       Some food names that include a region name do come from that region. Others don’t! https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/food-names-that-are-totally-fake

       @grammargirl Interesting, but the section on Key Lime pies is I think misleading. Yes, most limes grown in the US are Tahitian, and yes, it's often the case that restaurant Key Lime pies are not made with Key Limes, but Key Limes are still a thing and taste different. Key: if the filling is green, it's not Key Lime.

       @grammargirl Oh thanks! I knew that French Fries weren't French (thanks early '00s jingoism), but didn't know how they'd gotten the name.

       @SteveLionel On rereading it, I'm OK with it. We say that the pies were originally made from Key limes, and it's in the section titled "foods whose names could be accurate or could be misleading." We never said Key limes aren't a real thing.
