@daughteroftheking Thanks so much! 😀

signing off…I think I”ll be on tomorrow.

@rochellaine @warrenluther04 @seekjustice @alia @ariel-ashira @valtmy @catwing @kaya-young @dekreel  I’m here now, working on outlining, blog posts, and researching.

@rochellaine are you still here? I think I’ll be on in about an hour-ish.

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @valtmy Is anyone around?  I’m working now.

@rochellaine @valtmy I need to go now. I’ll talk some other time 🙂

@seekjustice @valtmy And I do not drink beet juice or put pickled beets on my hamburgers.  I have them on salad.

I would not be averse to trying beets on hamburgers, though.  If I remember to do so I’ll let you know what I think.

@valtmy 😀 Food conversations are fascinating.

@seekjustice

I did a search and found that there are places here that sell burgers with beetroot (they appear to be the gourmet burger places). I just never eaten them because I don’t really eat burgers myself. 😛

@valtmy

This is exactly what I mean. No one eats pickled beetroot on burgers excepting Australians.

@seekjustice

I’m not a burger person myself but beetroot on burgers? That is a thing? My beetroot consumption is limited only to juice.

@rochellaine

I’ve never been to America so it’s been rather difficult for me to visit an American “Chinese” restaurant. But I’ve been to my fair share of over-commercialised Chinese/Thai/Korean/Japanese etc. food chains.

@Valtmy

Yep, pretty much 😛

Here American food is categorised by MacDonalds, KFC and Hungry Jacks. None of which are particularly nice.

Having said that, its “Australianised” American because the burgers all have beetroot on them 😀

@rochellaine

I tend to only like specific dishes from specific cuisines but my overall favourites are Chinese and Japanese food. It helps that Asian cuisines have a really wide variety of dishes to choose from since a lot of the cuisine varies based on different regions.

@valtmy Oh…have you ever been to an American “Chinese” restaurant?  (The fake kind.)

@valtmy But even American Asian restaurants are often “Americanized” and contain all fried and sugared food as well.  You’ve got to go to an authentic Asian restaurant to get good food. 😉

I prefer Italian, usually, or Middle Eastern.  What about you?

@rochellaine @seekjustice

Where I am American cuisine is maligned as well. Lots of people will say they like Thai food, Korean food, Japanese food etc. but I’ve never met anyone who said they like American food. 😛

@seekjustice Haha, I have to admit that American food is known for being all fried, salted, and sugared far beyond the tastes of normalcy, and with reason.  We make fun of it ourselves, though. 😉  A lot of people don’t eat fast food much, but it is a real thing.

Wait…there are people who don’t eat pb&j???  Are you serious?  Wow.  Have you ever…[Read more]

@rochellaine

The number one at the moment is your propensity to deep fry everything, closely followed by peanut butter and jelly/jam and the fact that you don’t eat beetroot on burgers.

@seekjustice 😛

The question is…what are American culinary tastes?  We have such a mixture here, since we’re a melting pot of all nations. 😉

What particular tastes do they think the general population has that are worth maligning?
