American things

I'm pretty sure "brown sauce" in Blighty doesn't mean espagnole it means this stuff

Great stuff, especially on a square sliced sausage in a roll.

Brown colons are an international phenomenon

when I worked at Chevy's Fresh Mex in the early 2000s, there was a marinade for the fajitas that was called out on the menu as "Agua Negra".

one doofus, probably trying to brag about his very cursory knowledge of Spanish for his date, kept concern trolling me about it, saying "did you know in Spanish that means BROWN WATER?! I sure hope they're not slathering our steak in MUSTY OLD BROWN WATER", and like the more he went on it didn't seem like he was kidding. I should have just told him we put feces in our food cos he seemed unwilling to believe me that we weren't poisoning the food and advertising it on the menu.

in actuality it's just a soy-sauce based marinade, something like

1 cup Soy Sauce
2 cups Pineapple Juice
2 tablespoons ground Cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons minced Garlic
1/4 cup freshly squeezed Lime Juice

also cincinnati chili is good not bad fyiyd

punish him by making him listen to the doobie brothers until he learns more spanish

I feel like _a_ red sauce as opposed to just “red sauce” have different connotations but I may be splitting hairs. The latter being the most commonly known sauce of that color in the local cuisine. I’d default to italian-american cuisine’s very generic tomato-based concoction, which is probably labeled marinara if it has actually flavor, and maybe just called red sauce regardless if it’s in someone’s home

damn, Chevy’s Fresh Mex. haven’t thought about that one in a minute

fp’d wins for capeschism

x-post - THank you MH that is correct.

Sibly the whole of the UK would prob want to fight you for saying baked beans are American but they are and even beans on toast is! Am American ad exec at Heinz came up with the concept to sell the beans over here and it took off. Do not ask me why I looked this up recently.

How could Cincinnati chili be bad? Spaghetti is good. Chili is good. I do not see the issue.

Taking an hour and a half to make pasta with pesto and a green salad

oh and garlic bread, next to the pasta.

I've never eaten beans on toast, why would I want to eat soggy bread?

Never??? Even I've tried it. If you toast the bread well it takes a while to get soggy but I'm with you on that.

thread sleeping on this wikipedia detail: "The word keh (茄) means 'eggplant'; tomato in Cantonese is 番茄, which literally translates to 'foreign eggplant'."

im guessing cantonese ilx be 🔥

If I have tinned baked beans these days I add some spices, usually of the cayenne/smoked paprika type to make them more interesting. It's ok as a side for some piri piri chicken wings or spiced potato wedges.
