Of course, regionalisms mean it could be called most anything.
For example: In most of the USA, a blended milk and ice cream drink is called a Milk Shake
In Massachusetts and much of New England, it is called a Frappe
In Rhode Island it is called a Cabinet
... and I thought that Italy was a complicated country! :hehe:
Well, according the land area shown on this page you could fit Italy in the US 31 times, so that gives you an idea of why different regions in the US have different terms and cultures in some cases. Talk about being complicated.
The regional food can be great though. The war between NYC area and Chicago area over pizza, for one. There's a type of breakfast ham that is only found in northern NJ called Taylor Ham. They put green chilies on everything in New Mexico. There's different kinds of BBQ including North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee , etc..

When you encounter a problem, if the solution isn't readily evident go back to the start and check your assumptions.
