What's your favourite national dish?

Hot dogs are also called frankfurters, or franks for short, named for the city of Frankfurt, Germany where sausages in a bun originated, similar to hot dogs, but made exclusively of pork. Another term for hot dogs is wieners or weenies, referring to the city of Vienna, Austria, whose German name is "Wien", home to a sausage made of a mixture of pork and beef. In the German speaking countries, except Austria, hot dog sausages are generally called Wiener or Wiener Würstchen (Würstchen means "little sausage"). In Swiss German, it is called Wienerli, while in Austria the terms Frankfurter or Frankfurter Würstel are used.

I've got a question for you guys - I keep seeing "British Curry" on menus over here. Is British curry different from ordinary curry?

Ours comes with a side portion of lager.

thats a frankfurter btw

Chicken Korma is apparently the most popular dish and seeing that it was made for the UK market it might count as a national dish, I wouldn't go anywhere near it personally as I don't each chicken or random meat like stuff but would gorge on a fish pie if given the opportunity

Indian Curry is a lot hotter, a lot of dishes like tandoori and jalfrezi were invented by Indians who set up restaraunts in England because English people couldn't handle the spiciness of Indian curry

But Indian home cooked curries seem to be a lot less 'hot' ... spicy as in loads of flavours but not searing as in loads of chillis. I guess it's a bit regional eh

Dunno tbh, it's probably cos some indian style curries are sweet as well which is a bit weird for us

Tis should clear up everything about English cuisine and dining habits
Goodness gracious me

Although we can cope with sweet and sour chinese - we're a fickle lot

There's been a woman on a chef/cookery programme recently, doing Indian dishes from each region and teaching people how to cook them. How to recognise the spices, where to get them from, how to use them. Best series for ages but I've forgotten her name else I'd buy a book or summat if she's produced one.

Hairy Bikers are sound on Indian cookery too.

I think it was in the 50s and 60s as well so people ate a lot less foriegn muck than they do now

 

[Detroit City]

ooo - fried chicken!!!.

fried chix is a more southern US dish...hamburger are popular everywhere

Don't know about the 50s but we were close friends with an anglo-indian (as they were termed then) family in the 60s when I was wee, and my mum used loads of their recipes ... but yes it was termed as 'foreign muck' etc if I said at school what I'd eaten. Mid to late 70s less like that but even then mostly korma, madras or vindaloo with the emphasis on vindaloo and lager.

 

[danny la rouge]

how the hell is spaghetti bolognese a national dish?

How isn't it?

 

[dilute micro]

hot dogs come from germany

And I think the Romans made hamburgers. That's one for wikipedia isn't it?

 

[Citizen66]

Kebabs originated in Berlin.

 

[geminisnake]

Ackee and Saltfish is the national dish in Jamaica. You don't understand what you're talking about.

He is also contradictory. National in the sport forum means within the UK, yet in here national seems to mean international

Consistency is needed Citizen!!

Fish and chips and beer - no contest.
