"Kaffir lime leaves" are generally being renamed as "makrut lime leaves" in the shops here in the UK. No problem with the rename, obvs, although it confused me a moment the last time I wanted to buy some. The thought that any of my grandparent's old recipes having any herb or spice more unusual than black pepper is more of laugh, tho.

So I had to Google that. If anyone else is curious, there's a Wikipedia article on the word.

I'm kind of morbidly curious what some other foods could be.
