In Dutch we call Doritos with ‘ranch’ flavor, ‘Cool American’ flavor. Do you have any items (food or otherwise) that you call ‘Dutch …’?

  5. We “go Dutch”. When two people go out on a date and they each pay for themselves, we call that “going Dutch”.

  6. We use a ceramic or enameled metal pot when I’m cooking with oil, called a “Dutch oven”. A Dutch oven is also when you fart under a blanket and pull it over your SO’s head.

    “Going Dutch” at a restaurant is when you split the bill.

  8. Oh yes. Dutch doors (top and bottom halves open individually), going Dutch on a date (the cost is divided), Dutch cocoa. Then there are the Amish who, even though they’re of German origin, call everything Dutch.

  9. Dutch babies come to mind. I think they’re at least inspired by Dutch Poffertjes? Also, the Amish people are sometimes called the “Pennsylvania Dutch” (a misnomer since they’re actually Deutsche) so they will sometimes sell foods like “Dutch bread” or “Dutch pastries,” but of course, they aren’t authentically Dutch.

  10. My family does, but they refer to the Pennsylvania Dutch (who aren’t really Dutch at all)

  11. Stroopwafel cookies are sometimes called dutch waffle cookies. There is Dutch Apple Pie (pie with streusel on top instead of a second crust), Also, Gouda cheese is quite popular.

  13. Old Dutch potato chips are the absolute best on earth and I will entertain no challengers.

  16. We generally refer to a house with a gambrel roof as a Dutch colonial.

  18. Dutch apple pie. Apple pie with a crumb streusel topping instead of a pastry top crust or lattice.

  19. In the bay area, there is a type of bread with a crunchy top. We call it “Dutch crunch.”

    Edit: The recipe uses rice flour, not cheese.

  21. In Northern California we eat Dutch crunch bread which is called tiger bread in Europe or tijgerbrood.

  23. Dutch bros coffee, Dutch apple pie (idk what makes it Dutch just heard someone say that a few times)

  24. There is an extremely popular chain of drive-through coffee stands in Oregon called “Dutch Bros. Coffee.” (It even has a windmill for a logo) It’s pretty darn good coffee. They did an “Undercover Boss” episode about the company and the founder doesn’t mention anything about being Dutch. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3295362/

  25. Not food-but we have a specific architectural style in homes called Dutch colonial and Dutch rooflines

  27. There is a breakfast situation at the old pancake house chain called the “Dutch baby.”

    I’m not sure really what to call it because it’s not really a pancake or waffle.

  30. In california, we have Dutch Crunch bread that tastes good, but absolutely tears up the roof of your mouth.

  32. There is double Dutch jump rope, but I’m not sure if the Dutch have anything to do with that…
