However, it originating in the indigenous cultures of the Caribbean and Central America, would explain why it’s so prevalently associated with southern states.
I’m not arguing about its origins, I’m saying you’re playing Family Feud (aka Family Fortune overseas) and the host asks you to name a type of American cuisine.
Is “bbq/barbeque” on the board? I’d say it’s probably #2 or #3 after Hamburgers (arguably bbq), hot dogs (arguably the same), fried chicken / wings (arguably the same), or pizza (arguably not “American” if bbq isnt either)
Others would be, TexMex, gumbo, cheesesteak, Thanksgiving dinner.
Anything else - deep-dish, pie a la mode, eggs benedict, candied yams, new England chowder, NY strip steak, Boston creme pie, a cheeseball… are way more niche than bbq
Fair enough, I would throw Mac and Cheese up there with BBQ. Thomas Jefferson apparently created the dish, based on other pasta and cheese sauce dishes, but he got hung up on elbow macaroni and served the stuff at every state dinner at Monticello.
My only question is why are the Yorkshire puddings hollow? All the ones I’ve had have been stuffed with mince and vegs, but I’ve never been outside 49 of the 50 states.
This is how I grew up eating them, but some people from the North of England would argue they should be the size of the plate and function like a bread bowl / taco bowl
What you’re describing is more niche as is known as a “pop over”
British food when it’s not presented like shit
Is it always leftovers day or is there a plate shortage?
Why are there always 15 items on the plate with British food?
depicted: 6, and gravy.
to make a typical American meal:
swap cauliflower for macaroni, double the amount of cheese sauce
roast potatoes for fries
roast meat for BBQ
gravy for bbq sauce
peas for collard greens
carrots for Brussels sprouts
yorkshire puddings for a slice on plain, untoasted, unbuttered wonderbread
America is big. This is like a southern meal maybe? Or more like what the stereotype of the south is.
Roughly 40% of the us population lives in “The South,” I think its fair to generalize that southern BBQ is an American staple cuisine.
The word barbeque comes from the Caribbean. I know people associate BBQ with the US, but it seems to have originated outside the US.
