What foods in your country have the name of another country?

Asked by JLeslie (65420points) July 21st, 2015 from iPhone

In America we have French toast, French fries, French dip, Belgium waffles, Danish for a type of pastry, Swiss cheese, Mongolian beef, Spanish rice, German chocolate cake, and Black Forest cake if we want to count a place that isn’t a country name. Actually, if we extend it to cities and places the list gets very long. London broil, Neapolitan ice cream, chicken Kiev, and on and on. I don’t know if people in those countries even know Americans use those terms, or if the same name is used in the home country? Or, is the name we use in America used by other countries?

I’m really curious to know if other countries name foods after America or American cities that possibly we Americans aren’t even aware of.
