A friend and I nearly got thrown out of a café in Thunder Bay Ontario
when a misunderstanding arose over a Persian to go with our coffee. I
turned out that a Persian in Thunder Bay is what is known as a Danish
Pastry in most of the rest of Ontario.

I don't usually order them so I don't know what name applies in the
rest of Canada.
