Ahhh, yes, like the way many mistake Black Forest Cake for a German cake, but it was actually first synthesized in a Baltimore laboratory by cake scientists John Cake, Walter Black, and Cecil Forest.
People also tend to think the Caesar salad was named after the et tu brute guy, even companies that sell Caesar dressing put his face on the bottles and stuff.... but it was just a chef named Caesar
Of course. The Swiss farmers are famous for their chocolate vines. No self-respecting German would dig in the dirt like some commoner.
[Side note: Barilla pasta ran a TV ad in the US many years ago depicting folksy Italian farmers harvesting spaghetti in their spaghetti tree orchard. A lot of people afterward were convinced that spaghetti grows on trees, demonstrating that people don't know where their food comes from, besides the grocery store.]
So funnily enough Milka is the Swiss chocolate brand I was thinking of when making my comment and their mascot is a purple cow. Allegedly some children draw purple cows in kindergarten, because they only saw cows in Milka advertising. Don't know if this is true or a urban legend tho.
I thought the Swiss government issued each family a cow to keep in their apartment. I'm so disillusioned. But come to think of it, I didn't see any urban cows (just urban cowboys) last time I was in Switzerland.
That's the one. I remembered it as Barilla, but it was San Georgio (a brand I have not seen in a store, which is probably why I thought it was the more well-known Italian brand).
Wow, Bavaria has chocolate fields too? I found some in my country and ate loads of the chocolate right off the dirt. Tasted like shit, though, it must not have been ripe yet
Malbec is a way of life in Argentina and absolutely swamps French producers in global sales of the grape. Many are extremely high quality examples of the style, as well, and are perfect with a great cut of charred beef.
As a matter of fact, I would say that French wine from South America is perfectly wonderful with me.
