National dish

[Aktungbby]

Seriously though; wherever I go in the world there's only 1: Wendy's, White Castle, Jack in the Box, McDonalds, Burger King(2 for $5 Wopper special) Bridgemans & my own BBQ and any mom and pop burgershacks....since I was knee high to grasshoppers the 'national meal' remains: and I'm particular 'bout the buns and sesame seed too!

Lamb & cabbage stew, served with potatoes and it's likely to be the greatest autumn (cold, rainy, dark days) food on the planet.

That sounds amazing.



Texas

Brisket BBQ
Chili con carne
Chicken fried steak (oh god, now I'm hungry! )
Tex-Mex
King Ranch casserole
Pan de campo
Corn dogs

and of course, Dr Pepper.

I think we covered this in a previous thread but I like food so ok...

Oh yeah, and pecan pie...and of course....

HAMBURGERS! The world’s first hamburgers were created in the late 1880’s at a small cafe on the Henderson County courthouse square run by a man known as Uncle Fletcher Davis.

This was a little before my time but we all know Texans are honest and humble, right?

Reminds me of the time I was living in Holland and working as an Instrumentation Engineer (VAF Instruments BV Dordrecht)

Friday was the fish lunch day in the factory canteen and my second week there I asked one of the canteen cooks if I could have my fish fried because I wasn't impressed with the raw pickled herring my Dutch colleagues were eating.

One of my colleagues who was ex-Dutch Navy and had been to the UK sat beside me and said "You Brits are weird, eating fish and chips out of a newspaper" and I replied with a grin "At least we cook the fish first"

After reading this, I realized that Shepard's pie with beef is Cottage pie. It's a good substitute since lamb isn't as widely available as it may be in the U.K. I made a pork roast last week and have enough left over to make a roast pork pie. All of the things you mentioned sound great.


The malt vinegar with the beer batter marinated fish is is so great as to be beyond description. The fish is great either breaded or broiled with some lemon and butter.

Bring some over and you can help yourself to some chili, barbecue and beer and Tums.


I always thought Sauer Kraut, Pork and Kiebasa / Sausage was a German dish ?

Isn't Sauerkraut und Rind-/Schweinefleisch a National dish in Germany ?

Sauerkraut is less popular in Germany than the rest of the world thinks it is. That said it is still very delicious when served with fried potatoes and onions and a nice slice of Kasseler (a special kind of cured and smoked pork chop), a little bit of mustard and a couple of ice cold Pilseners - yum.

No, the national dish in Germany of course is Currywurst: A bratwurst with or without peel, sweet and hot sauce (every good snack bar has its own recipe) and curry powder. It usually comes with a roll or chips. The most famous Currywurst is served in the Volkswagen staff canteen. Thousands are consumed each day. The wurst and the sauce have their own official VW parts numbers.
