In New England, we don't drop the 'r's, we just re-purpose them:
car = ca
idea = ideer
deer = deea

I grew up with peanut paste and tomato sauce and now It is peanut butter and ketchup. I don't know if jam is jelly or biscuit is cookie. Why on Earth Aussie kids wear baseball caps (backwards or not) is a mystery.

In a global connected world it will probably merge eventually. In any case it reminded me of this episode of the British show with Stephen Fry, Absolute Power. The episode in question was Spinning America where the PR people had to make people like America and they tried to do  it by showing the people what the world might be like without the influence of American culture. It's a clever show.

This is the Episode on YT well worth a look.

No tomato paste?

To me tomato paste is water reduced tomatoes in a can, probably with salt. Ketchup is mostly corn syrup or sugar, with a bit of tomato and some spices.
Stonent:
To be fair, in the US, we make a distinction between Jam, Jelly and Preserves.  Jam is the mashed fruit in Jelly.  Jelly itself is the spread formed from the juice of the fruit but is clear and has no visible fruit.  Preserves are basically Jam but the fruit is not mashed.
