Dutch cuisine In the United States, Dutch is often a synomym for "German"—as in the Pennsylvania Dutch, who are not Dutch at all but German.[citation needed]. The English word Dutch derives from the Low German Dütsch or Düütsch, which shares a common etymology with German Deutsch—in both cases, an adjective formed by adding the suffix -sch to the noun Deut ("Teut", as in Teuton and Teutonic), which means "human being". In effect, Dutch/Dütsch/Deutsch ultimately means "of human beings" or "of the people". In actual use, the term came to refer to all the peoples associated with the Holy Roman Empire, which included the Netherlands—especially those who spoke Germanic languages. Consequently, and for several centuries, the term "Dutch" was used to indicate people and things who were Dutch, Flemish, Frisian, Saxon, Westphalian, Hanoverian, Hamburger, Luxemburger, Limburger, and so on. In short, the term referred to all continental Germanic groups. For the most part, the American use of Dutch to mean "German" disappeared in the years following World War II, but certain terms have become classic and are still in use, such as "Dutch potato salad" and "Dutch apple pie", which are more accurately called "German potato salad" and "German apple pie".
