Food naming

I love the USDA's Food Composition Databases for assisting my calorie-counting but I occasionally forget how to translate food names. For example, tonight we have beef mince cooking and I did not easily look it up based on that term from its British packaging. Of course, in American parlance this is ground beef, i.e. hamburger; remembering that was key. Further, excellently the USDA provide a ground beef calculator whose calculations agree with my own so it does what I expect.
