Certainly
In Denmark it's called 'en dansk bøf' (a danish 'beef',(steak))

A 'steak' is called 'an english beef'.

Hamburger seems easy to figure out. Beef sandwich, as we used to call it, before the american cultural imperialisme kicked in

Now you are guessing ?

Is that an advice for his stalkers then ?

(your own personal issues with Chico, are of no interest for me,to be frank)

It could have been a fine thread

Yes, it is...I believe both should be given the kiddy time outs for just doing the continuous bather...

I don't have any personal issues with Chico. Seriously, I don't. I've had direct, personal interactions with Chico, but that was years ago. I've changed, I'm sure he has.

You do not seem to be able to maintain a thought stream, First you say "tikka ain't England's national dish" and to support your claim " its origin is Scotland ". I thought I already explained to you that where a food originated is of no significance to being a national dish.

".Chicken tikka masala . It is widely considered the country's national dish, and in 2001 British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook gave a speech in which he hailed chicken tikka masala as a symbol of modern multicultural Britain. "

helge, it’s clear you like to voice an alternative view, but ‘chico isn’t a crap troll’ is really stretching things.

**Troy** · 13-12-2021, 08:24 AM

No-one mentioned roast beef as England's national dish? Nothing beats a good Sunday roast.

Apfelstrudel must be Austria's national dish but Kaiserschmarrn is just as much a favourite ...

What's the French national dish? So many to choose from that I wouldn't like to say...

^^ im not sure they have one, with such difference in regional produce i don't think there is one that unites all areas As national food sfuffs its wine and french stick with cheese

**Troy** · 13-12-2021, 09:23 AM

Croissants are always associated with France but they originate from Austria as the kipferl.

**dirk diggler** · 13-12-2021, 10:24 AM

Frog legs?
French onion Soup?
Garlic Snails?
garlic with onions?

That comes in at number 7 in this world cup ranked poll, the Argentine bbq looks very nice...

Would be an epic challenge to try every one of these dishes every day and a great thread.

An interesting list, but all I could think of reading the commentary was "chav". Turned out it was a chavette.

Weird.

I bow to your suprior knowledge but Winerschnitzl mit Kartoffel Salat was served daily for lunch in Linz, or equally Austrian version of Meatloaf. I wasn't a big eater or at all interested in food as a youngster but never recall anything but clean plates in Austria.

Lebekase (despite teh name its not cheese) It consists of corned beef, pork and bacon and is made by grinding the ingredients very finely and then baking it as a loaf in a bread pan.

Not sure if Austrain/Swiss or German origin but Schweinshaxe (pigs knuckles) are great.
Butter Chicken | RecipeTin Eats the thing I recall is schlagobers on almost anything including savoury dishes. Not perhaps the healthiest diet but always delicious, with a nice local wine.
Austrian wines are seldom exported but there are some very good ones if you nose around esp in burgenland near Hungary.

In chilly Autumn Saturdays I'd drive beyond the Sand teichs on Czech border to an old lady who served amazing Bohnensuppe cooked on one of those huge ceramic stoves, She was born in 1890s but still steaming in 1970s never had better home cooking anywhere.

Bohnensuppe Rezepte | Chefkoch

I am not a great cake eater but Sachertorte and Dmeles in Wen are amazing

Even the smallest burgs like Weitra and Rainbach have a Konditorei cafe that are equal to the finest French patisseries or Danish bakers. While of course Gulasch is of Maygar orgin, teh wealth of Austria always made it taste better than anywhere in Budapest except the army club.

