In American English when you name a food you are referencing the source of the cuisine, not the literal source of the ingredients themselves. If I saw Iberian Ham at the store, I would assume it tastes like the Spanish product, not that it is from Spain. I would assume “jamón tejano” was some sort of Texas BBQ.
- danans 6y ago> In American English when you name a food you are referencing the source of the cuisine, not the literal source of the ingredients themselves. That is by no means a hard and fast rule. Consider: - Alaskan salmon - Napa Valley Cabernet - Michigan Cherries - Georgia Peaches All of these refer to the places they are produced. And of course there are examples where the place name has fossilized into the product itself: - Monterey Jack cheese - Arkansas gold apples
