> In American English when you name a food you are referencing the source of the cuisine, not the literal source of the ingredients themselves.

That is by no means a hard and fast rule. Consider:

- Alaskan salmon

- Napa Valley Cabernet

- Michigan Cherries

- Georgia Peaches

All of these refer to the places they are produced.

And of course there are examples where the place name has fossilized into the product itself:

- Monterey Jack cheese

- Arkansas gold apples
