It was a fun Feud, Dolores, even if it did make me hungry, thinking of all that food. Thanks to you and **Queen Tonya **for a good one!
I remember back in the old days when I was in competition with Worm and Otakuloki. Now I have moved on. Sad for them.
I shall remind you of that, gonzomax, the next time you’re having pie in the basement.
I’m just so happy I didn’t follow the tanking at your own feud tradition, whew!
Thanks to our lovely feudmasterRebo, as always.
It’s weird how the hardest two to answer were the two countries I’ve lived in for a long period of time.
EDIT: DOH! I thought I’d be too late, but some threads have had 70+ responses without being finished before…
Wow! ::blinks:: Thanks! I guess I’m an armchair traveler. >>goes off for an English muffin>>
Erm… What the hell are Dutch ovens, Dutch cleansers, Dutch rabbits and Dutch Waggenbachs? And do people really associate chocolate and apple pie with Holland? We produce no such things as far as I can tell.
Might people be thinking of things that are assosiated with the Pensylvania Dutch?
(but I do know you have dykes, clogs and windmills - one of which I used)
Dutch apple pie is apple pie with a delicious crumbly topping, as opposed to a regular crust top.
Dutch ovens are a type of heavy-duty cooking pot with a lid. Commonly made of cast iron, often used in camping.
The rabbits are just a breed of rabbit, dunno why they’re called that. And Dutch Wagenbach is the name of a television show character on a cop show. Old Dutch Cleanser was a brand name of scouring powder I think, AFAIK it hasn’t been made in years.
So what do you all call American that we’d be confused about?
I saw “American” salad dressing at a store in Belgium once. Unfortunately, I didn’t buy it so I can’t tell you what it was.
When I used to tend bar, I was once asked for a Whiskey American, which is whiskey and “dry ginger”… ginger ale sufficed.
Well, for starters, pretty much every development in politics or the economy is referred to as ‘Americanization’ regardless of whether this developments actually makes us more like America or whether the US had anything to do with this development. Other than that, though, nothing springs to mind as far as the Dutch language is concerned (except that steak tartare is referred to as filet américain, but that’s French so that would be cheating), but I do know that the Russian word for rollercoaster is ‘American mountains’ (Американские горки -Amerikanskiye Gorki). Intriguingly, the wikipediaon roller coasters tells us that the first roller coasters are argued to have started in Russia or at least to haven been referred to as ‘Russian mountains’ in early 19th century France.
AIUI for historically long period Holland (or precisely Dutch companies) had a monopoly on high grade cocoa production. So, while Holland didn’t grow any cocoa, the best chocolate was coming from Holland, and later simply Dutch companies.
Hence the reason I went with Dutch Chocolate.
But my idea of what might be common knowledge is seriously skewed.
