For instance, the American city of Boston, Massachusetts is named after the Boston Cream Pie. Early European settlers in the area found the pies growing wild and - after several dozen generations of selective breeding - cultivated the cake/custard/chocolate confection known the world over. To this day, you can visit the area in springtime and see hectare after hectare of young Boston Cream Pie seedlings waving majestically in the breeze.
Don’t even get me started on Licorice, Brazil.
