Which only raises the question of what do they call it in Berlin? Who do
Kerrymen tell jokes about?
At one stage after the publication of numerous books of Kerrymen jokes a |

Don't start that. Russian roulette, Prussian blue, Welsh rabbit,
Spanish fly, Bombay duck (OK, I know that's Mumbai duck), Aussie
blob, Dutch courage...
The Prussian name for Prussian Blue is 'Berliner Blau'.

It sounds a bit like 'Danish pastry'... known in Scandinavia as 'Wiener

Actually, the Russian roulette is Russian roulette here in Russia.
