Foods named for travel destinations

Many trips end up with souvenirs that you enjoy edibly long after you return-- Chicken Kiev, Baked Alaska, Hamburgers, Hollandaise sauce, Wiener schnitzel, etc.

One of the Christmas gifts I gave my nephew was a Compendium of Indispensable Facts, a book of random and imminently useful trivia ranging from dance steps to the waltz to the Semaphore alphabet.

One of the lists in this book was a of foods named for places -- perfect for a lazy holiday filled with too much to eat and remotely related to travel and dining. I've added a few more to the original list and I'm sure you can too.

Looking at this list again, I spent far more time on this than planned initially, but it was fun thinking of these places and these foods. Naturally, many more food names can be included if we consider cheeses such as Munster, Stilton, Chimay, etc., and wines naturally linked with regions and towns.

Add any others. The exercise is entertaining. Next plan a trip to dine on the dish in the place from which it derives its name. It seems to be as good a reason to travel as any other.
