Do you like mustard?

[Stanley Edwards]

We have moved a long way from mustard.

I'm currently mixing camembert cheese dip with dijon.

I have always been afraid of boiled dinner. I have somehow managed to avoid it my whole life, despite living in what should have been called 'New Ireland'

Good winter food. Boiled sausages, onion, potato. Stick a steamer on top with some shredded cabbage and carrots.

Granted, a bit bland, that's where the mustard comes in.

Darn, I completely forgot to put Grey Poupon my tea.

OH, there's 11 pages...

The answer to the OP is yeah. All of it.

@xenon

sounds...soggy?

sorry, I guess I'm just not into boiled things. I think this is a cultural thing again.

 

[Edie]

I now have a massive mustard craving, but no mustard or anything to go with it

Well, it's not my favourite dish. Just easy and pretty quick. The sausage and onion only need boil for about 10. The greens only get steamed for a couple of minutes.

But there are better things than boiled sausage to put mustard on for sure. Top side of beef. mmm.

you don't hear that a lot! what for if you don't mind me asking?

Family. My family are from there

cool.
what's it like there? I haven't done much travelling in the 'deep' south.

Boiled peanuts are a delicacy and there's more brands of religious oddballism than you can shake a stick at. Lovely folk though, and a beautiful spot.

Halifax. That explains a lot. Most of them northerners lose all their teeth by their teenage years, so they've got no choice but to boild their food into glop.

When I think back... he did keep his teeth in a glass by the bed.

One of the finest meals in the world is smoked eel served with boiled new potatoes and fresh peas.

Maybe in your world.





Not in mine!

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

like Canadian bacon. It's not bacon...it's just ham

Say what?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

no, you can got to any one of our giant supermarkets (same with cheese and chocolate and beer and wine by the way, as I've explained numerous times)

or have you been listening to yuwipi*? don't, she lives out in the middle of nowhere it makes a big difference.



*sorry!

They have bacon in Nebraska, too.

The best bacon comes from Ayrshire in Scotland anyway:

Different countries have different cuts of meat because of differing methods of butchering the carcass.

Wiki says:

The American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead wrote in the American Anthropological Journal of the American Anthropological Association, "cultures that divide and cut beef specifically to consume are the Koreans and the Bodi tribe in East Africa. The French and English make 35 differentiations to the beef cuts, 51 cuts for the Bodi tribe, while the Koreans differentiate beef cuts into a staggering 120 different parts."

wow, people get pretty self-righteous about the whole issue, don't they?

this is my break-down:
UK bacon is more like ham. There is nothing wrong with this. Ham is awesome. And it makes sense to have it with eggs because you can slice it etc.
US bacon is a very different thing. An amazing, salty, fatty treat. Great addition to many dishes including quiches, salads, sandwiches, etc. It can be crumbled, which is not something you can say of most meats.

I just don't see the problem, really

Especially when it comes to the British and Americans, you'll not get more self-righteous than the British or the Americans. The French have a go at it but everyone just laughs at them and their silly little ministry of culture and funny language.

Bacon here is that striped stuff that comes in strips. What others seem to call Canadian bacon, we call back bacon. Back bacon is just fried ham.

I went to a bunch of different places and with each order my hatred for the England grew. But the thing that pushed me over the edge was when I ordered a BLT. It came with lettuce, tomato, and two large slices of back bacon. When I started to force it down, I realized it was missing one key ingredient, mayonnaise.

Tbh, it sounds like some horrific, insane Hell.

Imagine trying to make people eat a BLT with no mayonnaise - and back bacon in it. It's diabolical. It's a terrible perversion of a pure thing.

Canadian Bacon

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-canadian-bacon.htm#

I am more confused than ever.

Canadian bacon is a pork product. The foods described by the term “Canadian bacon” are very different, depending on where in the world the consumer is. This can sometimes lead to confusion, especially for travelers. In the United States, “Canadian bacon” is a salted and cured meat much like conventional bacon. In much of Canada and Great Britain, however, “Canadian bacon” is an entirely different food, cured and treated in a different way before sale. Availability of the two different types of bacon varies, depending on one's location.
In flavor, appearance, and texture, Canadian bacon is closer to ham than it is to bacon. The meat is lean, slightly sweet, and juicy. Unlike regular bacon, Canadian bacon does not crisp up in its own fat while it is being cooked. The meat is meant to be served in a soft, juicy stage of cooking, and it will be dry and tasteless if it is allowed to crisp up. It is also usually served in thicker wedges than those used for conventional bacon
The cured pork product which Americans know as Canadian bacon is usually called back bacon in other parts of the world. It is made from the loin cut, which is in the center of the pig's back. As a result, the bacon is much leaner than conventional bacon. Back bacon is prepared in the same way as conventional bacon, with a salting and smoking process intended to cure the meat. Slightly more sugar is usually used, lending a sweet quality to Canadian bacon.
This type of Canadian bacon is a popular pizza topping in the United States, especially on Hawaiian pizza with pineapple. It also appears in breakfast foods like omelets, and is sometimes eaten by health conscious consumers who want the flavor of bacon without the heavy fat content. When available, it is usually found with other cured meat products, and is usually sold in chunks which are cut up by the consumer as needed.
Another type of Canadian bacon is also known as peameal bacon. It is also made from the loin, but it is cured in a sweet pickle and it has a crust made from yellow cornmeal or peas. Peameal bacon is sweet and slightly salty. It is usually sold in both cooked and parbaked forms. Make sure to read the label carefully to determine whether or not peameal bacon needs to be cooked before serving. Peameal bacon is eaten with numerous breakfast foods in Canada and parts of the United Kingdom.

If you gave me a BLT I'd probably hit you and demand you take all the crap out and fill it with fried egg and brown sauce.

 

[Firky]

How can you have only 2,000 likes JC2? I have only been here several weeks since the like system was implemented and have nearly 5,000. It has to be because I don't eat the muck you call mustard.

Did someone say American "mustard" should be renamed "yellow" by trades description and the EU, and get jumped on, or something?

well, that's just silly.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I just realized something. I understand now why Brits make so much fun of Americans being fat.

It's because it's physically impossible to eat enough british food to become fat.

Different countries have different cuts of meat because of differing methods of butchering the carcass.
