Yes I am.
Pot roast is usually beef, and it isn't 'roasted' as you would know it. not roast pork. |

The British food you so despise.........
| quote: | Lancashire hotpot is a culinary dish consisting essentially of meat, onion and potatoes left to bake in the oven all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. Originating in the days of heavy industrialisation in Lancashire in the north west of England, it requires a minimum of effort to prepare. It is sometimes served at parties in England, because it is easy to prepare for a large number of people and is relatively inexpensive.
There are many regional variations. It is frequently found listed amongst the usual pub grub dishes in hostelries around Britain. The basic recipe consists of a mix made up of meat, vegetables (carrot, turnip, potatoes, onion or leek) then covered with sliced potato or pastry. The type of meat to be used in a true Lancashire hotpot is a matter of some controversy, with many being of the opinion that it should be lamb (with optional lamb kidneys) and some thinking it should be beef. As much food can be added as will fit in the pot.
Flavour can be enhanced with seasoning; salt and pepper would be the most traditional, and any other ingredients available in the kitchen. Some stock is usually added to cover the contents while it cooks, though some recipes rely on a well sealed pot on a low heat to retain enough moisture within the meat, onion and potatoes.
The hot pot referred to is a brown pottery dish with straight sides used to cook casseroles in British cuisine. The basic recipe formerly included oysters at one point, when they used to be more affordable. Pickled red cabbage is often served as an accompaniment.
It is (as "Betty's hotpot") also associated with the Rovers Return pub in the soap opera Coronation Street. A frozen food range has been endorsed by Betty.

For clarity, invented before your country existed.... :p |

Sorry mate, all your favourite "American dishes" are really recipes brought over to the US by immigrants from all over the globe. The hamburger is a prime example of this, brought to North America by German immigrants: http://www.bartleby.com/61/48/H0034800.html
If you want traditional American food, the closest you'll get is asking a person of Native American descent. |

Sorry 'mate' but you are totally wrong - which shouldn't be a surprise to you. It doesn't matter if some German had food made out of ground beef? There must be food like this all over the world, if it isn't in a bun with onion, ketchup etc then it isn't a hamburger.
By your logic no pasta is actually italian because the idea of pasta came from china. Obviously in china they don't have all the sauces that the italians have so the dish is totally different. Same for hamburger.
Talking of food, how does that humble pie taste? |

Of course, what one should be debating is whether the sum of these immigrant recipes haven't become greater than its parts over time, and thus turned into an American food culture. I doubt that many countries' innate cuisines haven't been influenced by other countries at some point.

You're spot on, pasta was indeed invented in China. Humble pie, you know... :stongue: |

Pot roast is one large joint of meat, a hot pot is lots of little cubes of meat. In what way are they the same? |
