What, that tacky trick works even in France?
I get a laugh from the bottles that feature a large badge sort of thing
in red, white and blue saying "USDA Grade A". Looks like a WWII
aircraft insignia for a fighter plane. But in much smaller print? The usual
statement that the honey "may come from" a list of countries longer than
the list of members of the UN Security Council.

Here you may have the old "51%" problem. The "predominant" nectar source
is what goes on the label, even though the taste of the "minority component"
may overpower the "majority".
Or perhaps it may be a colloquial expression to call Canola "Canadian Clover".
I have seen a Massey-Ferguson tractor included in a list of "recreational vehicles"
offered at a Canadian auction, so there may be extreme cultural differences
at work here. :)
