	creme fraiche isn't really fresh cream. it's more like thick soured cream really

	also, i'm fairly certain after 8 years of french that toast isn't a french word.

	Given the worldwide audience, you may want to consider accepting American versions of the English answers in addition to the Brit/Australian versions. For instance, Americans are more likely to guess French bread for baguette, cookies for biscuits, candy for bonbon, chips for chips, etc. Keep the Brit answers too; just add more variations for acceptable answers.

	I'll add those variations then.

	Any more variations I need to consider?

	You should really add the american words. I'm a French speaker and I couldn't answer a few questions because I just knew the american words. Instead of "chips", I'd write "croustilles" as it is the real french word. Also, toasts should be called "rôties". And "petits gâteaux" means cupcakes. @peterlockwood87 : soured cream is "crême sûre", it's not "crême fraîche"

	@boumboum, thanks (and good to know what soured cream is, I didn't know that one) but I wasn't saying creme fraiche should translate as soured cream, I was more making the point that the direct translation of the words to fresh cream wasn't accurate as creme fraiche isn't what we'd think of in English as fresh cream

	I see you've already made a number of changes - which is good because I mostly guessed the answers that were the ones people told you to accept, haha. But one more, cupcakes should be accepted for petits gateaux...at least in Canadian-French that's the meaning...

	I typed in œuf a la coque in Google translate and the Spanish for it is oeuf a la coke
