Do you have a specific name for a foreign food in your language?

In my slavic country, the first instant ramen noodles came from a company called Wifon, ever since then any and all instant noodles are called wifonka(singular). We dont rinse the salty broth, nor do we add eggy or meat, we just top off the contents of the packet into a bowl and have a noodle soup.

in the US this is the brand of instant noodles that everybody recognizes. Because this particular product with the foam cup is called Cup Noodles, everybody I know refers to any instant raman in a cup as cup noodles, or cup o' noodles.

a blatant lie. nobody calls them that. they are always called "zupka chińska" (a 'chinese soup') regardless of the producer.

Rinse? As in rinse with water? Do you think there are people who actually do that?
Or do you just mean drain? Because even so, most sane people eat the noodles with the broth.

Slovakia? Or do Czechs call it that way too?
Anyway, it’s loser food unless you’re a broke student.

No but we have reverse: Foreign kebab and pizza places all call their generic cheap blue cheeses as "aurajuusto" (aura cheese) simply because Aura is by far the most well known blue cheese in the country.

In Italy, many foreign dishes (or foods we attribute to foreign origin) are renamed with country of origin + Italian food word.
Lo mein is "Chinese spaghetti" or "soy sauce spaghetti."
Fried rice is "Cantonese style risotto."
Pierogi are "Polish ravioli."
Wontons are "Chinese tortelli."
Caraway is "German cumin."
Corn is "Turkish wheat." No idea why, since it ain't from Turkey.
Prickly pears are "Indian figs."
>not that we eat them, but guinea pigs are "Indian piglets"
>also, I know that tamarind comes from arabic, t'mar Indi meaning "indian date"
Trifle is "English soup." No idea how the fuck that name came to be.
Sliced, soft white bread is "American bread."

maybe the same reason turkey bird is called turkey? it was associated with turkish merchants who distributed it.
