Hey don't take it to heart.
The other two items in the range are "Italian" Pesto Chicken Bites and "Indian" Masala Chicken Goujons.

There are many food crimes committed in American under the name of Italian cookery.
Ditto in this country under the name of Indian cookery.
Don't think for a second the USA should be immune!

Although I do love an American-Style Diner. Because if it's licensed it will sell Long Island Iced Tea. Ooh I could suck that up through a straw! Oh, I mean... I have.

As a side note, one of my favourite ad campaigns of all time was by the company that made Phileas Fogg tortilla chips. They had a whole range of "world" snacks. The adverts showed authentic settings for each and then a voiceover at the end said in a very scholarly voice, "Pay attention! Phileas Fogg snacks are made in Medomsley Road, Consett."

Here is one of my favourites. If something I come across has the right syllables and cadence I am still occasionally moved to sing it to the tune of Punjab Airways...


NB - the wording in this advert differs slightly from my description above. Some definitely said Pay Attention though.
