Agree on the sweetness, can only handle so much of it as well but always get stuck in the sweet potatoe pie in oranges though. I enjoy a casserole but sometimes they are a bit much.
Have you done turducken yet?... New Orleans dish... Turkey stuffed with boneless duck stuffed with boneless chicken stuffed with spicy creole sausage. Also amused in Britain we eat turnips and give the leaves to animals. In America (at least the south) its usually the greens that are eaten and the turnips given to animals.
Didn't know about the last part but I eat both ( big veggie guy but def to pair with some meat. Ya mate, I have had turducken, lived in NO for a bit, Creole food has stuck with me since! Love the spices and all that ( probably why I like Indian so much). Unfortunately I am in the land of the fried food, and in Cincinnati it is very big on Cinci Chili which you can have 2 way, 3 way, and I think there is a new 5 way to do it.
I love swedes... not like Henrik Larson or Anneka Rice who is Welsh not Swedish but I always thought she was Swedish as a kid. Anyhow I digress... love Swedes... they are Rutabaga in the US. Bet Americans would eat them more if they weren't so hard to spell.
Chilli is Americas gift to mankind. Its hard to go wrong with Chilli. Even bad chilli and fast food chilli is good. Not sure if it is a cross culture dish... but corned beef hash seems a completely different dish in America to what I grew up with. We used to have a can of corned beef... a can of baked beans (no no to brown sugar in beans... lol). Chop up an onion... a dash of paprika and black pepper. Never had potatoes or maize in my hash in England. There again... don't think I ever had it in England cept from my mum who might have made it different. American hash seems to have a lot of potato and depending who makes it... sometimes a lot of maize. Frequently no beans at all!
Quick Google on corned beef hash recipes reveal British corned beef hash DOES have potatoes (something mum left out of ours) but its usually mashed. Cubef in America. Beans in the hash seems more of a British thing. Oh another good American food... grits... especially shrimp n grits.
YES!!!! Agree with Chili, multiple ways to make it as well: more meat, less meat, more beans, more veggies, more tomatoe based, hot, mild, beer or no beer in the mix, etc. Serve with pasta and cheese ( cinci style) , rice, on its own, etc.
Sounds dire, doesn't it? I find sweet potatoes too sweet anyway without putting bloody marshmallows on them.
Americans say "forward and toward" instead of forwards and towards. "Write me" instead of "write to me"... most differences I can handle... "write me" makes my skin crawl. Go to the hospital vs go to hospital. They never use "st" at end of words such as amidst, whilst, amongst. I always use the -st version because to American ears it makes me sound erudite and classy lol. Whereas we might say "I wish to ..." this sounds strange to them and they would only use "I want to" instead. The word "shall" is almost never used. They would almost never say "I shall do...". They would say "I will do..." Of course there is trunk, hood and gas instead if boot, bonnet, petrol. Lady Bug/Bird. Zingy is an American slang for the one who plays the female part in a man/man relationship. No... not really... Middle class has very different concept in each country. In America meaning average person above poverty as opposed to meaning wealthy in Britain. Public/Private school has very different meanings. Elementary school vs Primary school. In America people go to college instead of University... although a college is called a university if it also has post grad classes available.
