This took me a minute to get. In fairness, we have been talking about Sweden and shark coochie is not something that would surprise me to see on a Scandinavian table.

The 49th State Brewing Company up here in Alaska does a spruce tip soda that I quite like. It's a strong citrus flavor, the spruce hits your nose more than your tongue.

Yeah, I had a spruce ale from Siletz Brewery in Oregon a few times that was similarly tasty.

Is American sausage meat the same as mince meat? Or does it have other stuff in it besides meat? Is the texture different?

American breakfast sausage is ground pork with various herbs and spices added, most prominently sage but also usually stuff like thyme, black pepper, rosemary, or paprika. It's a very distinctive flavor which personally I'm not the biggest fan of but no, it's not just ground pork.

Nope, black pudding is blood, oats, plus barley if it is good black pudding. It mostly comes in a plastic case, yeah, but that is always removed before cooking. Fresh black pudding from a butchers comes in slices on a tray.
Some black puddings are smooth in texture, some are more rough, but none of them are at all like sausage.
Personally, I prefer white pudding, specifically the ones that are really grainy and have whole barley in them.
Those are super nice.

What about haggis? From an American point of view it seems like something we'd call a kind of sausage, Robert Burns described it as the "great chieftain o' the puddin' race," so I'm assuming British people would say it's a pudding, but what exactly does pudding mean in this context? Also, side note, I remember watching an episode of QI once where one of the guests described attending a Burns Night in Germany where the Ode to the Haggis had been translated into German and then back into English from there, apparently that resulted in the line "mighty fuhrer of the sausage people," which complicates things even further.

You could instead not fry the burrito and instead cover it with sauce, resulting in the noble enchilada.

This is inaccurate. Enchiladas use corn tortillas, burritos use flour tortillas. The gluten is necessary to make sure they don't break due to being stuffed and wrapped more tightly.

Colombia is an underappreciated source of Anti-Food Porn. Take ceviche, for example. When you hear that word you probably think of the absolutely delicious Peruvian or Mexican forms of ceviche, maybe even the soupier Ecuadorian version, but the key point of all of these is that the seafood is raw and the acidity from the citrus in the marinade "cooks" it. You're probably not thinking of fully cooked shrimp served in a sauce made from mayo and ketchup with a side of saltine crackers. You may not be thinking of that, but Colombia sure is.

Sounds like a beef version of a ham and cheese ball which, to be fair, does not look particularly appetizing in the abstract either:




I've never had one with ham in it, to be honest I don't much care for wet cured ham so I probably wouldn't go for it, but I have had just plain cheese balls, as well as cheese and salmon balls. The trick to making them look presentable is to roll them in something at the end, chopped pecans or walnuts, smoked paprika, curry powder, something like that.

Just today I made some delicious pumpkin soup that had pasta in it, I can see something similar working as a normal pasta sauce. It's even spiced similarly to sweet pumpkin applications, since I used cloves, star anise, and cinnamon (along with bay leaves, cumin, onion, garlic, and fresh chilis). Obviously you wouldn't want something super sweet on your pasta so leave out the sugar, but they've definitely got the start of a decent idea there.

Don't talk to me about Mongolian barbecue unless there's a blowtorch involved.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFFByXVDKf0

Edited to note that this video uses a goat, but my understanding when I visited Mongolia was that boodog is more traditionally made with a marmot instead, a fact that brings with it the additional risk of bubonic plague, since the fleas that infest Mongolian marmots were the original reservoir of the black death.

Pretty sure that's the "trash can nachos." I've seen a few videos on youtube about it, one from Bon Appetit before that channel imploded where they had one of their chefs recreate it from touch, smell, and taste without actually seeing it, and one from Ordinary Sausage where he turned it into a sausage. I'm sure it's fine because it's just nachos, but I really don't understand the thinking behind the presentation.

makes me wonder why this doesn't show up in more American snacks. I'd eat a bag of szechuan pepper potato chips. too spicy for USA I guess.


It's the same reason you rarely see black currant flavored drinks and candies in the US. The import and cultivation of both crops were banned for most of the twentieth century (the ban on Sichuan peppercorns was lifted in 2005, for black currant the federal ban was lifted in 1966 but state bans didn't start to get lifted until the early 2000s) and as a result the US hasn't really developed a taste for them and even though they're no longer banned they're not exactly commonly available because the demand isn't there yet. I've had Chinese dishes in the US that normally call for Sichuan peppercorns and in my experience if it's a decent restaurant they'll still be spicy, just lacking in that distinctive tingly ma flavor.

I mean, things like canned tuna, corned beef hash, chili, etc. pretty much always smell like cat or dog food straight out of the can. My understanding is that most of the time the biggest difference between canned pet food and canned human food is that the human food is seasoned.

Root beer too. I had to host an "American food" themed party at the school I taught at in Beijing and had the bright idea of serving root beer floats. That was a nightmare until I figured out that HeySong Sarsaparilla is close enough. Though honestly in the last couple of years I haven't seen that brand much in Mainland China either, presumably because it's from Taiwan but I don't really know, could just be less popular than in the past.
