American Food

You can't have that.

Lemon flavored custards, puddings and pies have been enjoyed since Medieval times, but meringue was perfected in the 17th century. Lemon meringue pie, as it is known today, is a 19th-century product. The earliest recorded recipe was attributed to Alexander Frehse, a Swiss baker from Romandie.

Next you'll be claiming hot dogs and burgers

America has been around since the 19th century! How do you know this Swiss swindler didn't steal this recipe on holiday?

Nope. My southern only goes so far.

Eating that in Britain before the Mayflower left.

If the US had a signature/slogan....

We take things over then make them our own. Deal with it.

Bloody Swiss. Not neutral when it comes to stealing puddings are they then? I reckon they robbed their cheese from us as well. Always found their story of how Swiss cheese came about to be full of holes.

Look goods, but embarrassed to say I've never seen them.

Kind of like southern fried naan. Really. The ones I was used to were thinner, and used white corn meal, the really fine ground Alabama kind.

When I used to take my elder relatives to eat Indian food, I'd explain naan as Indian hoecake, and they understood immediately. Our type was not that different, really.

They enjoy spicy food, but didn't know how to get around an Indian menu. It was a lot of fun to do, and people tell you more of what you really want to know when they're sweating while they eat.

Now it has. Raise you a muffaletta, since we're below sea level. Bet there's a football game on the TV.

Blackened prime rib

Hardly ever see beef ribs in the UK which is a great shame - fantastic cut of meat

Cold beer and steamed crabs. Staple of a Maryland summer.
