Shouldn't the be antiantepode ? ;-P

It's an Austrian word that dates back to Gothic, AFAIK; something like
(k)ra*fa. *f = plosive f (like pf).
(No, the real Goths, 5th century. They are extinct, we still have our
Krapfen ;-P).

A friend and I nearly got thrown out of a café in Thunder Bay Ontario
when a misunderstanding arose over a Persian to go with our coffee. I
turned out that a Persian in Thunder Bay is what is known as a Danish
Pastry in most of the rest of Ontario.

I don't usually order them so I don't know what name applies in the
rest of Canada.
