American Food

[malcson]

While it's hard to disagree with this comment, it would seem more clever if I had not written what you quoted

You did not include that it was also a French influenced Vietnamese food, I added this to emphasise how un American it is.

It comes from the Arabic word al-bāḏinjān, apparently.

"Eggplant" originally only applied to white cultivars, which did actually look like eggs.

Ooo thank you! I’m enlightened

After my working day is over I don’t really watch tv, I watch reruns of food shows.

My faves are

1. Diners drive thrus dives
2. Man v food
3. Nigella
4.Pioneer Woman

I wistfully enjoy the latter as I one day hope to nab me a piece of southern hospitality cooking wifey.

Anyone know one?

Maybe @RAFUH

Mate just buy a 1 way ticket to Atlanta or Charlotte. I'm imaging you like the kid in Love, Actually who flies to Milwaukee.

Pls do not tempt me. You have no idea how unhinged and impressionable I am.

America does have the best sandwiches.

I would give my right arm for one of those Jewish salt beef sandwiches or a proper cheesesteak, or a beef on weck.

I love how unnecessarily large they make the sandwiches

They make everything unnecessarily large. They don't understand the concept of restraint when it comes to food. Top shelf every time.

No, but I do know how the women of the Southern US can be both genuine and saccharine at the same time, much like the food they produce

Ate something very similar to this and washed it down with a pint of draught Bass at a New York Giants game a few years ago. Glorious stuff, but very bad for your arteries.

Wingstop is quite popular in the UK, but hugely average IMO, I’m gonna try and make my own version tonight for my daughter.

Chicken looks alright, recipe? deep or air fried? I have no idea what you've done to those 'fries' but they look terrified. And who gets the extra long celery stick? Is it mint yogurt to go with?

Good effort. Presentation of the Celery is a bit off. One is much longer than the others

Is that the healthy option? Doesn't look terribly appetising. I'd scran the hot one and fridge the rest for lunch tomorrow.

I am just home from New York, when I was there I had La Montanara which is deep fried pizza in Don Antonio’s on West 50th Street. While deep fried pizza sounds disgusting it is the best pizza I have ever had.
