Country of Origin
Posted by Dan | Jun 11th, 2023 - 8:16pm
The world is full of amazing inventions that have helped shape our lives and have perhaps become iconic of their associated countries, but just because they are linked to a specific place does not mean they came from there. Some of these are more tricky than you might think, and your preconceived idea of their country of origin may not quite line up with where they actually come from...
Now onto an icon of an era of the great westward expansion, but from where did the concept of Cowboys originate?
A great treat to round out any meal, or eat a whole one as a meal in its own right, the Cheesecake is loved by many - but where is it from?
Onto a controversial one, chunks of ham accompany juicy pieces of pineapple atop bread, cheese and tomato sauce to create the world-dividing Hawaiian Pizza, but where was it invented?
The Piñata is an icon of birthday parties, particularly in the Americas - where did it originate?
Fermented cabbage may sound strange to some, but Sauerkraut has great flavours that complement many dishes. Where did it come from?
Hopefully, some of you are already familiar with Chinese Chequers, a strategy game for up to 6 players where you race to get all your pieces home, but from where did it originate?
This icon of a trip to an Indian restaurant is a favourite around the world, the Chicken Tikka Masala. Where was it invented?
You can't beat a good day out, especially if you spend most of it at a Pub. But where did the Pub originate from?
Transportation comes in many shapes and sizes, but the one that most people encounter at least once in their life is the Bicycle. Its original incarnation, or the closest thing to it, was known as the Dandy Horse - where did it come from?
