The only British term that I can think of that WOULD be confusing would be calling french fries 'chips' and potato chips 'crisps'. Everything else should make sense to people, I would think... of course, having lived in Europe and having watched British TV as my sole source of TV in a language I could understand makes me a tad biased...
