I'll forgive the horse thing, because you are French. See? That comes in handy occasionally.
"Louche" is the procedure of dripping drops of absinthe over the sugar cube and adding water to make it pearlescent. It's part of the ritual. You will probably not go near this on account of the alcohol.
Funnily enough, a South African on my friendslist complained about this being an excessively American list on account of the USAn branded foods like McDonald's and Krispy Kreme. But most Americans don't get "Clotted Cream Tea" at all. That's not a dish, that's a meal, with tea and scones with clotted cream. OMG good but you might as well just inject in my arteries and get it over with. Sigh.
