Sweet things and meat is very strange to see from the UK perspective
I dunno, I’ve seen what a full English looks like! :)
Orange/Lemon chicken?
Teriyaki anything?
Sweet and Sour pork?
Hawaiian pizza?
Lua pig?
You're talking to a Brit mate. They're not known for their culinary excursions.
Plus, half of those were invented in the US.
An entire country built on culinary "excursions" lol
Raids and colonizes 3/4 of the planet for their spices... doesn't use any of them. /s
Hey, curry is practically our national dish!
do people in the UK not like things like Teriyaki, or like americanized Chinese food like orange chicken?
They definitely exist here, waffles just come across as quite dessert-coded to us. British Chinese cuisine is its own separate adaptation of Chinese cuisine though, rather than just being American Chinese.
Some British people enjoy these flavour combos. Not me, though, I consider pineapple a pollutant when on a pizza. No big deal though, I know loads of people enjoy it and fair play to em.
I love waffles - and these look great. I'd just want them after the meat course.
Just piling on, mint jelly on lamb? Honey or cherry glaze on ham? Applesauce with pork chops?
Midwesterner here.... It's weird to me too.
Yeah I'm from the Great Lakes region and it's so weird. I enjoy fried chicken, I dig waffles... even maple syrup on them is fine (though honey is better on chicken, esp truffle or hot honey).
But putting them together is like basically having double the breading on the chicken, except one half is crispy and the other half is all spongey and wrong. It dilutes the flavor of the chicken, and then why would I ever want a meaty waffle? The sum is far less than the parts IMO.
Very common in Chicago. You can get the basic or get some real posh ones without much effort
You guys got no place to talk with some of your creations. And especially some of the oddball names.
This just two otherwise regular foods served together.
You mean food with any amount of flavor or spices?
Um, Tikka Masala is basically the national dish of the UK, they definitely enjoy flavor and spices in all kinds of curry dishes too
USAmerican here - I’ve tried that chicken waffle thing twice, and it’s pretty revolting. 1/10 would rather go hungry.
Tbf, I hate all syrup. Sorry, Canada
Ah, so you just can't taste well. What a shame. Disabilities should never be held against anyone, you can't help an inability to taste.
