I really hate to use that word (Yank) since it reminds me of those Yankee people from the "frozen nawth". But that's what y'all call all of us, so I figured it would be appropriate to use it here. Yuck. Anyway, I've bothered y'all with lists of #1 militaries from around the world (and the US was #1 in them), so here's something we (most of us anyway, well some of you people I should say) can enjoy looking at. Just about all of the entries I've heard or read of, most I have tried, and there's a few that I've never heard of. Dang, I'm hongry now! 51 foods the world can thank America for
My other half happened to make cornbread with jalapenos and cheese yesterday. It was ok, but I prefer soda farls.
Maybe he should've left the cheese out of it. Next time keep the jalapenos (fresh, not pickled), and add a little chopped green and red bell peppers to the mix. Some people calls it Mexican cornbread like that. I just call it good eats. It'll go real well with the Hoppin' John plate. And if he takes a crack at the Hoppin' John, use thick cut bacon or pork bellies instead of the regular thin cut bacon. Big difference there. You'll have Rednecks coming out of the woodwork smelling that stuff burning in the skillet. Never head of the soda farl before. Gotta look that one up.
I never knew that Buffalos could fly - are they a special breed in USA - otherwise how else could you get BUFFALO WINGS, imagine that a buffalo flying overhead - one would need a steel helmet on just in case something fell from the rear end of it - now that would be YUCK TD
I never especially fancied visiting 'Murca, until I watched a chap marinating half a pig using a mop on one of those barbecue TV programmes... Then there's those BFO sarnies. I like posh sarnies. Your chocolate does taste like vomit, though.
You should stop by Kodiakbeer's place for some BBQ pig, and afterwards y'all can dig around in his personal arsenal and go shootin' out in the backyard. We call roasting a pig "cochon de lait" here in Louisiana, pretty good stuff too. I'm sure that Slipdiget has his own recipe over in Alabama too. I'll have to bow to your personal knowledge and experience on our chocolate tasting like vomit. Not much on eating vomit, so my frame of reference is non-existent there old boy! Not sure what a sarnie is, nor a BFO sarnie either.
Dude, read again please, I highlighted the real important part for you! APPLE PIE The phrase ‘As American as apple pie’ is used describe something quintessentially American but it’s actually a misnomer – apple pies have been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. The first recorded recipe features in a 14th century English cookbook. Still, the dessert has become an emblem of the American way of life to such an extent that it deserves to be included. I don't think that cloves are used in the American way of baking apple pie. Would it help?
I'm partial to a bit of Jambalaya myself! Sarnie is English slang for sandwich and I believe that BFO stands for Baked French Onion.
Yes, there are as many different jambalaya recipes as there are kitchens. I prefer the "pastalaya" version. It calls for pasta instead of rice. I use orzo myself. Ok, that makes sense about the BFO part. I looked up sarnie and saw that it referred to a sandwich. Are sarnies popular fare in Britain?
oh the mallow covered in coconut with a chocolate inner core (yank food) now available in British stores not to sweet a tad of salt big mug of tea very nice
Funny you should mention Buffalo Wings. we're headed for Buffalo NY this weekend and the Anchor Bar is a rite of passage.
Whatever food you like in the U.S., you'll get lots of it. The restaurant portion sizes, especially in places like Texas, tend to be giant platters vs plates. My only complaint. They put bacon and cheese on damn near everything and deep fry the rest.
I have to confess I like the US of A. The West, the mountains, the forests, the deserts, the history (we went to a town that was 150 years old!). Virginia with great old towns, plantation houses. New England, fabulous. I liked the American people, friendly, nothing a problem. American food though is a different matter. The best ingredients produced in abundance but what is available in diners, restaurants, hotels etc. is poor. Perhaps I never experienced home cooking. Mike
