Hoplite14gr, I agree that there are more delicacies from America that can be found, but I think BBQ is the best. It's a cultural thing, especially if you're from the South. My maternal side of the family is Irish though, so I tend to really enjoy anything having to do with potatoes.

Traditional Irish 7 course meal on my Irish side is a 6 pack of beer, and a boiled potatoe :wink:

Patata (potato) is said to be brought in Europe by the men of Pizarro and it is a Native American word. Guess the the people of the "Low Countries" changed the name when struggling against the Spaniards.
As for BBQ Trey, go to any country under the sun and they will tell you their national recipy on "roasted meat" is the best. I must say though that Americans realy imporved some recipies. Guess that some recipies of the "Old World" seem to produce nice results when combined.
By the way I think I will start liking the Irish 7 course meal!!!
You guessed it I like Beer as much as I like Wine!
Kind regards

Hoplite, I'm going to do some travelling this summer, so I'll be sure to check out the different recipes for roasted meat. And I have nothing against wine, the store that I work out specializes in wine so I have acquired taste for different varieties.
As for the potato and the six pack...I agree that's a decent meal, and one of my grandfather's favorites. Being a very audacious Irishman, he used to answer "I am fit as a fiddle, I just ain't got no strings" whenever someone asked how he was. And speaking of the six pack, are we referring to Guinness or is there another brand I should be looking for?

Tray, same answer as for roast. Too many types of beers!!
(They make Mc Faraland red beer there in Ireland-Guiness is only more famous)
Daan, yes "earthapple" (GEOMILO in Greek) for patato appears as official name in old decent Lexicons if the Old!
Kind regards
