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
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.
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.
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.
