Question for non-Americans

andysayshi said:
Here's a food story for ya:

I'm Australian, but when I backpacked around the world I worked part-time in a kitchen in an English pub. For Australia Day, I decided to make "The Great Aussie Burger With The Lot" as a special. An Australian hamburger "with the lot" comprises the burger bun, a ground beef pattie, fried onion, lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, a fried egg, a slice of pineapple, beetroot, and either barbecue sauce or tomato sauce (ketchup).

Beetroot is what really upsets the foreigners. They just don't get it.

In the English pub, not a single customer ordered the special. The pub manager ended up asking for one, because he felt sorry for me.

Actually I think it would be the egg that would do it for me. And the pineapple. To me the beets would just blend in like some kind of relish. Not so fond of relish but it wouldn't put me off.

Sorry, I should have clarified that "nut butter", or paste made from nuts, not specifically peanuts, can be found in African and Chinese culture dating back centuries. As can peanut butter be seen in South American cultures. My point being that it's not an invention of the US, and certainly isn't unique to the US either.

Of course, nowadays, more than 40 percent of the world's peanuts are grown in China, vs less than 7 percent in the US.

Clarify all you want. The Aztecs' invention of peanut butter still pre-dates the invention of "nut paste" by a still-healthy margin. Also, it's a bullshit point to point out that it doesn't come from the US; that's pretty much a given. Oh. Wait. It gives you a chance to slam the US so you feel good about yourself, I guess.

I also have no idea where this idiotic convention to that "all things must come from China" comes from, but just...stop. China has a lot of cool things about and I'm sure that they have invented enough things that they can let someone else take the invention of "nut paste", especially as the Aztecs and Chinese didn't really do much trading...

Hot Dogs may be American, but the Frankfurters inside them make me think more of their German origins (and of Frank N Furter of course!).

Just to be a jerk: The American "hot dog" has little to do with frankfurters. Same shape, same basic concept, but that's about it. Frankfurters are a meal, whereas hot dogs are a snack :-) ....

LOL No you almost had it the first time. It's like porridge but made from corn. It's generally eaten for breakfast, with salt and a bit of butter.

I think it's more like corn meal.

Grits is similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world, such as polenta. It also resembles farina, a thinner porridge.

I like mine with sugar, but I don't eat it often.

Sugar on grits? You MUST be a damn Yankee. Grits may be served with pepper, butter, salt, shrimp, or cheese, but NEVER with anything sweet. Grits are NOT Cream of Wheat.

I think it's a Southern thing. I see it all the time here and I've eaten them together a lot.

I've lived in the South all my life and have never even heard of eating chicken & waffles until I read this thread.
 
Back to the chicken and waffles....

The trend actually started in NYC around 1938.... Patrons of jazz clubs in Harlem, after leaving the clubs, would frequent all night diners. And
"as it was too late for dinner, and too early for breakfast"; so Wells Supper Club served both dishes on the one plate.[5][6]

Chicken and waffles was born.

Thank you foodnetwork, thank you wikipedia!

When I think American food, all I get is deep fried.

Food that screams 'American' would be, erhm... chocolate-chip cookies.
And for that I thank you.

You're welcome. I will gladly send you all the chocolate-chip cookies you want if you send me some stroopwafel. And while you are at it, send me a few boxes of drop. The US could learn alot from the Dutch on how to make real licorice.

My mother used to pour cooked grits into a bread pan, chill overnight, then slice and fry up in the morning. We'd apply butter and syrup. It was a family favorite.

I do that with polenta...best when fried very crisp on each side. I've never had grits though, but since they're both corn products, probably similar (?)
