It's my opinion that IPA's are popular because you can't fuck them up. Too hoppy? It's a Hopmaster9000! And the taste of hops covers pretty much everything else, so no one notices you didn't really do anything interesting with the other flavors.
Which is also why I don't like them. They're so tremendously boring. I have a fascination with pilsners just because I want to taste any pilsner that manages an interesting flavor profile, since it's such a standard beer.
I'm sure you've had it, but this is a good one (with a great name)
My dog is named Oskar after Oskar Blues Brewery. They're my favorite brewery outside of Texas. Ten Fidy stout, Old Chub Scotch Ale, Dale's Pale Ale & Deviant Dale's... so much great beer!
Anyone who still says America doesn't have great beer just isn't paying attention.
Man that is....genius. If I should ever visit NYC, I'm just going straight there from the airport.
On the subject of home fries. A few years ago, a good friend and I were having breakfast at a diner, when the waitress asked my buddy how he wanted his home fries cooked. He looked at her and calmly stated: "I like my home fries really crispy. Basically, I want you to give them religion, then fry the Jesus right out of them."
americans get super salty about this "we have the best food" thing
there's just greater variation, i think. like rich people in america have the best lifestyle of anyone in the world but the average american standard of living is lower than it is in most other developed countries
same with the food. the really good food is better than the really good food in most other developed countries but the average american meal is probably worse than the average european meal
i also think americans frequently don't grasp that places which aren't america also have ethnic diversity
With regards to black coffee, years ago I trained myself to drink black coffee with no sugar to save on calories (it actually makes coffee into a slightly calorie negative beverage!)
I never really enjoyed coffee but I came to tolerate it. It tended to taste burnt and bitter.
But! I had a magnificent cup of black coffee not too long ago and I was shocked by how enjoyable it was. Smooth, no bitterness, with a strong fruity flavor present throughout the entire cup.
THAT is what coffee tastes like. It's just 90% or more cups use old or low quality beans, over or under roast it, or mass produce it. Which is fine if you just want an acceptable cup or you're drowning it in milk in sugar.
It's a surprisingly delicate substance, but it takes effort and time to make it properly.
Otherwise you get Starbucks
i have read that american coffee, specifically, is bad, and that for whatever reason we here in australia have the best coffee in the world
i don't know if that's true, i have no idea what you guys are drinking over there
Mojo_JojoWe are only now beginning to understand the full power and ramifications of sexual intercourseRegistered Userregular
From my experience American coffee is largely atrocious. Even the difference between European and American Starbucks is astounding. Ours will give you an average cup of coffee or a hilarious bucket of cream if you like, in the US they don't seem able to manage the former.
Not to say that you can't find a decent cup, but you won't stumble into one.
I suspect that this, like many things, could just be a palette difference though.
Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
People shit on UK food but one area where I think they kill it is breakfast. A "full English breakfast" is bacon, eggs, sausages, fried tomatoes, baked beans, and fried mushrooms. Perfect. Get your pancakes and waffles and syrups out of here, breakfast should be hearty and savory, not sweet like dessert.
Although black pudding is where I draw the line. Who on earth thought mixing oatmeal with pig's blood was a good idea?
Various other things British food does well:
Haggis is delicious:
Cornish Pasty's are great lunch time snacks:
Ploughman's lunches are nice for people who want bitty meals with alot of cheese and bread:
For bigger meals the Cumberland Sausage is great:
Also while America's great at killing your body with excess the Scot's do have one particular deep fried snack:

Hash browns are hard to fuck up. I can go anywhere and order hash browns, and as long as they're a bit crispy I'm going to be happy.
I've had amazing home fries, like, mind blowing home fries. Your average order of home fries, though, is going to be disappointing because they're a more nuanced dish.
Since breakfast potatoes are something you want fairly quickly and inexpensively, I find that hash browns are more suited to their purpose.
I'd like to pretend that I won't eat potatoes in basically any form, but I'd be lying. I could legitimately have a baked potato as my primary dinner with sides of mashed and roasted potatoes as a meal and be a happy customer.
Back in the days when I used to eat KFC, I would get mashed potatoes and potato wedges as sides and dip the wedges into the mash. No shame.

