   @quad @lanodan Sometimes, food manufacturers will simply invent names for their products, even when there is already a name for it. For example, Jarlsberg cheese is basically a blend of Emmental and Gouda. Also, there is no rice called "porridge rice" (grøtris). If you're abroad, you'd need to look for short-grain rice if you want to cook some risengrynsgrøt (rice porridge).

      @quad @lanodan It can be quite difficult to figure out what the proper names of various food items are when you've been raised in a world of corporate foods. You only really notice how dependent you are on various corporations if you try to live abroad for a while.

      When I grew up, that sauce wasn't even around, and everyone used Peppersaus (gravy with peppercorn) with their chicken.

         @quad @lanodan Anyway, if you Google "chicken breton" you find a bunch of dishes that look kind of similar to what's on that sauce packet.
