Grandpa and I are kindred spirits... because I’ve told this same, stupid joke 10,000 times, in at least as many variations:

What do you call Brussels sprouts in Brussels?
Sprouts.

What do you call Brazil nuts in Brazil?
Nuts.

What do you call Belgian waffles in Belgium?
Wafels.

What do you call French fries in France?
Pommes frites.

...Und so weiter.

And on this site, Cheese Blintzes are just... Blintzes.
