While not exactly a watershed-related question, it does raise questions about the many things we take for granted in the local watersheds we inhabit. What appears familiar and normal to “old eyes” can seem strange and exotic to someone brand new.

Although apparently not in the Dutch speaking half.

They call them french fries for a reason
i.e., the language, not the country!
