- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoThere was a post on HN a couple years ago I think that was about "things you think are named after places but are not" that was really interesting. My favorite was German Chocolate Cake, which is not from Germany but was invented by Samuel German.
- smcl 4y agoThere are a whole bunch of these in Czech: "španělský ptáček" (spanish little bird) is egg, gherkin and spicy sausage wrapped in ground meat and baked. "srbské risotto" (serbian risotto) not quite a risotto, just a rice, meat and vegetables dish "anglická slanina" (english ham) just normal back bacon "turecký med" (turkish honey) a sweet nougat and nut thing "holandský řízek" (dutch schnitzel) breaded pork or chicken schnitzel but filled with cheese "americké brambory" (american potatoes) potato wedges! "pařížská pomazánka" (parisian spread) a mayo and vegetable sandwich spread

- thom 4y agoGood luck marketing this in regions where the urban dictionary definition of ‘Dutch oven’ prevails.
- TheSpiceIsLife 4y agoAnd the Dutch Oven was invented in Bristol by an Englishman and a Welshman.
- smcl 4y agoThere's an alternative, funny meaning to "dutch oven" so when I read this I wondered who out of the Englishman and the Welshman was the perpetrator and who was the victim :)
