Seriously? Wow. I’ve never heard of anyone boiling bratwursts, though I agree with you that hot dogs are just as often boiled as they are grilled.
Also, plant, you can’t mock British food for sounding unappetizing when you live in the South. Our food is delicious, but is often pretty disgusting sounding: hocks, grits, greens, gizzards, sousse, burgoo, wilted lettuce, chow chow, boiled peanuts, mud pie, and buttermilk pie just off the top of my head.
You forgot okra.
Just to be clear, I wasn’t claiming that American mustard isn’t sweet and English mustard is; just that the most popular ‘classic’ American mustard contains no added sugar, while the most popular (here, at least) English brand does contain added sugar.
When I get around to the turkey sandwich today, I think I’ll have it with Colemans for a change.
No they aren’t the same thing but people around here use them interchangeably. In corner stores you’ll see signs like this: Yams (Sweet Potatoes) 1.25 a lb. And vice versa.
Yams and sweet potatoes are similar in taste and sweetness. Where yams (in my opinion) outshine the potatoes is in texture.
I’m still puzzled over the “I eat my sweet potatoes baked-- who ever heard of candied sweet potatoes! That’s ridiculous!” trend of this thread.
I would. For Thanksgiving, I made roasted carrots with maple syrup. My 3.5 year old niece liked them, and they weren’t too overwhelmingly sweet for the adults (though we are all Americans, maybe they’d have been too sweet for others).
Maybe it’s a way to get kids to eat sweet potatoes?
What’s the difference between yams and sweet potatoes?
I call what we have here ‘white sweet potatoes’ and ‘red sweet potatoes’, the red ones being sweeter and the white ones being the ones I prefer to eat.
In a holiday dish served when I was a child, carrots were boiled with brown sugar that cooked down to a syrup.
Yesterday’s sweet potato pie was made from the contents of cans that said, “Sweet Potatoes-Yams” Cecil be darned.
Oh, you can get yams in my part of the U.S. And real sorrel and ginger beer and yucca and tamarindos and cenepas. . . thank the Gods of the Caribbean harvests for that.
Huh, I didn’t know that Jimmy Dean’s sausage wrapped in chocolate chip pancakes on a stick was just a variation of an old English classic.
Ah, there you go again - putting sweet stuff in where it isn’t needed. Lose the chocolate!
It strikes me that there are different ways to eat foods. I remember a post where a British person mentioned that an English meal might have potatoes cooked in two or three different ways.
Irish potatoes may be baked, fried, mashed, potatoes au gratin.
It’s just another way to eat sweet potatoes, or yams, Cecil be darned.
Are you calling Cecil a sock? :dubious:
Well, no, I’m just saying he lives North of the Mason Dixon and can’t be trusted.
