Idaho. Idaho is famous for it's taters.

Do you have anything like what we can an English muffin or is it as I suspect and American invention? It's a flat yeast bread cut out like a biscuit, but pan fried. We cut it in half and toast it with butter and maybe add jelly.
