    Wouldn't mind one of those baguettes off the street in Saigon right now, with chicken pate and vietnamese pizazz.

    You could nominate it for the French part, but not for the whole country. Pea soup doesn’t exactly come across as classic French cuisine.

    That's the issue with 'national' dishes. Many countries are very regionalised, most probably, and national dishes are a marketing tool. France, Germany, Italy, Spain etc... north vs south vs east vs west . . . it's all very, very different.

    Indeed. Somebody mentioned the evolution of food earlier too, so it's nigh on impossible to say that this dish is from here and that dish is categorically from there.

    People have been doing similar things for centuries throughout the world and over time these things have been adapted for taste (see samosas in India, empanadas in South America, pasties and pies in the UK/Oz/Nz; sandwiches, burgers, bao etc).

    You'd be going round in circles if you tried debating the origins of a dish.

    This Canadian has never had it. And I've only had poutine a few times. Perogies are a lot more common than both of those if you get out of Quebec.

    I would not even start such a debate unless produce used to produce a meal was exclusive and or native to a particular country.

    Places such as Australia with its unique wildlife could make a culinary claim but I guess emu and kangaroo burgers are still being developed.

    Maybe a platypus tart could be interesting.

    Chico needs attention. Starve him of it and his idiocy doesn't spread.
    Exactly.

    Moose, Caribou or Beaver surely - before the nasty Frenchies invaded.

    It almost is, but it’s missing the beans.

    Chips, cheese, beans and gravy. In that order.

    I like the cut of your jib. At least it would guarantee the fuckers would be dead, unlike the one I ate on an Ayer’s Rock tour.

    We BBQ’s a Red Kangaroo’s tail too and passed it round like a big piece of spine. Eating the meat between the knots. Delicious.

    It was bannock and pemmican before any of the invasions. The perogies came after the Ukrainians invaded. Luckily we never adopted any of the English invaders food, except maybe for roast beef.
