America doesn't really have its own delicacies...
:lol:

Apparently you have a lack of faith in your American selection.

BBQ?
Grilled Steaks?
Buffalo T-Bone Steaks?
Venison (in its 1 million variations) ?
Hamburgers?
Crawdads in hotsauce?
Chili?
Gumbo?
Deep fried Alligator?


You Yankees dont know how to eat :wink:

As for using Canola oil, you should read some of the ill side effects of ingesting this abomination. I use olive oil for everything I cook that requires oil.

Something not many people know ... frites are originally Belgian Here we can serve frites with almost everything. A traditional Belgian plate is what we call 'biefstuk friet' steak with frites. Brussels sprouts, chicory, ... all served with either frites or potatoes. Belgian waffles, a traditional Belgian thing (not a dish but something to eat).

Apparently we're one of the few countries that have potatoes or salads as a main dish (don't know exactly how that is).

Hair or rabbit alla Bier with potatos and mushrooms in the oven-saw it on TV last month!! Cool staff!
Kind regards

Eating them in Belgium started me eating chips with mayonnaise instead of tomato ketchup...and I love the coffee you get over there, with nutmilk in!

I consider a jacket potato with filling to comprise a main meal.... :?

The only good excuse for eating mayonnnaise with potato is in the Spanish snack, "Patatas Bravas" with a piquant sauce. Anything else is mere barbarism.

I'm sure the Belgians invented frites; just as we Brits invented chips.

[Tarbicus]

Mince and chips with HP sauce on top.
Lancashire hotpot with pickled red cabbage.
A pan of scouse with pickled beetroot on the side.

Yum yum.

But I disagree about the chips and mayo - snack attack! See you lot later...

I was born and raised 3km from this place:

The Area is known as the Ostallgäu, and is the eastern part of Bavarian-Swabia. People tend to be local patriots - in a way to make it clear to everybody, that they are NOT Bavarians, and NOT Swabians, but Allgäuer.(Not to mention the differences between Ost- and Ober-Allgäu P //www.stadt-fuessen.de/:2pf8bggs]Füssen[/url], my hometown, people spoke latin until the 10th century... Which can be still seen in our dialect today. (Girls are called "Fehla", which derives from latin "filia", e.g., the German term would be "Mädchen")
Füssen:


These are some of our traditional recipes, the more famous ones, actually:

Kässpatzen:
[quote]Where does the Allgäu begin exactly? If you believe the old saying, it’s where the cows start getting prettier than the girls. Whoever spends some time in Kemptem will be right in the middle of the Allgäu, known as the Cheese Kitchen of Germany. Still, you’ve got to look closely for the cows here. If you want to find a few, take a stroll early in the morning from Kempten East Station to the Lenzfried district and you’ll be met with loud mooing, since 80 healthy specimens of Allgäu Brown Cattle will be lounging around in their stalls at the Spitalhof, enjoying their luxuriant lifestyle. Luxuriant because only the best is on their menu. The Teaching and Experimental Facility for Animal Keeping is only one of several national facilities concerned with milk, butter and cheese that are at home in Kempten.

Top Secret

It has a conspiratorial feel to it. Every Wednesday men in dark suits gather in Kempten and hold secret meetings behind closed doors. Sounds cheesy, but it’s deadly serious. Cheese manufacturers and vendors from all over Germany come to the “House of Milkâ€

Looks like a nice place - great city walls. When was the castle built?

"Where the cows start getting prettier than the girls" ??!! - That doesn't sound like my kind of town! - try the guys from Montana! :lol:

Cook your potatoes, let them become cold again, cut them in small peaces and mix it with mayonnaise ... *drooling*

I didn't know about the chips

Seems to be a very beautiful area
