United States. Associated with United States by the book is about Pennsylvania Dutch cookery (Pennsylvania Dutch); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.
