Again, not a city, but there’s California Roll…aka sushi for wimps. ---

Aren’t there lots of cheeses named after cities? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Thudlow Boink \* > \*\*Aren’t there lots of cheeses named after cities? \*\* Well, I already mentioned Edam, Gouda, Gruyère and Roquefort, **catnoe** mentioned Parmigiano and **Antonius Block** gave you Caerphilly, Leicester and Monterey Jack. Most of them do seem to be named after counties or regions, not cities, and it’s debatable whether some are named after a city or a regional capital (Red Leicester is technically named after the county of Leicestershire for instance). But you could also have Stilton, Sage Derby, Cheddar and Double Gloucester for example, and Gorgonzola, Jarlsberg, Limburger, Camembert, Fontainebleau and various varieties of Brie such as Brie de Meaux or Brie de Melun (Brie is a region). No doubt there are more. ---

Coney Island Hot dogs, which are actually more popular in Detroit than in Coney Island. You can’t fire a handgun in this city without hitting a Coney Island Restaurant. ---

Copper River Salmon. We always call Worstershire sauce Where’s the sauce? ---

I was much perplexed until I realized that smoked meat here is not a variety of the smoked meat with which you are familiar. Also you couldn’t get what you regarded as Proper Iced Tea. 🙂 \*\* Hrm… that helps. Yes, I do recall it a bit. 😃 As for iced tea, well a _proper_ iced tea can’t be hand north of the Mason-Dixon line! 😃 I guess I was so overwhelmed by the charms of both you and Montreal, I wasn’t thinking too well! 😉 ---

Champagne’s a region not a city. Plenty of other wines are named after regions. ---

Ok, how about this? Let’s say we limit it to food. I never even thought about all the wine and beer named after cities. Cheese is another area that I overlooked. While we could name numerous varieties of municipality evocative cheeses, let’s stick with prepared dishes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/eat-my-city/164826.md?page=2)
