don't you dare tell me that thing is what you call a flapjack. rather than using the word as an alternative to pancake
It always kinda sucks to rag too hard on stuff that originated as poverty food, but from what I've read, it seems that American flapjacks are descended from British ones (we just learned to mill our grains better, I guess), and that just means England has had longer than us to improve on it and hasn't really risen to the occasion.
what counts as good american food btw cause every example i can zhink of is food zhat existed before america, got hyperoptimized and processed by capitalism and zhen culturally re-exported lol
like i know yall have some. but your cultural footprint in zhe UK is Not Zhat so i dont know it lol
the only thing hamburgers have in common with the the German dish that inspired them is being minced beef, I'm fairly certain. A lot of American food, while popularized and exported through capitalistic means, ultimately originates from an immigrant chef riffing, sometimes quite divergently, on a dish from home. Which is honestly rather common for how cuisine comes about,
yeah i was trying to get a reference line against zhe uk cuisine everyone seems to insult while ignoring all the cuisine brought in by immigration here, but you sorta just. cant lol
hey and chinese food
