I thought it was a generally British thing with different regional ones, where only the (South) Welsh one remained popular? I could see it as a "lol the Welsh are so poor/stupid/backwards that they eat grilled cheese and call it rabbit" if there weren't also Scotch and English versions with slight variations.

There's quite a few really old jokes about spotting the Welshman by shouting "caws pobi"

Why put Sauerbraten somewhere in Northern Germany when it is much more closely associated with the Rheinland? Surely, there is some awful fish dish they could have put there instead?

The dishes are only sorted by country, except in North America and Oz/NZ where it’s by state. They aren’t precisely placed.

Milo and POTUS posted:New yorks tyle Apizza It's a real and specific and good thing. The 'famous' one is apparently white clam, but I've not had that particular variety yet. Though, New Haven also apparently invented the hamburger so that could be there instead of apizza.

Glasse's Art of Cookery says that's Hamburg. That's the same book that says that Welsh rarebit comes from the South Welsh valleys though, but White Castle says Hamburg too.

Randarkman posted:If I were to pick one quintessentially Norwegian dish really, it would have to be "risengrynsgrøt", rice porridge, sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar and usually with a spoonful of melted butter in the middle. I don't really know if eating porridge like this is how people do it in the rest of the world, but really I can't think of anything more typically Norwegian than that really.

There's quite a few really old jokes about spotting the Welshman by shouting "caws pobi" So unless the whole thing was one long vintage ethnic bit about drunk English, dour Scots, and simple Welsh, it looks like a legit family of dishes. And all of them have melted cheese so if it was so a joke it's less likely to be a caws pobi thing whatever it was. But the English variant fell out of favor and now the grilled cheese is just called rarebit after a folk etymology.

I've had pizza in Italy. it was pretty good. I was in the north though and I'm pretty sure the genuine article is more of a Neapolitan thing so maybe it wasn't real pizza.

If you actually read it the arguments it makes are really disingenuous, too.

What I don’t understand is all the rhetoric about how “finally we’ll be able to sell all British products! This is why Brexit is a good thing.” What’s stopping them from doing that while the UK is in the EU? So you can’t serve English sparkling wine and call it “champagne.” Fine; call it sparkling wine and be done with it.
