Does the word mean something different in England?

I think they may be correlating it with the similar sounding word “hurl”. Huel on the other hand is readily available in shops in pre-made form, and I’ve seen it in vending machines in Heathrow.

Maybe it's because it sounds like 'gruel', or the sound of vomiting.
