"Swiss steak" isn't actually Swiss at all. It's an American dish! The
"Swiss" part of the name refers to a cooking technique called
"swissing," which involves pounding or tenderizing meat to make it
softer. In Swiss steak, tougher cuts of beef (often round steak) are
pounded, dredged in flour, and then braised in a tomato-based sauce.

Maybe a Dutch oven has nothing to do with The Netherlands, but is a
device that dutches your food.

There's a host of a television renovation show that is such a bag of
hair, they were talking about Dutch doors and he claimed he once visited
the country "Dutch".  I have no idea why the editors left that in.

Hahaha. When I went to open an Australian bank account for the first
time, the lady said to me: "So you're Dutch. Does that mean you're
from Dutchland?" :)

But I can understand it's confusing: Dutch, Holland, Netherlands, all
roughly the same thing. And then in German: "Deutsch" (German) and
"Deutschland" (Germany).
