The pawpaw referred to here is a small deciduous tree native to the eastern United States and Canada, producing a large, yellowish-green to brown fruit.

The papaya, whilst also sometimes being called a pawpaw, has been available commercially for some time in the US, and is not what is being referred to here.

Biscuits, chips, "pudding" or flapjacks are also completely different things in different countries.

It's the opposite of the scone situation; my wife pronounces that "scone"... whereas I always pronounced it "scone". Potato/Potato I guess. :P
