    It’s the illusion of abundance.

    a very anglo thing. It's extremely anglo to have 230498123 different names for a piece of toast, because having 230498123 different names provides an illusion that there are 230498123 different, exciting things. When really it's just a piece of toast cut into 230498123 different shapes, or mixed with 230498123 different trivial ingredient combinations

    4 dishes I can think of off the top of my head: puliogre, tonkotsu, coq au vin, beef stroganoff. The first three literally translate to "sour mix", "pork bones", and "chicken with wine". It's only the Anglo ones that seek to adopt thousands of different nonsensical (from their point of view, since these are foreign names, and it's not like they're ever actually interested in the history/etymology of it) names for very trivial dishes (it's not like they actually ever make stroganoff in the traditional way)

      It's hardly unique to anglos, how many spanish names are there for tortilla+meat+veggies? Japanese names for some variation of fried egg?
