These burning questions must be answered! Neb has already answered two for me.
A cheese danish in Denmark is called a cream cake or "Flødekager" and french frys are "Pommes frites" Now someone must tell me the names of these in their native lands... English Muffin Canadian Bacon Polish sausage and um.....German potato salad [img]tongue.gif[/img] Feel free to add to the list [ 11-20-2002, 06:16 AM: Message edited by: caleb ] |

Sorry for nitpicking but Flødekager is plural. So its a Flødekage.

Atually, bacon would be referred to as:
Lard Canadien (that's right, lard [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) in French Bacon in English [img]tongue.gif[/img]
