It's Friday, so maybe you want to have a more festive lunch, fun weekend dinner and party with friends.

So let's pick up some food that has been misnamed, leading you to believe origins about it that aren't actually the case.

So, welcome to the Council of Trent podcast.

Mondays and Wednesdays, we talk apologetics and theology, but on Friday we talk about

whatever I feel like talking about and I'm hungry. I'm kind of hungry. So let's jump into it. I'm going to share with you nine food items whose names have probably led to misleading, misleading you about their origins.

Okay, so here's the first one, German chocolate cake.

And for a long time, probably like you, dear listener,

I thought this was a chocolate cake from Germany,

because Germans love their pastries. It just reminds when you look at

German chocolate cake you think yes if I stumbled across a quaint little cottage in

Bavaria there would be a kindly older woman there who would give me

this German chocolate cake to then fatten me up, to put me into an oven along with Hansul and Gretel,

or something like that.

But when I look at it, it does scream Bavarian to me.

So German chocolate cake, it has the semi-sweet chocolate outside.

What makes it unique are that the topping is kind of like a coconut pecan sort of

mash on the top usually decorated with maricino cherries around it. So German

chocolate it's also very rich it's a rich chocolate cake and you

think yeah clearly it's you know it's just cake from Germany right you would be wrong

dear sir here is the actual history of German chocolate cake.

In 1957, there was a recipe for German's chocolate cake.

That's a trick, not German, German's chocolate cake. It's a name.
