The definitions of a couple of food items that (sadly) are not available for pre-made purchase in the US? Also how is a the name of a new territory a slang word, obviously you'd want to make sure your recognizer could understand it, but new slang? I'd understand if they added Bob for Northwest Territories after the 'rename Northwest Territories "contest" was scrapped because some joker submitted Bob and it had the 2nd highest vote getter, though I don't know anyone who actually uses that as slang.
