I am even more amazed at the comedy found here, like the comment of "pdwalker" as shown above. "to fart under the blanket"? Now really!!!!

It also makes an unpleasant surprise for your unwary bed partner. "dutch courage" means to do a "brave" act whilst under the influence of copious amounts of alcohol.

Breads, pies, biscuits, cakes, cornbreads, and roasts all work. The flanged lid allows coals to be piled on top, so heat is being applied from the top and bottom. Of course, it works great as a pot and deep fryer. Except that a Dutch oven works really well for baking. Breads, pies, biscuits, cakes, cornbreads, and roasts all work.

The word dutch is used in a derogatory sense (much like indian) meaning false. Hence we have expressions such as dutch uncle, dutch treat, dutch twins, and dutch oven. All of which are not true uncles, twins, treats, or ovens. Dutch doors may be an exception. Dutch oven is “not” an oven. The word dutch is used in a derogatory sense (much like indian) meaning false.
