American pie

That looks mighty fine

Clearly you are not a true sarf larndarner.

I think I would only eat that if there was absolutely nothing else available to eat, sorry .

Do you mean 'at the moment' or 'ever'?

Which sort of answers my question. It's mash.

Quality restaurants do crushed potatoes, not 'mash' with some sort of sauce over it.

That was my initial thoughts about the mash and 'gravy'. It was amazingly tasty and also scored a ten.

'Never judge a book by its cover' and all that.

I hope you didn't ask what produced the flavour. These colonials have some very strange ideas about what is eatable by a gentleman.

I mean more or less any time - it looks dull, brown and processed. The full menu had loads of things that I'd choose before that.

Lu and I have this drinking game whilst watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. If we spot something green on a plate we have to down a shot. I've stayed sober for hours.
The Americans do shades of brown coloured food very well

That's the kicker.

Actually the latest series is picking up on more healthy outlets and more veg and balanced meals seem to be creeping in.
I do fancy doing a US road trip eating in independent diners. I need to try biscuits and gravy at least once.

You're right. I come from Watford, but now live in Peckham and have been known to frequent the local Manze's on a Saturday. But Vernon's pie does look fine in my "mince pies".

If Vernon gives it a 10 out of 10 then I would try one but for sure it would not compare to a real Tatty Oggie.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surprisingly spicy.

I upset my Texan friend by referring to grits as porridge. I honestly had no idea what was going to arrive when he ordered it, despite hearing it referenced plenty of times, and was a bit surprised when a bowl of wallpaper paste turned up.

Biscuits and gravy....surprisingly crap.

Actually not surprising based on how it looks

Did he meet Stifflers Mom?

 

[Arjimlad]

That sauce looks like curry sauce from my local chippy !

Over the years I've heard the term "grits". I've just Googled and it is porridge or gruel really. Just based on maize not oats. Very basic fare

That was pretty much where I was at, I'd heard the term but had no reference and presumed it was something baked. Was very surprised to see a white bowl of thin gruel arrive, which then got a couple of serious spoons of sugar mixed in to it. I've still not tried it, I quite like porridge so it might be OK.

Grits means animal feed to me, particularly poultry.

It's ground stone which is apparently essential for the bird to digest its other food.

A free range chicken - who knows what's good for it - will root around and find enough to grit to eat.

Those kept in closed conditions need grit to be added to their diet.

Don't you mean "creamed"

Creamed is so last decade.

 

[vernon]

It does look rather revolting & somehow processed.

You couldn't be further from the truth.
