You don't ever eat potatoes and gravy and let the bread get in on the action?:confused:

Not that it's that far from pancakes and syrup to sopping up butter dissolved in syrup, but it's always seemed to me Europeans and other Yankees tend not to sop up things. :P Are you SURE you're one of them...? :confused:

They do when the food is too good to waste.:P I like eating soups and stews and gravy-ey things with bread as a side. Other than those, I don't usually have something that I can sop up with bread, so maybe that's why this doesn't happen much in the north?

If one can get a burger anywhere, how does it make it less American? Tom - 14/01/2010 02:59:12 PM 952 Views
I'm fine with it being the quintessential american food nossy - 14/01/2010 03:01:48 PM 926 Views
