What has your country contributed to gastronomy?

In my country of Britain, food is very important to our culture and our people are smart, trusting and industrious.

This is how we invented entire categories of foods such as:
>curry
>sandwiches
>cakes
>pies
>pastries
>chocolate bars
>crisps (chips)

We also have lots of old recipe books containing traditional recipes that have outlasted multiple civilisations.

What has your country done for food culture and how does it compare to the British?

Chocolate, dairy, lamb and beef. Don’t know if we export seafood or not. Oh, and kiwifruit.

Although it existed in many forms prior, BBQ got codified and made into a proper set of cooking techniques in America. There are dozens of regional styles cross the country. And personally I haven't found a bad one yet! Everything from sweeter tomato or molasses based sauces to dry ribs with no sauce and even that mayo based sauce that's popular in Alabama. There is so much to love about BBQ.
That's probably the best American cooking tradition that is known worldwide.

Should say dry rubs, not ribs
No one likes dry ribs

I see many Americans try to claim BBQ as American but it doesn't really work outside of America, what I mean by that is that although Americans seem to put it in high regard, other people around the world don't see it that way.
Many will site Australia as Barbie country, or perhaps Korea, Mongolia or even South Africans with their Braai. This sort of cooking is eons old, it's not unique.

Most people equate the USA with Hamburgers and hotdogs, perhaps fried chicken, even though none of these were invented in the USA (or perfected there as some Americans claim).

The simple fact is - America took a product from another country and subjected it to mass manufacturing via large corporations and franchises and that is what people think of American food - Brand names.

You know it's true.

i dont know and i dont care. what foods originate from my part of the world dont particularly matter to me and my goals.

american bbq isnt just cooking over charcoal, which is how the rest of the world sees bbq. american bbq is more smoked meat and its rubs/sauces
>>
>>22047163
>. american bbq is more smoked meat and its rubs/sauces
I am under no illusions as to why you think it's unique but it's not - just because you use branded sauces and branded rubs that are specific to the USA, it doesn't mean it's special.

barbacoa is from the Dutch Antilles. While it's true they did founded New York too, it's a stretch of the imagination that "Americans standardised barbecue". If anything the Ancient Romans did.
>>22046769
>curry
just means food, mate
>sandwiches
ok you put food between 2 slices of bread, what's your point? no better than the americans with their tiny breads sliced in half
>cakes
They're French mate, google Taillevent
>pies
They're Neapolitan/Catalan, google Libre del Coch
>pastries
They're German, google Buch von Guter Speise
>chocolate bars
Chocolate was invented by van Houten (Dutch, 1828)
>crisps
I wouldn't brag about that one if I were you

I think that most of the modern BBQ cooking methods were developed by America within the last 100 years. Of course, people have been grilling and smoking meat for thousands of years prior. But nowhere else in the world did BBQ culture take off like America, with so many different variations. Did the Romans have burnt ends?
>>22047135
Is this gonna be another one of those threads where a Brit starts it and then claims that nothing else is worth mentioning or correct because it wasn't British? I'm tired of those threads.
Anyway, you are incorrect and probably didn't even look at my post; I mentioned different cooking styles, spices and sauces. And you betray your lack of BBQ knowledge by claiming that it is no different than what people do in Australia or Korea. America has more variations of BBQ in method, preparation and flavor than anywhere else. If that's not innovation then I don't know what is. BBQ in America isn't just throwing stuff on a grill like the UK and Aussies do.
>>
>>22047248
A brit didn't start this thread, you know this as well as I do but for some reason you keep bringing Brits into this. Brits don't claim to be experts, they have only 3 weeks of the year that is suitable for BBQ, so I don't know why you have to keep mentioning them?

My point was Americans seem to think that BBQ is unique to them and it's not. Just because somebody uses Franks Sauce and another State uses Crystal Sauce, it still doesn't mean it's different or special.

>America has more variations of BBQ in method, preparation and flavor than anywhere else.
Do you think Frau Müller from Hauptstraße 1 has a different method, preparation and flavor for Apfelstrudel than Frau Schmidt from Hauptstraße 3 ?

Of course she does . . . .America is NOTHING special.

I'm not the biggest fan of American BBQ, but it definitely tastes distinct which separates it from KBBQ, JBBQ, Brazilian BBQ, Mexican BBQ, Chinese BBQ, etc. etc.

But, that is what makes it what it is. American. It's the rubs, sauces, cook time, method of cooking, etc.

It is distinct enough to the point where other cultures make silly click baity reaction videos which garner MILLIONS of views because it is foreign and different to them... kind of like... a distinct style of BBQ outside of what they normally see in Britain:

It's just to bring home the point that American BBQ is just different than other types of BBQ is all.

To say that American BBQ is not real as this guy suggests: >>22047178 is just patently absurd and contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.

Made Lancashire Hotpot to last a few days. Used a few cheats to make life easier:

1. Used store-bought potato slices.
2. Used Oyster sauce for additional flavouring. Allegedly oysters were added to hotpot in older times, using the sauce seemed like a rational means of using up surplus stock and it added a really nice flavour to it!