Speaking of Oreos... How much will we, as flavor town, suffer from the loss of trans fats? It's probably the right call, but I'll admit some great food rely on it.
Speaking of Oreos... How much will we, as flavor town, suffer from the loss of trans fats? It's probably the right call, but I'll admit some great food rely on it.
Almost nothing really relies on it. Its primary benefit is a longer shelf life compared to similar oils and fats. Some food will just cost a few cents more and we'll enjoy it longer with our longer lives.
US cuisine is food from other cultures made unhealthy/closest to fast food as they can make it.
Tasty? Yes. Addictive and probably bad for you? Also yes.
Also the general standard of food quality in the US is pretty low. Not unhygenic low like a third world country, but just shitty all the same. Industrialised meat production and corn shoved into pretty much everything. If you walk into an average supermarket in France or Denmark or Britain you're going to find a higher quality of product than the average US supermarket.
Real talk though: if you aren't from France, Italy, Spain, China, Taiwan, India, Greece or Japan you don't really have much ground to stand on when it comes to claiming your food is the best.
Real talk? You forgot Portugal on that list. Portugese food is the shit. Caldo verde is the fucking shit. Also good on them for figuring out (along with the Chinese) that pork, oysters and beer are the best together.
Also our food quality is getting a hell of a lot better in recent years because farmers are getting over the idea of massive flavorless crops except to factory canning and freezing plants and instead are trying to produce awesome things that are fucking great to eat. For example, I'm about to spend the next four hours going from farms, to farmer's co-ops, and a few farmer's markets to get all the produce for the restaurant. Come on by and eat some of it and weep at the gates of Flavortown.
Furthermore, I would argue that if you look around you can find small producers making awesome breads, cheeses, sausages, etc all across Flavortown, USA. So sorry if you thought you got the real experience by going to a few fast food joints and hitting up a supermarket god-knows-where, but Flavortown was denied to you.

See, to me, hasbrowns aren't shredded. They're chunks of potatoey flavour. Like in the photo above (Although usually a bit smaller than that)
My experience has been home fries are smaller cut potatoes with onions and maybe a bell pepper. Hash Browns are something along these lines:
Yeah, hash browns are pretty much this. It's a perfectly effective way to ruin a potato.
Yeah, if you make hash browns like shit I agree.
However what you're supposed to do is cook those potato strings with onions (and some peppers maybe, depends on where you are), mix it with corn beef or brisket hash, and cover it with an over-easy egg. It's a dish meant to be served off a flat-top grill. I'll send you a picture of some bad ass ones tomorrow.
Also pancakes can be a vehicle for anything and can be sweet or savory, IHOP has unfairly oppressed them into being a sugar-fest.

Also includes bbq and soul food. Cajun food is pretty much designed to be eaten by poor people... Jambalaya basically means "throw shit together and serve it over rice" and traditional gumbo is a "bring what you got, we'll make enough for everyone" type of affair.
Having lived and eaten all over Europe for a few years, my opinion is that the average American meal is more diverse and of better quality, but we're beginning to price ourselves out of that as the quality food gets labelled organic and doubles in price, while the rest is getting worse.

Hot Pockets are a thermodynamic anomaly, able to be scalding hot and freezing cold at the same time
There's actually a pretty easy 2-part explanation for this!
Part 1: Microwaves heat unevenly. That's why they rotate. Combine that with the fact microwaves cook from the outside in, and the middle of a hot pocket will almost always receive less heat than the edges.
Part 2: Latent heat. It takes much more heat to melt the ice in the hot pocket than it does to heat up the rest of the hot pocket several degrees.
When you combine this, the edges receive a lot of heat, melt quickly, and get boiling hot. But the center is receiving very little heat, and it hits 32 F and stays there for a while slowly soaking enough heat to melt.

Also, if you're not a goose, you can always set the microwave to cook at a lower heat for longer, giving the center more time to thaw.

Usually poor food involves many ingredients and slow cooking to develop flavor and break down tougher cuts of meat. This makes for better eatin' on a consistent basis than more highbrow meals, as the technique allows for more error. Don't get me wrong, I love a proper steak or fresh fish dish, but you put some bbq pork and collards in front of me and all else is forgotten.

Of course! Hot Pockets ain't from Flavortown; they hang out in their van outside the city limits wishing they could move in, but it'll never happen so long as they spend all day creepin' around college kids and selling weed.
Point was that people don't know how to use a microwave.
its hilarious that bbq is generally considered poor ppl food but that's not the reality anymore, its one of the more expensive dinners i can have here
in most restaurants a rack of ribs is like the most expensive thing on a menu
