i've never seen an Orange rodian before.
When I was growing up it was known as an Empire Biscuit, but as that's not PC any more it's either just an iced fancy or a Belgian biscuit again (presumably because we've managed to insult everyone else since)

'cause Americans had to rename Frankfurters during one of the World Wars so there weren't any Germanic names. Hamburgers survived however. A more recent attempt at this samephenomenon can be seen as some Americans decided that French Fries (chips to the folks in the UK) needed to be named "Freedom Fries" as they wanted to boycott French things. Meh. I believe it was noted that these frankfurters looked awfully like Schnausers (a german dog) and the name was decided upon.

Actually, the hamburger was renamed the'liberty sandwich' at around the same time (and I think it was the second world war). Hot dog stuck (who says frankfurter anymore?), butliberty sandwich did not. Why? I imagine because it sounds unbelievably stupid, even more so than hot dog.
Then again, this is the nation where the deep-fried twinkie was born, so anything goes.
Speaking of communist revolutionaries, I heard that the mountaineer's pick used to murder Trotsky has been found.
