The same can be said of the English horn, a double-reed woodwind that originated in Silesia.
The cemetery.
Moscow is fascinating, but I would not call it beautiful. St Petersburg, OTOH, *is *beautiful.
Neither what nor what?
When I was a kid (in England), that’s what the word “muffin” meant to me. Still does, actually, though I concede that their claim to the name has been largely supplanted by the large cupcake-esque thing which is also called a muffin. If you offered my kids a muffin, they’d expect the cake rather than the bread.
Back when I was getting used to candy bars costing a dime instead of a nickle, a Mars Bar was one of my favorites. It had four (count 'em! FOUR!) whole almonds lined up in a little dashed line along the top, the whole thing lovingly enveloped in a milk chocolate coat.
Then, for reasons that I can’t fully recall, I experienced an extended hiatus in my candy bar-buying habits. When I returned, the first Mars Bar I bought was missing those welcoming almond-shaped lumps on their dorsal surface. They still had almonds, but they were merely chopped-up bits and pieces of almonds, haphazardly embedded on top of the nougat. I tried accepting their departure and adopting the new ersatz Mars Bar into my candy bar repertoire*, but it was no good. With deep regret, I dropped the Mars Bar from my personal Candy Bar Fantasy League lineup.
*“Candy Bar Repertoire” would be a good name for a song. Maybe Dave Frishberg could write it, the way he did Van Lingle Mungo, his tour de force consisting of a list exclusively made up of the names of Major League Baseball players of yore.

Snickers Almond has caramel on it; an American Mars bar did not. I hadn’t realized they were discontinued, but apparently they were in 2002, but Wikipedia tells me they have occasionally popped up in limited runs since then. I guess Walmart sold them in 2010 and part of 2011; and now some gourmet subsidiary of Mars has been selling it in their stores and Amazon since 2017, though I only see the UK version on Amazon now, so maybe Wikipedia needs an update.
Huh. Somehow I never noticed their absence.
The sandwich is not named after the Sandwich Islands! 
They were, however, both named after the same person, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.
Throw out your hands!!
Stick out your tush!!
Hands on your hips

You’ll be surprised
You’re doing the French Mistake!!
VOILA!!
Captain America is from Red Hook Brooklyn.
David Letterman once went to several San Francisco restaurants asking on-camera for Rice-A-Roni, “the San Francisco treat,” and was not too surprised when none of them had it on the menu.
Cor anglé (bent horn)
was misheard as
cor anglais (English horn)
I’ve heard that chow mein was invented by Americans.
Rice-A-Roni was invented in San Francisco. It’s not served in restaurants, but then again, neither is Kraft Macaroni and Cheese or Hamburger Helper.
Nor is Omelette norvégienne Norwegian.
The Dutch Cap is a name for the diaphragm or cervical cap barrier method of contraception. Predating that name similar methods have been used for centuries. it’s possible the name came about because Margaret Sanger who popularised the method to the States got the idea in the Netherlands.
Fortune cookies were invented in America (by Asian immigrants).
It sure isn’t the salad. I’d never heard of it before but it doesn’t seem to be something I’d eat.
You’ve never had potato salad? That’s all it is, with some peas and carrot chunks thrown in, and maybe some chunks of ham and/or boiled tongue.
Boiled tongue is actually quite good, especially when it’s sliced very thin and served with a little horseradish.
Thank you for the correction and clarification, and for reminding me how good those old Mars Bars were.
Then again, neither do they mention any particular city in their advertising.
