I loved his description of his first time eating ortolan. Has there ever been a mystery novel in which an ortolan eater was killed by poisoning his wine? I mean, everyone has their heads covered, so no one can see the killer.

Take it one step further: someone poisoned his ortolan.

The ortolans are hiding from us. They don't want anyone to know what's happening in there.

Samizdata posted:What is fried fritz? All I could find was sort of a chicken hash, which not only sounded good, but not all that fatty... Fritz is a kind of heavily processed sausage sold in South Australia. I guess you'd call it luncheon meat or something. In the other states they call it 'devon' and get really annoyed if you call it by any other name. I can't find a very good picture of what it normally looks like so here's a variant. It's fed to small children on white bread with tomato sauce. Appetising.

Not even tomato sauce, for most Americans ketchup is the "mother sauce" of their cuisine. The "sketti" recipe for the Honey Boo Boo family was pasta, and 1 to 1 butter and ketchup sauce.

I'd like to claim as a proud American that Honey Boo Boo is not a standard for most American family cuisines but I literally have no proof that is the case. And now someone's going to post a best selling Honey Boo Boo cookbook and I'll be proved brutally and insanely wrong by a recipe about how to microwave bread into toast

Rapman the Cook posted:I have never heard this in my whole life. Im in West AU. It's called polony in WA. It's a cheap lovely manufactured "meat". And yes my parents gave it to me in sandwiches in the 1970s and 1980s. Maybe with tomato sauce/ketchup too, (as that was the only flavouring/spice/sauce my family possessed ) . They also liked giving polony to our blue heeler for a treat. Fo3 has a new favorite as of 14:22 on Feb 18, 2015 |

Unless you're at a diner-ish restarurant that keeps ketchup on the table, you usually have to ask for it if you want it. I guess at fast food places, some burgers come with ketchup on them by default, but it's hardly the "mother sauce" of American cuisine. That's ranch dressing.

Ketchup Mustard and Mayonnaise on a cheeseburger is super delicious. Ketchup in general is pretty good even if it is just salt sugar and tomato sauce. And no, the majority of the USA does not eat like Honey Boo Boo, as the majority of the USA are not inbred white trash rednecks. It's a pretty huge and diverse country.

Yes but that's nuanced and complicated, and you can't tie an entire nation down in one pithy, derogatory statement. And that's a fate worse than death.

I hate ranch so motherfucking much, it's the worst because people drown their food in it. Nah, I didn't really want to taste this, it's just a ranch carrying system to my gaping maw. Gross. I love barbecue sauce beyond all reason but I don't love it that much.

I'd never heard of anyone eating a bologna sandwich with ketchup until I met my (Canadian) boyfriend, who apparently ate them all the time as a kid and hated them. You gotta put some mustard and mayo on that, man. Maybe some ridged chips.

I had a Japanese art history prof. who said that everything in the US tastes like ketchup, and now I can't un-taste everywhere (but it's only really in pre-made food, I think). It makes sense, kids eat a lot of ketchup since it's sweet and our tastes as adults are informed in a huge way by what we eat as kids ( and by what our parents ate as well).

If by "ketchup" he means "high fructose corn syrup" (which it pretty much is) he's probably right on the money if you're buying processed food.
