Pie refers to a meat pie or similar.. and the chips (remember you call them
fries).

I suppose it used to be (is) a popular and easy meal, not to my taste
though.

One can buy these from our 'fish' shops the same way we buy fish and chips

Well....... DUH!!!

Is the most used language on the planet 'American'...... or English??

Go buy a pie and chips, and find out for yourself.



I really wish these Yanks would stop thinking that their
language/culture is the be all to end all.

Here in Oz, if you ask for a pie, you get asked..... " What sort? Plain,
steak and onion, steak and mushroom, pie and peas, chicken pie.... etc,
etc."

We all know that the namby pamby Yanks view a 'pie' as something with
fruit in it, or maybe some tinned pumpkin (BLECH!!!!)......... but for
fricks sake..... at least try to learn that not every country in the
world speaks 'American', and not every country in the world has the same
crap food that you do.

A pie and chips is regarded as staple food in some parts of Oz (usually
as a counter meal in some backwater Pub, but even so........).

So...... Ken from Shitcargo........ pull your head out of your arse and
learn about other cultures rather than sit there and slag off about
something you know nothing of.


BTW, my American wife was from Shitcargo...... no wonder I took full
advantage of the Californian divorce laws!!

Nope Although if you want fish and chips you ask for a 'fish supper'
even though it might be mid day)))

Chip shops sell all manner of food. Fish and Chips (ie a Fish Supper) is the
first thing that comes to mind but there are plenty of other things on sale.
Other suppers are haggis, white pudding, black pudding, various pies, chiken
etc etc etc. Don't foget the deep fried Mars bars.

English got there first, tho American pop culture is the number one global
export (when it's not being infiltrated by Canadians, bent on world
domination--we got our eye on you Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, "Captain Kirk",
Shania, Alannis, et. al.--until every country is filled with provinces,
snow, moose and squirrels, or more likely beavers, and gigantic mugs of
beer).

How does one find out about other cultures WITHOUT asking questions?

At least I was big enough to admit there may have been yet another occassion
where American and English words were defined differently, because I LIKE
finding out about other cultures, where bum refers to one's bottom and not
merely a vagrant, or where they drive on a different side of the road, or
take walkabout in vast terroritories, or societies founded by convicts,
where all football players is play ball with their feet and not buried under
tons of padding, where a meter is used to measure more than music,
temperature and utilities used. While I'm sorry you had a horrendous
experience with one Chicagoan, mate, there's no need to lash out on all of
us.

I'm sure there are plenty of pommies about to pick on (except for Claudia
Black, she only sounds like one from all her time in Britain, after all her
time on FARSCAPE, I think she's earned some slack).

-- Ken from Chicago

P.S. And you ozzies should be on the look out for Canadians too. They've
already managed to clone Victoria city from Canada to blooming state in
Australia (unless it's vice versa, after all, Canada has really low, if any,
restrictions on immigration).

Deep fried Twinkies are popular in the Illinois State Fair. Add a stick and
it would be perfect for Taste of Chicago

Ever had Deep Fried Ice cream?

It's a Mexcan dessert, quite good. Apparently there is an Oriental version.
I've never tried that.

No it is a Scottish thing. The fish and chips shops will fry anything if
they can sell it I have never had one and I don't want one either.

It's served in Mexican restaurants, which I know are not authentic
blah blah, and I've never seen it anywhere else. A scoop of vanilla
ice cream coated with what appears to be corn flakes and honey.
Fried. Quite good, as weird as it sounds.

They are disgusting :-) Luckily here in Kelso the chip shop doubles up as a
take away pizza place too so it's the real thing rather than the fried
variety.

It's usually offered at medium to upscale mexican restaurants. Though
I've seen it in the mom and pop ones too.

Oriental version? You mean Chinese version or Asian version...not
'oriental' version.

Deep fried icecream is good...not all that different than pie a-la-mode with
a hot piece of pie.

Deep fried pickles...well, I'm not sure why some people think anything can
be deep fried.

its basically a southern dish and yes you take a scoop of ice cream,
roll it in crushed cornflake and deep fry it, coat with whatever sauce
you want......i may live in Alaska but i was raised in texas.

The world is a melting pot. I'm a Scot. My hubby is a Sassenach. We eat
Canadian, Us, Indian, Scots, German and probably others I can't recall.
Food, that is.

Also often served at Asian restaurants... I was highly impressed by it
as a kid the time or two we went out to places that served it (and
there aren't a lot of Mexican restaurants in Australia)...
