Well, we don’t put maple syrup on the eggs and fried potatoes. Only on the waffles/pancakes/French toast and, oops!, “accidentally” on the bacon. Salty, delicious bacon pairs amazingly with maple syrup.
Also, fake maple syrup is an abomination.
It is also friggin amazing when used in stuffing/dressing for turkey or chicken, or in fish cakes. You can also find savoury online here.
Dreiberg/Note Owl: You want me to heat those up for you, or something?
Walter Kovacs/Rohrshach: Fine like this.
To that I’ll add: meat pies & pasties, mushy peas, sticky toffee pudding, Sunday roasts, gravy, gravy, gravy. Alongside these comfort foods are their modern manifestations by chefs at numerous gastro pubs and cafes. A glorious time to eat in London. English food has never been better.
Except that anyone who knows beans about chili knows chili doesn’t have any beans.
(it’s a Texas thing)
A few years ago, my friend Deb had some friends visiting her from home: NYC. We gathered at her house for pot luck brunch before heading out one morning. Some of the Texans were whispering “fish and cream cheese for BREAKFAST? Gross”. Some of the NYers were whispering “beans and jalapenos for BREAKFAST? Gross”. I had some of both, but I prefer the El Nino taco: beans, chorizo, and jalapenos. Time to WAKE UP.
Watchu talkin bout Willis? Of course you put the syrup straight on the bacon. Also straight on the sausage. You did order sausage didn’t you? :dubious:
Hot dogs in man n cheese is for children. An adult puts a right proper sausage, of your choosing, in their mac n cheese.
Corn dogs are awesome. Also good is breakfast dogs. A breakfast sausage dipped in pancake batter and fried.
Are you sure you’re an American and not some Commie Pinko Russian spy pretending to be an American? :dubious:
Of course you put the syrup on the eggs and potatoes, right after you put the hot sauce on them. Spicy and sweet is the best flavor.
This begins to remind me of a bizarre conversation I had once with a fellow American who insisted that British persons ate only English muffins and tea for breakfast. And sometimes ham, which they called “bacon.” He knew. He’d been there. It was against the law, or something…
The fellow didn’t know what Weetabix were, which caused me to doubt.
Yeah, well, you’re drunk.
Really? Is their word for “dog” inu, the same as their word for canine? Or do they use a different word?
ドッグ, “doggu.”
So that’d be “American doggu.”
Thanks. I’ve grown up calling them hot dogs, but I wasn’t sure the idiom carried over too well into Japanese… but durned if I wasn’t curious. Because I know they have hot dog pizza crusts over there.
Well, アメリカンドッグ, Amerikandoggu if you want to get technical 
The hot dog crust started in Japan as far as I know, but has since made its way to America!
I kept thinking about the old Yakov Smirnoff joke, “Ew! In Soviet Russia, we don’t eat that part of the dog! What a country!”
Well, really it’s just the English term “American dog” transliterated into Japanese.
Well, I’m thinking that “americandoggu” is a term for a meat snack, whereas “american inu” is a Japanese term for a canine lifeform from America.
I was just curious as to whether they were actually the same word or phrase.
I do, enthusiastically. Van Camp’s Pork 'N Beans, cold out of the can? A feast for the gods. And you get a concert afterwards.
I don’t eat the little pad of pork fat, though. That’d be disgusting.
I couldn’t have said it any better myself. Straight from the can is the best way to eat pork and beans.
And the cat likes the little pork fat piece.
I should have said that the Japanese term for corn dogs was the English words “American” and “dog” transliterated into Japanese, as “American dog” isn’t actually the English term for corn dogs. Japanese for hot dog is also just “hot dog” transliterated into Japanese, so it would be clear to a Japanese speaker that an American dog is a variation on a hot dog.
The term for canines from America never came up in conversation when I was over there and my Japanese isn’t great, but it’s probably “Amerika no inu” (literally “dog of America”).
As an Aussie living in the US, the cheap white bread here is NOT the same as cheap white bread in Aust. It’s much much sweeter. As in, the 2nd ingredient on the list is high-fructose corn syrup, and the 3rd is sugar.
I make all of our bread now. It’s the only way I can get the Vegemite to taste right.
Pancakes and a bowl of cereal? It’d be weird to eat both. I wonder how fattening pancake syrup is. A bowl of non-kiddy cereal is only going to be a couple hundred calories, so you’re either eating a lot of pancakes too or loading them with other stuff.
