Meredith Baxter-Burnout posted:Keeping on brand with this thread, it really sounds like this is a booth at a county fair. This kind of thing was, in all seriousness, one of the big social functions of county fairs way back when. A way for people from different villages and towns to meet each other, since they're usually so far apart and travel so slow.

The only good British food I've ever had was in pubs. Forget proper restaurants, just get beer with your fish and chips. Seriously, Brits. If you want a reputation for good food, stop shagging your sheep and start eating them.

Or if you live in areas where goats are commonly farmed. I've been to North Carolina and seen goat and lamb in restaurants. Thing is, the US is rather large. With that size comes an astonishing range of climates and living conditions. You name a plant or animal commonly cultivated for food, it's probably a local specialty somewhere in the US and you'll find it on the menus there.

I've seen meat raffles in the rural parts of Florida, too. Again: deer, sometimes other game like boar.

Known in some circles as the dish 'poo poo on a shingle.' But good chunky gravy on a good, soft biscuit? Heaven.

Speaking of old sodas, anyone remember Surge? It was all over the place for a while in the 90s, a lemon-lime drink that turned your tongue yellow, and then it just kind of vanished.

Blue Moonlight posted:I had always assumed “Alien Pizza Planet” was prime Americana in that some restaurant is actually named “Pizza Planet”, predates Disney/Pixar putting it in their movie, and are aggressive (well, no more so than Disney is) about trademarks. It's a sci-fi skin on American franchises like Chuck E. Cheese.

Pennywise the Frown posted:Literally almost all popular ethnic foods in America are changed from their home countries. Many immigrants that came here didn't have the stuff to work with that they usually do and made substitutions. So many Chinese, Italian, Jewish, Mexican dishes are Americanized. Most of them are also snapshots of cuisines popular in a specific geographical area and time that saw most of the immigration, which makes for some fascinating ethnographic history.

BrigadierSensible posted:Yeah. Dunno about "American" Chinese food. But there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that most "Australian" Chinese food, especially in country towns comes from Fujian. As opposed to the rest of China. Likewise, American-Italian food is primarily Sicilian (and to a smaller extent, Neapolitan) in origin. And pretty much anything on the menu with tomato sauce or a lot of meat in the dish is guaranteed to be at least American-influenced.

Cuban bread at least has the excuse that it's made using ingredients that are a bit different from normal white bread - lard or shortening is incorporated into the dough before baking.

Fantastic Foreskin posted:I've never heard of a white bbq sauce. Is it just mayo? I could imagine Midwesterners dunking their bbq in straight mayo. It's bbq sauce with a mayo base. It's... odd. Very much a weird little thing of its own. I see it sometimes here in the South.

The only wrong opinion with BBQ is thinking that a dry rub is sufficient. A dry rub can be a good steak or ribs or what have you, but it is not BBQ.

A request: ##Union County, Florida. Of all the in-person job interviews I've had, the one I had in the biggest town in Union County was the one I'm happiest they never called me back about.

BrigadierSensible posted:Forgive the ignorant question, but is that common in America? Calling chickpeas "garbanzo beans"? It's a regional thing, yeah, mainly in the Southwest. It comes from the Spanish name for chickpeas, so it crops up in places with large Mexican (or in this case, genuine Spanish) immigrant populations.

Also, in all seriousness, the largest employer in Lake Butler, Union county's largest town, is the prison there. It's one of Florida's largest prisons, and it completely dominates Lake Butler's economy. Jesus, interviewing at the Lake Butler Public Library for a job was depressing.
