Well, I don't know... how many languages are spoken in the world?

I'm pretty sure it is more than 120, which is the answer to the question. Wink

Let's see who can beat Coppy to the answer.
There are two specific answers mentioned, but if you know of more go ahead and post them all!

Q: The breakfast or lunch dish called Eggs Benedict consists of toasted halves of an English muffin, covered with a thin slice of Canadian bacon, and two poached eggs topped with Hollandaise sauce. Where did this dish get its name?

Benedict Arnold? Razz

Mmm, I love eggs benny.... too bad you can't get them around here (other than at Perkins) Crying or Very sad

Actually, I'm almost positive that this one of those things whose origin is in dispute, although I'm sure did come from a New York hotel (like the Cobb Salad). And, of course, named for a guy named Benedict.
