Foods that aren’t from the countries they appear to be from

" A New York resident has filed a class-action lawsuit against King’s Hawaiian for not actually making its rolls in Hawaii.

Robert Galinsky claims that he was misled into buying the rolls, Hawaii News Now.

He notes that the back of the label indicates the product is made in California, but the front of the packaging features “Hilo, Hawaii,” which could make people think the bread was made there"

Can I start a class action suit for ‘Danish Pastries’ not actually made in Denmark?

Or Belgian waffles not made in Belgium!

Losers!
I am going to sue MC Donald’s over their French-fries.

Those are really French though. They’re French fries

No, they are ‘frenched’.

Belgian waffles don’t exist!

English muffins not made in England
California rolls not made in California
New York Bagels not made in New York

Hamburgers don’t come from Hamburg.

Cleveland Steamers don’t just come from Cleveland but can happen anywhere.

Not with me around anyway.

They do exist but not in North Korea, Tuvalu, Tajikistan and Belgium.

Only China makes hot dogs from dogs.

How about mooncakes not made on the moon?

I remember a famous Parisan bakery got caught using pre made baked stuff from China.

French fries and French toast aren’t French.

Pretty sure they French kiss in France though. :wink:

I feel sorry for foods (sic), claiming to be from countries they aren’t from. Inanimate objects attempting sentience is, I suppose, evolution of a sort, but they should wait it out for a few hundred thousand years, instead of jumping the gun.

It isn’t the most artful title, I admit (although ‘food’ can be pluralized). A bit hungover from festivities. I just felt ‘Just Weird!’ didn’t really tell us anything about this thread, but @Belgian_Pie can change it to something else or change it back.

Wait… is “Belgian Pie” even from Belgium? :thinking:

He is. I can attest to it. I understand his Flemish when he replies to my Afrikaans.

Wow, I haven’t thought about King’s Hawaiian bread for a long time–during my junior high school years I lived right around the corner from the bakery. Yeah, it’s in Torrance (California), but even at that young age I knew “Hawaiian” probably meant Hawaiian style/recipe. Torrance also has (had?) a large population of Asian-Americans, so a Hawaiian native might have started the company as well. People will sue for anything.

Indeed it can, but it still grates my scrotum. Much like twits who say “Let’s get a coffee”.

I :tent:ing hate coffee. But I dislike it a little less as a non-count noun.