The list seem to contain a lot of Anglo stodge
Where is the Portuguese Cataplana
Hawaian Poke

The Peruvian Ceviche or Gunea Pig
Teh Welsh Cawl or Sewin
The Irish Kilpatricks and Conlcannon
The amazing Sopa de Mariscos and Basque Javeli( wild boar0 of Gipuzkoa
The Polish perogis
Curry Kapiatan, chilli crabs and lasksas of Penang?
The Rendang and Padang feasts of Sumatera
The Couscous and Tagines of the Rif

As a permanent healthy diet, the Tamil Thali or Japanese Miso broth with a few shitake , but for gourmet delights Donosti/San Sebastian Gipuzkoa with Arzak, Martin Berastegui et al, even the smallest Txoxo dining club is superb or my club Club Real Moto de Gipuzkoa

Some of eh fnest Pintxos anywhere open to the public

I've tried well over half of those. Colombian bandeja paisa is similar to our fry up, but they eat it for lunch or dinner, and sancocho can be found pretty much anywhere on the Caribbean Coast- it's nothing to write home about wherever you have it.

A good old British curry should definitely be on there!

Wouldn't a croque monsieur be pretty emblematic?

**reinvented** · 13-12-2021, 02:45 PM

I like the regional "national" foods consideration:

Lancashire Hot Pot
Lobscouse
Arroz de caldero Murciano or paella valenciana
Khao Soy
A nice Cassoulet
Jambalaya
Hainanese Chicken Rice (By anyother name...)

not the same gravitas, or national Stewart Hall its a knockout punch as a full english or turkish brekky, but beats Tom Yum of a Pizza everyday of the week

**nidhogg** · 13-12-2021, 02:49 PM

Coq au vin?
Beef bourguignon?
Cassoulet?
Escargot?

Lots to chose from.

Indeed plus les Fruits de merr my first choice, Turbotin Romaine, Trout in Almond/Anis, Garboure broth , Andouillettes, Raclette, Bouillabaise, Pomme Dauphinois, and according to the pollsters all surpassed by Magret de Canard!!

I'd add Souffle a good canape as a snack and Millefeuille Profiterolles for the saucy ladies

For a healthy tasty lunch a Salada Grecque ou Nicoise is hard to beat

Nouvle cuisie with tiny portions of inedble offal has largely vanished in Bistros where oranc and lower salt /fat/sugar/cream but still Escoffier's classic sauces béchamel, velouté, espagnole, hollandaise, and tomato
plus in teh BAque country , game and Mountain hearty food wit Spanish influences, Pequillos or Pimiento de Espellete, Pil=Pil Azafran/Saffron etc
Remoulade , Bearnaise

Of course our own gourmet real chef Chico will deliver....oooooo?

• Les plats les plus populaires selon le genre France | Statista

Cullen Skink was mentioned earlier and I'dd any good slow cooked soup be it a fresh Minestrone, gazpacho, Cullen Skink, Mulligatawney or my pick Veloute de Homard a Lobster Bisque never cheap but always great with hunks of salted butter and rustic bread like we make here .

**armstrong** · 13-12-2021, 04:01 PM

A baguette, surely.

**malmomike77** · 13-12-2021, 04:11 PM

Yes and allegedly lke Mala nasi Kandar teh Vietnamese classic Pho was pot au feu carried around teh streets by Ha Naoi hawkers.

Irish Stwe Scouse and perhaps the best is Feijoada ala Transmontana from Guarda in N Portugal .

I recall arrving on a delayaed FEVE from El Ferrol into Jovenes Oviedo 4pm when Asturian lunch ending and told menu del dia ended but would I like pot luck A whole tureen of Fava beans in a delicious stew had about 4 bowls and despite encouragement couldn't finish the pot, they only urged me for the coffee about 30 pesetas I think, Naturally but returned next day for more. In that era Franco epoch grannies slaved all day with fresh bought/grown ingredients and like all grannies knew their business. It was possible to great 4 course soup fish meat veg salads cheese as much Gazosa and Wine as you wanted for 400p around the. price of a beer in the Uk! In 10 years in N Spain I doubt I cooked outside brekkie and Christmas day

I know some like a gobful of nuuts but in Spain for new year you force 12 grapes one for each month to munch as a sweet start to the year
Feliz Natal
Nollaig Shona
Eguberri on
