I thought most members were American... Us are underrated. Yes, many of us do spell "realize", "realise", and I think it looks better that way. I love my country. It's an amazing place, and I think that way regardless of what's going on in Westminster.
Yep the majority of members are American, after that the second highest number are UK, with the rest being Canadian, Australian or European.. plus a sprinkling from other countries
Oh I wasn't raving about how great Brit cooking is..... just liked the snacks you could get. There's a reason brown sauce is popular there. It will either add or hide the taste of the food!
I'm not trying to start an argument here, but I don't like the way people, in this case you, categorise things by country. I know I do it for Americans and I'm trying to stop, but no-one can say "British people do this", "Americans do that". Some British people can cook. My mum's been cooking for a family for nearly twenty years. My granny does good, proper home cooking. I can't cook. I burn everything. We're all British. It's not a British thing, and there's no such thing as "British cooking".
The British have never tried to fry a pie (apart from the Glaswegians who probably deep fried it in batter)
It's true that the US has more Michelin starred restaurants 173 comapred to the UK's 155 Population of the US - 325 million. Of the UK - 66 million You do the mathematics (c:
Meat pies are the best. Especially chicken and bacon. Also I see no issues with touting hotdogs, they're one of my favourite lunches.
they are also German in origin - there is very little consumed in the US which is purely Usian in origin (apart from potatoes )
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO): "The raw meat materials used for precooked-cooked products are lower-grade muscle trimmings, fatty tissues, head meat, animal feet, animal skin, blood, liver and other edible slaughter by-products." Yum!
This has also been my experience writing my MC for my current WIP. The character is just an 'ordinary girl', but has latent supernatural traits that emerge during the story, which of course conveniently positions her right in the middle of the hidden fantasy world. Typical sort of urban fantasy setup. But I wanted the supernatural side of the character to affect her life more subtly before it comes to the fore, and I liked the idea of a connection between the supernatural element and her mental/emotional state. I started with the notion of her having a lot of pent up anger, but I later moved on to the idea of her having an actual mental illness/condition. Hey, why not? Characters with mental illness are interesting, seems like an interesting subject to touch upon. Now I found myself reading up on the complex details of bipolar symptoms, treatment and management strategies, working out how it might affect her study and career choices, and considering the implications of this to the portrayal of the supernatural elements. It is definitely interesting though.
Maize, and chili is Tex-Mex, but so is Texas, so that one's complicated. Tomatoes are from the New World as well, which makes Roman food kinda hard to understand.
