We just had some pretty wild shots from something like that in Pakistan and they seemed quite well received. They are always funny to see and technically they are definitely Americana even if they aren't American

I can fit 2 hurricanes in one hand but I'm getting old so I wouldn't push it longer than 20 minutes. So my street food gonna need to be in the same form factor as the frozen pizzas they have heated up in heat lamp bins at the bars on Bourbon or a chicken on a stick from the van.

Great.


I feel like Postum is kinda Americana, like a thing an old guy behind the counter of a store that sells wooden arts and crafts in a tourist trap would drink.

It's also favored by Mormons, a very American religion. Though I'm not sure that Mormons are Americana.jpg. Hard to say.

Not liking olives and having to say something about it strikes me as very American.

I disagree, I think you get the bitterness out of collards to make them palatable to more people. I like a good bit of bitterness in mine, though. Collards are one of those things that people just assume they don't like or had them once and they sucked so they're tainted for life. Like brussel sprouts.

Full disclosure, I grew up eating collards.

Pigeon Forge is absolutely miserable. it was nothing nowhere, then Dolly Parton (who is blameless and wonderful) decided to make her hometown a tourist destination. it's just a 6-lane strip of tourist stuff.

oddly, Gatlinburg, an equally touristy place nearby, doesn't seem quite as soulless, maybe because more people live and have lived for a longer time amongst the mini golf and fudge shops and old-time photo booths.

Wife and I got married down there about 20 years ago. When booking hotels, we were surprised by the number of rooms that had heart shaped Jacuzzi tubs. I'm talking mirrors on the ceiling, velvet wallpaper, it was like Hugh Hefner's closet.

Nashville isn't too far but if you are on vacation with kids, Gatlinburg is the better option since there are no Bike Bars full of Bachelorettes drunk and screaming.

I wish I had a picture of the "US Fried Chicken" that was sold outside of the Jelmoli department store in Zurich in 1970. I was so excited to try it!

They took a decent leg & thigh...and wrapped it in some kind of dough...then deep-fried it.

The dough was like armor plate. But they did have Heinz ketchup in the tiny packs, though!

It was a similar crapalation when I was in college in Johnstown, PA & my (local) friends took me out to Brownie's Pub to get an honest-to-goodness Philly cheese steak.

It was a small New York strip on a very sad, soft roll. Like, a slab o meat.

You cannot get a a really good hoagie or cheesesteak more than fifty miles from Philadelphia in any direction. They can't get the bread.

Truth. Part of the problem as well is the deli owners never brought their kids up in their world so when they all died or retired no one gave a poo poo because you can just go to sheetz for a hoagie.

I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair.
See: all the places throughout this great land of ours that offer a "Philly cheese steak" that has green peppers in it for some reason. I've tried my damndest to figure out how that got fixated in the general American culture, and have come up empty. It's like how the Philly accent is rendered in culture as a New York accent, makes no sense.
