Is there a food named after the part of the world you are from?
Well, Edam, Gouda, Limburger. Yeah mostly cheeses.
Wiener Schnitzel
American Cheese
I live in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area instead of downtown Philadelphia, but I think that the Philadelphia cheesesteak is the only food I can think about at the moment.
You're always being irritated by settlements named new town/city, eh?
The Latin name of Cartagena, Spain is Carthago nova, meaning New Carthage. In Phoenician the meaning of Tyre's colony was New city. There's a Cartagena in Colombia as well, named after the one in Spain so technically it's the New New New City
"Residents of the city of Hamburg actually created the concept... thanks to seeing people in Asia doing it." So, no, they didn't create the concept??
Maybe it wasn’t directly the same method, different enough to be a new creation? Or maybe it was a joke, I don’t know.
I legit came to the comments to write this. 🤣
I have lived 5 years in Chennai and have never heard the Madras Curry until I came to the UK. Lol. 😂
I didnt knew the city of Beijing was that HUGE holy shit it covers HALF OF EURASIA
According to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary of English Place-names by Ekwall, the first recorded form of Cheddar is Ceodre, related to Old English Ceod, meaning a pouch. They theorise it comes from a reference to Cheddar Gorge. Similar to the suggested Sanskrit, but a bit more local.
Madras! Portuguese named the early settlement "Mãe de Deus" which translates to Mother of God. When the French took over the place they called "Mère de Dieu" and the pronunciation further deformed when the English took over the settlement and became Madras. Btw it is not only the old name of Chennai but it is also the old name of Tamil Nadu (Madras Presidency) of which the city of Madras/Chennai is the capital.
I wonder what the oldest (and thus, least accurate) place name with "New" in it is.
Napoli may be a contender.
New Super Mario Bros.
Carthago
@@BiglerSakura Carthago? Is that, like, New Carthage or something?
@@kyleward3914 Carthago (Carthage in English) means "new city" in Punic.
I didn't know that another name for islands in Spanish is "Cayo". I was taught the word "Isla" and have exclusively heard them called referred to as such. Interesting!
My German dad would often make French toast when my little cousins would visit, so for years they called it German toast.
In Argentina it's quite common for us to eat "Milanesas", which means "From Milan". It's delicious.
In my dialect, calabrese, we use "purtuallu" to say orange. That's because it was said the Spanish, our master at the time, used to buy their oranges from the Portuguese, and thus we started to call them "purtualli"
In Arabic orange is burtuqal which is also derived from the word Portugal
Surprised/disappointed no mention of parmesan cheese, after Parma, Italy.
Talking of cheese - I lived in Gruyere, on the outskirts of Melbourne. It was named after the cheese which, I think, was named after a place.
And I agree about "New Town".
Gruyere/Greierz is a region in Switzerland.
I've been to Cheddar before.
Never knew about the town.
Cantaloupe melons were named after a commune in Italy, Cantaloupo. and the name means "Wolf Song"
Never knew that, nor tangerines came from Tangiers.
The perfect video to watch with my lunch :) .
That’s it I’m moving to cheddar
Pretty sure tikka masala was created in Glasgow 🤔
Old joke - Man in farmhouse kitchen , points to hams hanging from hooks in the ceiling and asks" Is that your Ayrshire Bacon?" Other man standing in front of fire says -" No I'm just warming my hands". ( Erse you're baking)
07:40 in continental Europe, most cities have an 'old town' from the middle ages and 'new town' which, whilst newer, often are quite old too
Is this on the ,british islands' not the case?
Unless I missed you mentioning it, American's love buffalo wings which are a way to cook fried chicken wings originating in Buffalo, NY and not because they are made from buffalo meat.
Two bits of trivia:
There's a small city in Ohio called Lima, pronounced like the bean, not the Peruvian city.
Madras, pronounced MAD-ras, also was a fabric popular with "surfers" back in the 60s. It was characterized by a small striped or tartan-like pattern and un-fixed dyes, so the colors would " bleed". Check any Beach Boys or Jan and Dean album cover from that period.
Lima, Ohio is the setting for the TV show “Glee”.
