Europe would not consider canned tomatoes, rice, mayonnaise or black
and golden raisins to be American :-) Or, white vinegar. To us Dijon
French mustard is the famous kind of mustard produced in Dijon, France,
but probably the USA brand Dijon and French is an unrelated recipe.

I've always thought of maple syrup as Canadian.. the pure maple syrup
I buy here, is always Canadian.
