The interesting part is that "Italian dressing" is purely a US
invention. "Italian dressing" is not to be found in Italy (or any real
Italian restaurant).

We have a couple good local Italian joints (not fancy pants just good
family food) where the owners pride themselves in authentic cooking
/presentation. It is interesting to bring somewhere there and watch them
specify "Italian dressing" and the waitress puts a wire tray with
vinegar and oil on the table and they complain that they asked for
"Italian dressing" only to be told it is on the table.
