Seven Common Culinary Misconceptions
1. Moussaka is a dish based on layers of eggplant, chopped mutton and onions, not the music played in elevators.
2. Ratatouille is a vegetable ragout, not a pair of French rodents.
3. Weiner Schnitzel is a thin piece of breadcrumbed veal, not an Austrian police informer.
4. Souvlakia is a dish of skewered kidneys with tomatoes and peppers, not something you bring home from holidays.
5. Nouvelle Cuisine is a movement in cookery started in the early 1970s aimed at encouraging simple and natural presentation of food, not what you get when your French aunt and uncle have a baby.
6. Baba Gannoj is an eggplant puree, not the sound a Russia makes when sneezing.
7. Gazpacho is a classic cold soup, not a temporary repair job on a leaky pipe.
