Difference between: cucumbers and English cucumbers
People may ask about the difference between a cucumber and an English cucumber because English cucumbers are more expensive – $2 per cuke or more – is it worth the extra dough?

Difference between: mouthfeel and texture
I first learned of the term “mouthfeel” in The New York Times article “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food.” Then, it came up again when I was reading, Salt, Sugar, and Fat.

It occurred to me people really don’t know the difference, and clearly, they need to.
