And the frittes. Mmm, frittes.

Just trying to clear up a few food misconceptions:
Quote from: Barmymoo on 14 Apr 2010, 13:48
I would describe American biscuits as deformed croissants.
Either you've been eating ridiculously non-fluffy croissants or someone put far too many rising agents in your biscuits. An American biscuit is, well, this:
It's fluffy, layered, and extremely buttery, but thicker in texture than your average croissant.

It's more like a deformed scone

James I have to tell you that I'm kind of angry with you because now I have to have junk food and I was trying not to have junk food. However, as soon as people say poutine I think of Smoke's Poutinerie and their incredible variations on poutine. I am going to be downtown tonight so I mean I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave to go get some. Come back to Toronto so we can go to Smoke's.

I am a purist. I like curd because of the texture and flavour, and because plain grated cheese reminds me of highschool cafeteria poutine and that was just unacceptable. I like brown gravy and I don't wanna hear the rest of you talking about your stupid gravy because gravy is disgusting on everything but poutine, where it just belongs. I also prefer more cheese to less gravy, but that is just me. Some people like to drown their fries.

Also what is this about A&W poutine? I have never ventured to try it but I suppose I will - all this time I've been eating New York Fries poutine! For fast food it is pretty good. I'm sure you all know about the abomination that is McPoutine - thank goodness it's only available in Quebec.

No it doesn't

It takes no time

Because it is gravy

You know how "gravy" means that everything is really chill and good? Do you know why? Because it's motherfucking gravy.

You know what I have eaten today? Carrot sticks. Only carrot sticks.
Because the last two days have been nothing but bad so I feel like I shouldn't eat any greasy meat or loads of carbs like I usually do. I have eaten carrots.

I tried some at Lord of the Fries in Melbourne and it was ok. I hate cheese though so I didn't really get into it. Gravy can be rad on chips but I prefer mustard or curry sauce.

Also, can you stop calling things wrong America? It's a scone. These are biscuits;

I don't give a damn about your regional variations, you are wrong. Biscuits are small, baked sugary snacks aka cookies (also an acceptable term). However, baked concoctions of flour and water in folded layers are SCONES. Although, I am intrigued to try one in a savory dish...

Alex C · « **Reply #72 on:** 15 Apr 2010, 14:46 »

I hate it when people are so insistent on regional variations of words. It genuinely makes me sad.

I mean, no offense to the UK or Australia, but it seems like you guys like to jam as many things as possible under as few words as possible, which is really kind of confusing.

Hey.

Hey.

What's pudding, England? Explain to me what pudding is.

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #76 on:** 15 Apr 2010, 15:14 »

Well...that depends. There's the general term "pudding" which is often used in place of dessert. There's savoury puddings, such as Black Pudding. Then there are sweet puddings, like Sticky Toffee Pudding. Generally, a pudding is meant to be warming and filling, because of the wonderful weather and quality housing we have here. Sweet puddings usually come with a nice thick custard.

Oh. And they're awesome.

So? At least they aren't Nickelback.

And I do not see why you can't stop calling black pudding pudding, seeing as how it's sausage. Just call it black sausage or blood sausage. Things that are warming and filling are also casseroles, pizza, and mac and cheese, none of which is a pudding. Puddings are desserts! Delicious delicious desserts. Don't hate on us calling scones biscuits and biscuits cookies while you call sausages pudding.

Metope · « **Reply #83 on:** 15 Apr 2010, 16:29 »

You guys are all wrong! Biscuits are called kjeks, scones don't really have a name and sausages are obviously named pølse.

and could you plebeians please stop talking about Bread Differences, and could you brits stop harping on what americans call biscuits because it happens every fucking time we even begin to try talking about food and i'm fucking sick of it jesus christ just accept that they call one thing a biscuit and you call another thing a biscuit it's not like that's even the sole instance of that happening in the english language FOR GOD'S SAKE

Also, I wasn't going to post this after Johnny's tirade, but England, your empire is over. It's time to accept this. Rome had a nice little empire once, and it fell apart, and now there are how many Romance languages? I realize that you invented the language, but now most of it's native speakers are in other countries, and we're going to use it in ways that make sense to us. You can bitch about it and claim that all that other stuff isn't really English the way France does with French, or you can sack up, recognize that the sun has set, and think about how cool it is that language can still change.

The American Biscuit and the English Biscuit share a common ancestor, but our biscuits in more or less their modern form are a staple of Southern cuisine and have been since just after the civil war. If a southerner serves you something he calls a biscuit, it's fairly likely he made it the way his mama taught him, the way she learned from this old lady who lived in town and took care of her as a child, and the way she learned from her grand-daddy who learned it from his mama who started making it after she was freed, but still poor and in need of a cheep sort of bread. That's a pretty damn strong heritage for the definition of biscuit, and I don't see anyone really caring that someone from a country that they haven't been to thinks it more accurately resembles a scone.
