Reply to comment by iTwango in [Homemade] Ratatouille by mrs_catl8dy

I know why it happens. I’m saying in this case it’s a shame. It’s an iconic French dish.

And yes, America has a long history of misnaming things partially due to its historic insularity. Same for Japan. As the planet gets smaller, and cultures become more familiar and known, here’s hoping misnaming other countries stuff for the hell of it eventually comes to an end.

If it becomes culturally known as that in another culture, it's just kinda unnecessary to correct it.

Like the fact that corn dogs are called "American Dogs" in Japan. This style of dish was popularised by the Disney movie in the US, and was called Ratatouille in the film. So that's what a lot of people call it. Names change.

My GF made these for Christmas Eve. Absolutely amazing. At some point in the future, she's going to do the core recipe again, as cinnamon rolls.
