Did you know beefeburgers were invented in Hamburg ,they don't contain any pork at all it's a funny old world.
In Turkey, they call the turkey bird, a çince sülün which translates to Chinese pheasant. A lot of people don't know that.
The Cloggies do a similar thing with oranges. Their word for the colour is the same as ours, but the fruit is 'sinaasappel' - Chinese apple.
In Vietnam do they just refer to them as "pot bellied pigs". Quite remarkable this. How many more can we think of?
Indeed. And Alaska is supposedly a bit on the chilly side (I read this on the back of a matchbox once) so it seems strange to call it "Baked" which would imply a heating process at some juncture in time.
That is true, I noticed that when I was in Amsterdam a couple weeks past. But unlike your fact, I just made mine up randomly.
I think if you entered a Bageri in Denmark which is bakery Mick in Danish and asked for a pastry which is wienerbrød you would be the laughing stock of the village on account of your non specific request.
No. They call it a 'stoofpan' because a Dutch oven is a type of pan, not an oven. During the Anglo-Dutch wars a lot of derogatory expressions of the form 'Dutch ....' entered the English language. They usually imply cheapness or inferior quality.
