You had me thinking the country they were nick named was a regional
thing.

The one I like is Danish pastries are called Austrian pastries in
Denmark. I want to learn about that in person someday. Never mind
how Europeans (and those were once under European dominance) can't
call normal foods like cookies, potato chips and (french) fries what
they *should* be called. Biscuits, crisps and chips? Why did you
serve me *that*??? LOL!
