Re: Cancel culture
Comestible terminilogy also changed (and understandably so) since I lived in Germany in the late 70's in respect of a chocolate coated marshmallow cake with a cherry on the top. It used be called 'Negerkuss' i.e. the kiss of a black person (the 'N' word, that is). I think it is now called 'Schokokuss' i.e. chocolate kiss.
P.S. It's Zigeuner with an 'i'

What are they calling it now? Rat Kiev? 
Just another thing that is totally stupid: I like german food and shop quite often in Walley's Deli in the Royal arcade. for years I have loved Zeguener schnitzel, having been introduced to it in Germany over 50 years ago. It is a pork dish with a traditional sauce made up of sweet peppers and stuff, and has always been called Zegeuner sauce, which in english is Gypsy.
2 weeks ago I was looking for it and was directed to an identical jar which said 'Paprika sauce'.
I pointed out that I didn't want paprika and was told its the same sauce and there is no paprika in it but they had to stop calling it zegeuner because it was deemed it may be insulting to gypsies.
That is just plain stupid!
this time I'll and really leave!!
