Battered cod pieces was not the name for fish fingers in Britain - that was the original name idea for another products by Birds Eye; "Crispy Cod Fries", which were ball shaped pieces of cod. The name was changed because of the word 'cod piece'
@@ReplayUSA Yes well, one thing though ; The Brits did not want a cod piece on a plate for a very good reason ! As it was the name for a part of 16th century men's garments. To cover up and protect their private parts.... 🤭
American Food used to be great ... until the food industry started "helping" with chemicals. It is good to know, that some people go back and make things on their own again. But i fear, that most people just watch food videos while heating their tv dinner in the microwave or eating stuff from a takeaway
Healthy food still exists; people just don't want to deal with preparation or pay the cost. The US population has more than doubled since 1950, and food production had to follow suit.
@@thelonecabbage7834 It still exists - but people have become lazy or have developed other priorities. A friend of me only knows how to warm up things in the microwave. He has no need for a kitchen. And there are places, where you have trouble to buy fresh produce, because there are no supermarkets any more. I'm just surprised how many views cooking videos or shows get, when fewer and fewer people really seem to cook for themselfes.
Soup and cheese sandwich is a Swedish staple lunch/light dinner. "Soppa och ostmacka". The exeption to the rule is split pea soup. With salty pork shank/sausages, diced carrots, potatoes, parsnip, swede (!), soaked yellow peas, and sweedish mustard... Served on Thursdays. Pudding is pancakes with jam. 🥫🥣🥪🇸🇪 / 🍖🥣🥞🍓🇸🇪
Two reasons are known. Before the Reformation, people ate fish on Friday. So on Thurday they'd eat a solid meal of pork, peas, and then pancakes. It's also a tradition to honour king Erik XIV who was poisoned with pea soup. Some time in the 16th century.... Well, actually in 1577.🤢
Chipped beef on bread is also known as shit on shingles. Think it came from prisons but wouldn't surprise me if it was started in the military.
hahaha I can understand why too!
The U.S. population has doubled since the 1950s, and if we measured it by weight, it might feel like it’s quadrupled!
And you don't mean population....
That was so interesting. In South Africa I know of some of the English origin foods but a few of the American were new to me especially Tater tots.
Thanks, Louise. I have a Sth African friend and he told me about a dish the other day...wow. It's amazing the different food in our cultures!

It makes sense why you would change the name. In one of the Henry's (V, VI, VII or VIII) couldn't keep the name in circulation.
American cuisine… manmade horrors beyond comprehension
Early cuisine served a purpose. These days it's quick and junk! No comparison, especially with all the hard labour of years gone by.

@@ReplayUSA that canned tomato soup is insanely sweet, like dipping a perfectly good sandwich in syrup 🤢

Very much so. Watch videos whilst eating fast food! Supposedly we are now busier than back then...

Did he really said "Rich culinary history". 😂
Well, it does...not as rich as Europe or some southern countries.
I love fish sticks in my mouth
And a few tatter tots?
