    Dishes that have the same names in different places but are essentially different

    What are the perfect ingredients for an English breakfast?


    You've got to have bacon, veggie sausage, scrambled egg, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms and a little bit of raw black pudding, otherwise, it's not a real full English, is it?

    Discounting individual preferences (such as meaty sausages, fried or poached egg and fresh tomatoes), surely baked beans (with or without ramekin), toast and tea are on the menu? But not potato!

    And talking of fusion cooking:

      If it's got black pudding on it it's a full Lancashire. Well it is round here.

        A "milk shake" can be anything from 0 to 100% dairy. Sickly sweet syrup, or huge dollops of ice cream. The pictures will all look the same, the experience won't be.

          In the US, a proper milk shake has to have a base of ice cream, though the likes of McDonald's use a pre-prepared dry mix.

            The correct answers to the thread are "tortilla" and "chorizo"

              Biscuits and Gravy. Corned Beef. Curry.

                A full Irish usually does without the tomatoes, and mushrooms are also optional, but white pudding is essential, as is soda bread.

                  Sorry, veggie sausage and black pudding in the same meal? What kind of freakish aberration is this?!? I'll bet no more than three places in the world offer this particular esoteric variant. Lincolnshire sausages and black pudding, yes. Veggie sausages and, er, something in place of the black pudding, sort of. Though a full veggie English is a different dish. But veggie fakes and a blood product in combination? Madness.

                    That's an answer to the opposite of this thread

                      Of course, the "Ulster fry" goes with the heathen profanity of potato farls.

                        Not a dish but I'm always pleased when I remember that so many countries have drinks called Rakia or similar. All, I'm guessing, coming from Arak originally. It's no mystery why but still nice.

                        Oh and all how cevap comes from kebab.

                          Many Greek dishes in the US are different to the ones made in Greece but retain the name - saganaki, moussaka, horiatiki.

                          Indian dishes vary by region of origin and, again, will be Americanized in most US Indian restaurants.

                                What in the wide wide world of sport could be described as Toad in the Hole other than sausages in a Yorkshire Pudding?

                                  Isn't it the case that almost every English person's experience of "Indian" food is in fact Bengali, and our "Chinese" food is Cantonese?

                                    It certainly used to be; the post-50s Indian restaurant were almost exclusively staffed by Sylheti fishermen, so not even Bengali, but a city near the border with Burma, who've always been making regional dishes in a style popular since the Raj invented by and for Brits for meat and spiced gravy dishes.

                                      Tinned tomatoes can fuck right off.

                                          They can be decent in tomato-based dishes, that's fine. Just keep them the fuck away from my breakfast. YEUCH.

                                            Yes, there are few things that I dislike more.

                                              An egg fried in a hole cut in a slice of bread. Google 'toad in the hole US' for a photo.

                                                  That is a wonderful conception and will entertain junior come snack time nearly as much as the mystery chip!
