So I need a bit of help from any Americans on my flist. I don't think there are many of you, but I need your lingustic skills my friends

-Rusks are available in the US only in fancy stores that make a point of stocking unusual foods or UK-specialty food shops. An American child growing up in the time of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers likely wouldn't have had them. There's actually a fairly large debate in the US over whether teething biscuits are a good idea or not, because 'they'll encourage snacking and make my baby fat.' As a relief for teething, I'd suggest a frozen teething ring, a plastic water-filled ring that is placed in the freezer, then given to baby to suck on to relieve pain. If you're looking for a snack-y food for toddlers, I'd suggest Cheerios eaten by hand, dry.
-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are just their awesome selves.
-Marzipan is marzipan, but speaking from personal experience, I've never had a Christmas cake of that style. We'd do gingerbread men, pumpkin or sweet potato pie, or brandy bundt cake. Which would be more probable for your story will likely depend on where in the US they live (or more accurately where the parents are from).
-Hand-me-downs.
Hope that helps! I figure reinforcing what others have said can't hurt, right?
Thank goodness she did, or I wouldn't have so many awesome people turning up to tell me what's what! Thanks for helping! I may be asking some more questions again later, cos this is just checking up one what I've already written, and I have no idea how the rest is going to go!