Why yes, french toast was invented by Joseph French (probably)
did he also create french fries
We germans know, that a Mr. Brat invented Bratwurst, Bratkartoffeln and Bratpfanne. ;-)
If he was an ancient Roman, then sure.
Doesn't sound like a Roman name though.
@@jamesbradleysears7188 : My comment is only a very old german joke!
I was not referring to "Mr. Brat", I knew that was a joke.
to go with the Neapolitan Ice-Cream, you forgot to mention the Neapolitan (Napolitan) sauce, the famous tomato-based sauce that serves as a standard topping on pizza, which also originates from Naples, Italy. Spaghetti Bolognese is another famous example. Though it originates from the Italian town of Bologna, in Italy it's actually called ragu. Another famous cheese you could've mentioned is Parmigiano-Reggiano, or better known by it's anglicized name "parmesan". named after the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Bologna, Modena and Mantua. Parmigiano is an adjective for Parma and Reggio Emilia (Reggiano)
In Belgium and France we call French toast pain perdue, translated is that lost bread.
In the USA they call a stinky cheese Limburger, I think they call it after the Belgen province or city. I think they refer to the cheese we call her Herve that made in a little town with that name in the Ardennen.
Limburger cheese is also in Germany known under this name ( or as ,Backsteinkäse/ brick cheese).
Beemster cheese = cheese from the Dutch Beemster region
Amstel beer = named after the Amstel river, after which Amsterdam ("Dam in the Amstel") is named, too
Let's go i live in cheddar and like the cheese 🧀
I thought he was gonna do Gouda..
@@Pindasaus isn't that in the Netherlands. Nice place
I never knew there was a town named Cheddar in England.
@@emilymalden3310 you learn something new everyday. defo visit id say to anyone, alone for the caves and gorge. There are nice shops as we'll
In romania we have some pretzels with honey, sirup, and nutmeg and we call them "polonez" which means polish
Talking cheese, I live near Colby WI where Colby cheese was invented.
A confusing one is "Peking ribs". It actually comes from Jiangsu, where the old capital of Nanjing was. When the capital moved, the name of the food changed in many Chinese diaspora.
Do beverages next please :D
I know that the country wasn’t named after it, but we obviously all can’t forget about Turkey.
The food was (sorta) named after the country tho. Adam ragusea did a video on it
The bird was named after the country, despite being native to North America.
City names that just mean "New Town" are annoying because they're so common you get the population of half of europe if you just add up everyone in every Neustadt, Novigrad, Novgorod, Villeneuve, etc.
also Cartagena (derived from Carthago)
Wiener also comes from a city: Vienna
Also Wienerschnitzel, yum!
an idea for another video: same town names in different countries (like Vienna/Wien (Austria), Vienna (Virginia), Vienne (France))
Fun fact: the nickname for male genitals & hod dog sausages, "wiener" come from the German demonym for Vienna.
@@modmaker7617 so they’re dicks?
@@jcxkzhgco3050
Apparently in English
There's a giant engraved plaque in the city centre of Berne with a list of places all over the world named after Bern. Do you have something like that as well? If you're in Vienna, I mean. Or some other place that could have something like that.
@@camelopardalis84 I live near Vienna, but I don't know such a plaque or a similar thing in the city
What about a video on the similarities between Zambia and Zimbabwe
Patrick, I hope you can make a video about the name “Leopold”. My name is Leopold and I wanna know more about its meaning. Thanks!
No, your first name is doomsday
Your topics on food are making me...
*HUNGARY! 🇭🇺*
There are lots lots more. You could probably do a longer video or parts two, three etc.
Here are a couple that come to the top of my head: habanero means from Havana. Jodhpur is a type of riding trouser and gets its name from Jodhpur/Jaipur India.
I can't get enough of it!
Similar to French toast is German chocolate cake, which was not from Germany, but was invented by a man named German.
Neapolitanean icecream? In Germany i know it as the "Fürst Pückler" ice mix, since duke (?) Pückler centuries ago did not only design garden parks, but also ice cream.
Fürst Pückler- Muskau ,lived in late 18th century and first half of 19th century. He was Fürst no duke, the first word is his rank. He was well known as a fine, educated gentleman who liked fine food and gardens. In his time he was known as garden and park designer.
