Quite simple. Many well-known phrases have a country’s name or nationality in them… eg German measles,Danish pastry,Maltese cross. Some may use the country name…Canada Dry,Ulster fry. The challenge is how many different countries you can find a well-known phrase for…(please keep it something we’ll have heard of) You can go for variations eg Siamese/Thai. Can we go round the whole world?You’ve had five starters to help you out…brains begin now 🙂 ---
