関西で肉と言えば

「関東では豚肉をよく食べているが、関西で肉と言えば牛肉だ」と関西出身のおじさんが言っていました。面倒くさいと思って適当に流しましたが（苦笑）、こういうのは言葉の面白さではあります。

同じような例としてAsianという言葉も英国と米国では指す対象が違うというのがあります。

（オックスフォード）
Asian
a person from Asia, or whose family originally came from Asia
British Asians
In British English Asian is used especially to refer to people from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. In North American English it is used especially to refer to people from the Far East.

オックスフォードのような学習辞典が取り上げている場合、日本の辞典にもあります。この調子で英語と日本語のイメージの差も丁寧に取り上げてくれるといいのですが。。。

（ウィズダム）
Asian
アジア人 (!｟米｠では主に日本人, 中国人, 韓国人, タイ人, ベトナム人などを, ｟英｠では主にインド人, パキスタン人, バングラデシュ人などをさす) .

映画ダンケルクに触発されてインドのメディアはダンケルクで救出された兵士の中にインド兵もいたという記事がありました。最終的にインド兵は第二次世界大戦に250万人も従軍していたんですね。英国の参戦という視点からではこぼれ落ちやすい情報です。

Miracle of Dunkirk: Indians too were trapped with Allied forces
Master-director Christopher Nolan's war epic -- DUNKIRK -- will release in India tomorrow. Before you go relish the movie, see India's connection with this French port city from where 3,00,000 soldiers were evacuated during the World War II.

In 1940, over the course of eight days, the French port city of Dunkirk won itself a place in military history, becoming the site of an ingenious evacuation that ultimately saved over 3,00,000 allied soldiers. An evacuation that sets the backdrop for Christopher Nolan's war epic Dunkirk, which releases this Friday.

The film promises to be a 70mm spectacle that, early reviews say, is among Nolan's best works. What you will probably not see on the silver screen is the little-known tale of the Indian Army troops who were in and around Dunkirk when the historic evacuation was carried out.

The soldiers were part of the first units of the Indian Army to take part in the Second World War. Over the course of the grand war, the Indian Army, which started off with just under 2,00,000 men, grew to more than 2.5 million personnel, becoming the largest volunteer force in history.

The Indian Army's contributions during the latter part of the World War II are well documented. However, the story of four transport companies of Indian Army that sailed from Mumbai and had to be rescued from the beaches of France has mostly skipped the history books.

こういう知識を得られるのもネットのいいところですが、このインド兵は実は今でいうパキスタン出身が多かったとか。

Operation Dynamo -- code name given to the Dunkirk evacuation -- used 933 ships to pick up the soldiers from the beaches and harbours of the French city. Among the soldiers rescued were a bunch of Indian Army troops who originated from modern-day Pakistan.

インドに旅行に行こうと思ってビザを調べたんですが、パキスタン人はインドのビザって取れないようですね。こんなところにも歴史の影を感じました。