@@brittakriep2938 i could not describe him better. Thanks! 😄
@@grafgeo9194 : The Fürst Pückler icecream was very popular in second german empire, the national flag was ,Black White Red', so Brown White Red icecream looked similar . This i have forgotten in first comment.
About the Sanskrit word "chaddar", I think they mean it is cognate with the word Cheddar, that is, both words had the same Proto-Indo-European origin. The word Cheddar doesn't _come_ from Sanskrit.
My favorite food name story is French fries - which were invented in a french-speaking part of BELGIUM, and the American soldiers assumed that they were in France because the natives were speaking French so they called it French fries
Sebastian Cabot played the butler Mr. French in the 1960's/70's TV show "A Family Affair". Too bad French toast wasn't named after him! 😊
Could you do a cheese names video in the future, where you explain the origins of different cheese names
i need this
@@jamespigeon1399 I need it to be one in which there's not simple "Swiss Cheese" followed by a "Now let's go to the next country".
Okay, so I'm disappointed that the Bakewell tart isn't named after a local woman with an old profession.
We are blessed to have such a godly creation like the key lime pie on this planet
my favorite pie. The meringue, tartness, and the graham-cracker crust is the perfect combo
I'll have to do some research, but I found the explanation for tangerines a bit odd (even if it's completely logical). In spanish, we call them "mandarinas", and we've always assumed it came from the mandarin language. I dunno, weird.
Great as always, keep it up!
Mandarin is also the word in English. Tangerines are a variety of mandarins along with clementines and satsumas. And yes the name does refer to China.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_orange#Etymology
Utica, from where we have never heard of steamed hams, has TONS of local cuisine that one can only find in Utica. Chicken riggies, turkey joints, tomato pie, Utica Greens, giambotti, pusties, halfmoons, and the nexus of good chicken wings from Buffalo and good pizza from NYC. You can't eat any of these things outside Utica.
It's a Albany expression
Hot dogs are also called wieners, which is a reference to the city of Vienna. In English you'd say "Viennese". It's funny that hot dogs are associated with two different cities. I never really stopped to think about that.
Where is a hot dog called wiener? At least in German Wiener is only a type of sausage (like Frankfurter) which can be part of a hot dog, but is often used in other dishes too.
Cheddar comes from the old English "ceodor" meaning "ravine".
9:37 *kah-yoh
cool live in Lima and didnt know lima beans came from here, of course in Peru they call them pallares.
also we hav a diferent french bread, just a kind of breaad common in bakeries, nothing to do with France either same for parmisan scallops maybe there could b a video of food named after places they have no relation to lol
Not sure how widespread it is, but here in Michigan (US state that looks like a mitten) it's common to refer to hamburgers as simply hamburgs. Some brief research shows this has been the case for at least a hundred years, as a restaurant named Kewpee Hotel Hamburgs was founded in the city of Flint in 1923.
And them we have the oposite since Brazil was named after a tree (not a food but close enough)
And Cameroon, named after the portuguese word for shrimp
Hamburg >< Milan
Having people with food names
Tangerines being pretty commonplace around the world ...
I know of quite a lot of countries/languages that use a variation of "mandarines" instead.
Would be interesting to see a world map of which countries use which word ^^
8:51 editing error
I’ve seen this one!
"steamed hams"
*Ah I see you're a man of culture as well*
French toast in Sweden is called Poor Knights, fattiga riddare and we even have a dish called Rich Knights, Rika riddare , also made with left over bread.
Har vi? Det visste jag inte, jag har aldrig hört talas om "rika riddare", hur gör man sådana?
@@totompa81 Moderna recept är det samma som Amerikanska French toast men äldre böcker dvs 1990 och äldre är det detta: Torrt skivad vetelängd eller franskbröd, bred skivorna med smör, strö över socker och kanel och hackade nötter eller pärlsocker om du så haver, Gratinera i övre delen av ugnen i 250C ca 4- 6 min, tills gyllene. Servera till te eller kaffe.
@@hannayoung9657 Hmm, det måste jag testa någon gång🙂😋
Dessutom verkar både de fattiga och de rika riddarna var ett bra sätt att ta vara på bröd som blivit torrt🙂👍🏻
@@totompa81 Och rika riddare användes mer av vetelängder, äter folk det idag? Man kan dela en torr gammal kanelbulle och göra det samma.
