Of course you do. Think up phrases that fit the format, post them, chuckle to yourself, you clever monkey! For instance:

In France it's just called it toast.

In America it's just called express.

In Canada it's just called bacon.

There are literally ten's of possibilities!

Riffing on Phoo (I think):
In the country, they just call it music.

And, a musical interlude of my own:
"You must remember this:
(In France) A kiss is just a kiss..."

RichY: Chinese food, French food, Italian food, etc. I used the variable $country to stand for all of these cause I'm lazy and being slovenly around the house today.

A greek salad sounds delicious.

dsomers, phoo, you young whipper-snappers there are no variables in native programing and the notation of $ = Hex IBM later changed it to h - never really caught on with me %= binary, # = dec & = octal,, so $country = invalid.
But now I get it - hee-hee
