French Fries are from Belgium English muffins are invented in the USA Singaporean Noodles are invented in Hong Kong
Wuhan virus? Most likely from Wuhan.
Hamburgers are also American despite being named after a place in Germany
Cheeseburgers are named after the German city of Cheeseburg.
Oh? I thought it was from Cheesebaden.
German chocolate cake is not German. It was originally called German's chocolate cake, as it was invented by a person with the last name German.
Not to mention Chicken Tikka Masala.
Hawaiian pizza is from Canada.
By a greek in Canada inspired by chinese dishes. Truly mr worldwide food.
German Chocolate Cake is from Pennsylvania or New York. It's definitely American. The guy's last name was German.
Considering the Amish proficiency for baked goods, I'd imagine it's from Pennsylvania, and actually German.
But just like whoopie pies it's an American invention.
No literally it was the brand name of the chocolate which was sold by a guy named German. Nothing to do with the country at all
Yea, Singapore noodles are from Hong Kong and Tikka Masala is from the UK of all places.
My favourite weird food thing is that Japanese curry is a reinterpretation of UK curry which is in turn a reinterpretation of Indian curries.
I love the circuitous route it took to hop north east a ways, and how distinct it is due to this.
It's also the absolute fucking best
Belgium and Northern France have Filet Américain (American Filet). So an American dish right? Well no, it's raw ground beef, basically the last thing most Americans will ever willingly eat. Here it's basically the default sandwich topping.
how does one safely prepare raw ground beef?
By grinding it fresh under controlled conditions
Though according to experts, there's still a health risk, like raw egg.
The same way you safely prepare steak tartare?
italians and other europoors eat completely raw or undercooked meats every now and then, including raw chicken and raw pork.
plenty of european cultural dishes would be highly illegal to serve here in the US of A (and i am glad for that)
I never heard of raw chicken or raw pork. Seasoned pork (dry cured smoked salami) yes, but that's wouldn't classify as raw.
"Damn mongorians."
Keep ruining the shitty wok
Taiwan has created so many incredible foods and drinks I gotta say.
Im living in Germany. We say "Wiener Würstchen" to some sausages. Wien = Vienna In Vienna/Austria they say "Frankfurter" to the same sausages. Frankfurt is a City in Germany.
They played us for absolute fools
for absolute foods
They just call it beef there. Kind of like how the French call toasted bread "le pain internationale" and French toast is just toast.
French toast is “pain d’ici”
That took me a second to click in for some reason lol.
Is this a Quebec thing ? I have never ever heard anyone say "le pain international" in my entire life as a French man, sacre blue !
Toast bread = pain de mie
French toast = pain perdu
It was a joke.
I am actually half French Canadian but my dad had us raised English only, and now I'm trying to relearn it.
It sucked going to my grandfather's funeral and the extended family thought I was my cousin's friend because I didn't speak French.
It made me angry. This is the sign of an excellent joke. Bien joué l'ami ! (l'ami, la mie, pun intended :))
What? Next thing you're gonna tell me is that sex on the beach doesn't involve any sand!
Australian Shepherds are actually from the American West.
Gobi manchurian was made by Cantonese merchants in Kolkata.
Bird named Turkey:
The Portuguese word for turkey 🦃 is Peru
Wait until you find out about what Beaver Tails are made of