In Germany also ,Arme Ritter' exist, but even i am german, i only know the name, have never seen this.
Wieners translate to Vienna-ers and they come from vienna, the only reason we call them “hot dogs” in the states is because we thought the German immigrants were using dog meat
The Online Etymology Dictionary (shame on you, Patrick, for apparently not knowing about it) claims that Cheddar gets its name from Old English "ceodor," meaning "ravine" or "gorge." You unintentionally got pretty close to the real origin lol
Fun fact: Hawaiian Pizza, despite its name, did not come from Hawaii, but from Ontario, Canada.
What about Californian pizza?
Here's an interesting one. A particular type of road confluence / merger gets its name from a food which gets its name from a city.
*wiki "The triangles created in country lanes where three lanes meet derive their names from the Coventry God Cake. A triangle is created by the passing of farm vehicles, originally horse drawn carts, as they turn. The so-called "god cakes", which are not particular to any one city or county, take their name from these triangular pastries."
Coventry God cakes were triangle pastry with mince meat. Given by children to their God parants on new years in return for blessings / gifts. Aparantly named so as it's a Coventry thing.
I never knew French toast was named after a person.
8:52
deja vu!
There are a whole lot of other foods named after places. You should make series out of this video.
In Germany: Frankfurter Würstchen, Regensburger Würstchen, Fränkische Bratwurst,Thüringer Bratwurst, Königsberger Klopse, Eberswalder Spritzkuchen, Nürnberger Lebkuchen, Aachener Printen, Lübecker Marzipan, Danziger Goldwasser, Gaisburger Marsch, Harzer Roller... Surely there are in every country food/dishes named after a town or region , and often only localy known.
0:23 Despite the fact they are obviously grilled.
Whay about sriracha from the town sriracha in thailand
When I saw the picture of a tangerine, I was certain we were gonna get the trifecta of place/food/color names related to one another. The most prominent explanation I've seen is that the color is named after the fruit which may or may not be named after the place.
I approve
That was so fun!
Here's kind of the opposite, but following the trend of French toast, a lot of people think German chocolate cake is named after the country, but it's actually named after a guy whose name was German.
Also, another fairly obvious one is Black Forest Cake, sometimes called Black Forest torte, which is obviously named after the Black Forest region
I guess you could also extrapolate that to Black Forest gummies if you wanted to
The turkey bird is also named after the country of Turkey
In Germany it is only called Schwarzwälder Torte, so you are wrong ;-)
tangerine is called mandariini in Finnish :)
Prkl
In Greek too, we call it mandarini. It seems that tangerine is a mandarin variety. Mandarins come from China and there is an obvious connection with this and the mandarin language. How did he miss this fact?
@0:38 Isn't it called Greek delight?
Is Lima came from Rimma is there an Ace Lima?
Portuguese water dog is the one for Portugal
that's food?
@@rlmartinez26 haven't you ever eaten dog?
China approves.
The realm of alcohol has a bunch of spirits/wines/beers/etc that are related to their areas of production. The go-to example is champagne (which most people are aware of), but another which people might not realize is tequila (named after the city of Tequila in the Mexican state of Jalisco. It needs to be produced and bottled in Jalisco in order to be called tequila)
Attention! The Champagner is made of wineberries, which grow in many parts of the world. The same drink , but made in other regions of France is called Cremant . In Germany this drink is also made, we call it Sekt or Schaumwein. In other countries it is called different.
8:00 Soooo... Sounds like they DIDN'T create the concept, then. Rather, they adopted it from the people in Asia that likely created it...
What about edamer cheese?
Swiss Cheese is also known as Emmental ehe-
Really?? I didn't know they were the same thing!
@@sohopedeco Yes.
What about Gruyère? Is it a type of cheese or a brand? In Greece we call similar types of cheese graviera which derives from the word gruyère.
