Is it always leftovers day or is there a plate shortage?

Why are there always 15 items on the plate with British food?

depicted: 6, and gravy.

to make a typical American meal:

swap cauliflower for macaroni, double the amount of cheese sauce

roast potatoes for fries

roast meat for BBQ

gravy for bbq sauce

peas for collard greens

carrots for Brussels sprouts

yorkshire puddings for a slice on plain, untoasted, unbuttered wonderbread

Since when do the British not like Brussels sprouts?

it’s not that we don’t like them - but more that they’re more winter/holiday focused (speaking generally), and usually roasted rather than fried.

But also, Brussels are on the menu everywhere (edit: where i am) in the US. middle of July, at a bar, get a side of Brussels. I don’t think Brussels are served commonly at Sunday lunch year round in the uk.

My only question is why are the Yorkshire puddings hollow? All the ones I’ve had have been stuffed with mince and vegs, but I’ve never been outside 49 of the 50 states.

This is how I grew up eating them, but some people from the North of England would argue they should be the size of the plate and function like a bread bowl / taco bowl

What you’re describing is more niche as is known as a “pop over”

America is big. This is like a southern meal maybe? Or more like what the stereotype of the south is.

Roughly 40% of the us population lives in “The South,” I think its fair to generalize that southern BBQ is an American staple cuisine.
