     🤔 So let me make sure I have my American food terminology right...

     French Fries - Fried potato slices, not invented in France and using potatoes that come from America

     Chili - A bean dish, served hot

     Hot Dogs - Sausages served on a bun, which are not made with actual dogs

     Salisbury Steak - A ground beef patty, which has nothing to do with Salisbury, England

     Hamburger - A different beef patty, which has nothing to do with the city of Hamburg; also, it is not made with ham

     And now you're telling me that "German chocolate cake" isn't even from Germany??

     What is this world coming to?😵💫