He could have included it in this video. Anyone who has watched curling has to know this cheese :D
@@stevierv22 Gruyère/Greyerzer and Emmentaler are both types of cheese. But legally speaking, at least one of them must also be a brand, I'm 99 % sure of that. By "types of cheese" I mean the kind of difference there is between Brie and Cheddar. (Just in case you meant something else.) Gruyère is a cheese I like very much and Emmentaler is about the second worst (Swiss) cheese I know.
@@camelopardalis84 Yes emmental doesn't have much taste so i get why it would be on your worst list :)
I only know Gruyère Switzerland from the commercial during curling matches xD
Hi
I've not seen a Tangerine in the UK shops for years, they are normally Satsumas.
in croatia besides neapolitan icecream, we also have these chocolate wafers called "napolitanke" which funnily enough are of austrian origin. Their name comes from where the hazelnuts are imported from, those too being from napples!
Naples?
I, Giorno Giovanna have a three-flavored ice cream.
3:50 Let’s get a tarte further...
Is Orange named after the dominion of Orange in France and Netherlands? What about the town of Orange and the county of Orange?
Orange (colour) and Orange (fruit) are named after the French word for the fruit (pomme d'orange), 'orange' being based on Arabic (nāranj), which in turn is taken from Persian (naarang), derived from Sanskrit (nāraṅga), with its earliest known roots in a Dravidian language (narandam) meaning 'bitter orange (colour)'. Interestingly, the colour is named after the fruit that was named after the colour.
Before the fruit's name came into use for the colour, much of Europe used a variation of "yellow-red" in their respective languages. Iberians were the first to introduce the Indian word to Europe, they still use the Sanskrit "naranja" (Spain) and "laranja" (Portuguese) today for both the colour and fruit. Most non-South Asian languages use the French derivative though.
The town of Orange in France has an unrelated etymology, originallly having been named Arausio after a local Celtic water god. The county of Orange is subsequently named after the town. The House of Orange-Nassau is named after the county/Principality of Orange and the Duchy of Nassau.
@@Die__Ene There is also Orange in Australia
*Insert James May cheese compilation here*
Another kind of sausage is called wiener after the German name for Vienna, Wien.
What about gobi manchurian tho
You mentioned frankfurters, but there's another name for hot dogs, wiener, which I believe comes from Vienna sausage.
Mmm countrys
In Italian tangerine is “mandarino”. If to you it looks like “mandarin” it’s because it also means that. That’s because the word “mandarino” comes from Sanskrit “mantrin” meaning “advisor”. Tangerines are orange, just like the Chinese emperor’s advisors’ tunics!
I wonder what country belgian waffles comes from
6:31 In Portuguese, Madras is "Madrasta", which also means "stepmother".
What's with French fries? I thought I heard the French call them "Belgian fries".
Curry is yummy😋
What Anglophones call Swiss cheese is usually Emmental named after valley of its origin.
Anglophones got the worst type of cheese from Switzerland.
The cheese is also known in Germany as Emmentaler ( we also speak german :-)). Taste is a difficult thing, because a food someone likes, is perhaps not liked by another person, so i never would say , this brand of ....' is bad, but i would say, i don' t like this brand of...
So the jalapeño has Nahuatl origin not Spanish
Also the city of Jalapa gave its name to a US slang word. In the early years of the auto industry, used cars traded in by buyers of new cars which were barely drivable but too worn out to be sold in the US were shipped in bulk to Mexico. The most popular port of entry in Mexico was Jalapa, which was stenciled on the crates containing those cars. American loading crews who didn’t read Spanish misread the city’s name as Jalapa (with the English J sound). In time the spelling of this name, applied to cars so worn out that only Mexican dealers could sell them, was changed to “jalopy,” and referred to any car which was old and in poor repair, even while it was still being used in the US.
The Key lime is yellow, not green like other limes, so the famous Florida dessert of Key Lime Pie should have yellow filling if authentic. Cooks and companies who don’t know this will often use other kinds of limes (such as the popular Persian limes), so that customers who don’t know about the yellow Key lime (mostly outside of Florida) will not confuse them with lemon pies!
A small town named Vidalia (pronounced to rhyme with “I fail ya”) in South Georgia (near Florida) bred a variety of onion which is actually a bit sweet, because of the chemistry of the soil in the area. Onion lovers claim that they can bite into a genuine Vidalia onion like biting into an apple.
