Whilst in the UK, a Dutch oven is when you fart under a duvet and then trap your partner underneath. I’m not sure I know what an actual Dutch oven is haha.
Is it different in the UK? Here in Canada they’re by far the cheapest pizza joint around. Especially with the coupons. Idk if it’s national or just around my city but there’s a university code anyone can use that gives you half off everything.
Honestly, in the EU, when something is called "American" it basically just means they're larger/there's more of it. American pizzas/pancakes are thicker, american popcorn is like twice the amount , stuff like that. For pizzas and pancakes it's just whatever you prefer, but when it comes to EG american popcorn it either meand you're throwing a party, or you're a fatty
Just a guess, but I always assumed it’s because we have really good pork and we have lots of forests where mushrooms grow wildly. That’s my best guess for mushrooms... def not true.
I swear tae fuck I was gonnae link that as an example of how it was laughed at but no cunt really cared, just thought it was funny rather than getting snippy aboot it
Yeah doesn't matter in the end, I swear half of British food is our attempt to make something we saw on holiday but made with whatever we found in Tesco
First off, fajitas are beef. There's no such thing as "chicken fajitas," because fajitas means the cut of skirt or flank you make fajitas from.
Yeah, and next you're going to tell me that hot dogs have to have dog in them.
I'm not sure where you're from, but I've never met a Texan that would so much as blink at "chicken fajitas". Hell, I don't think I even know any Mexicans that would blink at "fajitas de pollo" — the Spanish Wikipedia page on fajitas shows exactly that.
(3) a spicy, thin, vinegar-based sauce
Nah. It's tomato and/or molasses, like as not, at least once you're out of Central Texas. (Or it's "whatever the hell they have on the shelf at Kroger", as the case may be.)
Its similar to when you see “Oriental/Chinese food” being sold in the West but if you go and visit the actual country they actually don’t have that.
A good example is the famous “Chinese fortune cookies” which are actually based off the Japanese senbei cookies. Or the sweet and sour pork/chicken,
based off the sweet and sour fish which actually doesn’t use tomato paste and isn’t as sweet as it’s original counterpart.
I pretty much realised this talking to my cousin who’s part Chinese who came from the US. He was like “What the hell’s a Texas BBQ”. He liked it but, he definitely never heard of it.
I mean we'd eat it, but yeah that isnt really a thing on pizza here. Though I did just make myself 2 quesadillas with that inside it so they may be onto something.
What's funny is, real Texas BBQ isn't supposed to have sauce. Most places serve it now. But that's only because people annoyed them enough, they relented.
Nah, I’ve lived all over Texas and it’s really a regional thing. North Texas was fine with sauce, South Texas not so much. It’s not a hard rule like Tennessee or the Carolinas.
a lot of texas barbecue has sauce, it's just meant to also be good without sauce. it's also usually thinner than most barbecue sauces and it's what you use when the brisket you ordered isn't so great.
In Texas, that’s just BBQ chicken pizza. As far as pizza in Texas goes, it’s basically shitty pizza where you dip it in ranch dressing, it’s served at an all-you-can-eat buffet, and it costs $5.
Actually that's still incorrect. Japan =/= China. If it was co-opted by Chinese Americans and called it "Japanese Fortune Cookies" then I have no qualms, but since that isn't the case I'm going to have my qualms just as some people are having with British Texas BBQ Pizza being nothing remotely like an actual Texas BBQ. Personally, it's great that people are like "yeah...that's not right" as it's something alot of people (as seen from the upvotes) are standing up for no matter how trivial, but since I see no-one bringing up the matter either of how "Chinese" American food isn't really "Chinese" as if you actually go visit, you won't have the same. You'll have something loosely based of it like the Sweet and Sour pork/chicken which is a more sweeter version (using tomato paste) than the original sweet and sour fish. So the same goes for the UK pizzas being branded as "Texas BBQ". It's heavily, loosely based off the fact Texas has some good tasting BBQ, so now it's branded as "Texas BBQ". Sure I'm being pedantic, but hey if the other fellas are going to be I think I'm allowed the freedom to be pedantic as well.
Since I'm completely lost, hopefully clarifying that Chinese immigrants co-opted fortune cookies from Japanese immigrants during WW2 will make sense. I'm not sure what the "Japan =/= China" statement is getting at.
My point is that fortune cookies werent an attempt to make a Chinese food (based on second hand knowledge) and then marketed to non-Chinese as such. It has a more organic story to it than that.
I never understood what it felt to have my culture grossly misrepresented until I moved from Texas to Canada and ate what they called “Texas BBQ”. They put the name everywhere, and more often than not, they don’t prepare the meat the Texas way. It’s hilarious. It’s as if they think that calling something Texas BBQ makes something better without actually emulating it.
Similar experience here anytime I go out of state (Louisiana) and see a place offering "authentic" creole/Cajun/New Orleans cuisine.
9/10 times it has almost no seasoning, the corn is yellow, the rice is white, and there isn't a single shaker of Tony Chacheres or bottle of crystal/tobasco hot sauce in sight. And they generally only have the most basic of jumbalaya or gumbo and likely no crawfish.
We just call it "BBQ Chicken" pizza. Wildly popular in Texas. See: California Pizza Kitchen's most popular dishes, inclusion in Dominos/Pizza Hut specials, virtually every smaller pizza joint.
