If a bake French Bread in America, it doesn't suddenly become American Bread. It may be Made-In-America bread but it's still French Bread. No one even thinks twice about this. This isn't even specific to bread or even food. Toyota has a factory in Kentucky. It's still a Japanese car, it's just made in America. Video games are the only thing where there's a weird disagreement over it and I don't really get it. I don't see the disagreement come up as often with food, but when people put a regional distinction on something like ramen, or bread, or whatever & they're putting their spin on it; you do see the "a southern spin on an eastern treat" & stuff like that. But I don't think people ever consider it not a regional food relative to the country of origin yeah <cite>notforremnant posted [p:979958332] in What makes...
