Sprouts.
What do you call Brazil nuts in Brazil?
Nuts.
What do you call Belgian waffles in Belgium?

...Und so weiter.

...and I suppose Venetian Blinds in Venice are just "Blinds"? Why..I think this may have been the greatest caper of all time! We've been hoodwinked!...We've been bamboozled!
And on this site, Cheese Blintzes are just... Blintzes.
A boomerang that won't come back?
