[Have](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nds16kijS9w) you tried Hungarian food? They have a goulash, which is very good. Or if you wish a dish that’s Chinese, Somewhere down in Column B there’s Lobster Cantonese. Enchilada, that’s what people eat in Mexico, Shish-kebab is skewered in Armenia you know. Then there’s blubber, The favorite of the frigid Eskimo, Such delicious dishes, no matter where you go. Chicken Cacciatore is Italian, Kangaroo Souffle must be Australian. Mutton chops are definitely British, Chicken soup undoubtedly is Yiddish. Pum per ni ckel Comes from Lithuania. Has sen pfef fer Comes from Pennsylvania. Wienershnitzel’s Austrian or German, Kindly pass the sauerbraten Herman. Borscht is what they’re eating in the Soviet, Wait I think we’ve got some on the stove yet. (spoiled for likely 1950’s offensiveness) See the Mau Maus Underneath the jungle skies. Jolly Mau Maus Eating missionary pies. Frenchmen eat a lot of bouillabaisse there, Dutchmen eat a sauce called Hollandaise there. Smorgasbord in Sweden is the winner, In America it’s TV dinner. Sooo, there you have one food from each land Each one delicious, each one simply grand. Mix them all up in one big mish-mosh, And what have you got? Hungarian Goulash! Hey! ---
