German Chocolate Cake is from Pennsylvania
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Considering the Amish proficiency for baked goods, I’d imagine it’s from Pennsylvania, and actually German.
But just like whoopie pies it’s an American invention.
greyhathero@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No literally it was the brand name of the chocolate which was sold by a guy named German. Nothing to do with the country at all
poppy@lemm.ee 8 months ago
It was actually Texas.

Yea, Singapore noodles are from Hong Kong and Tikka Masala is from the UK of all places.
naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
My favourite weird food thing is that Japanese curry is a reinterpretation of UK curry which is in turn a reinterpretation of Indian curries.
I love the circuitous route it took to hop north east a ways, and how distinct it is due to this.
KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s also the absolute fucking best
EndlessKnotBoi@lemm.ee 8 months ago
I don’t like to get entangled with some food debate but I thought the common knowledge was that tikka masala is from Punjab. The restaurant owner who claimed to have ‘invented’ tikka masala using canned soup confessed they had spun up a story to entertain journalists.
FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Could entirely be. I just remember seeing the UK as a country of origin when looking for a slow cooking Tikka masala recipe and being disgusted with myself for enjoying English cuisine. Like there was no warning, no beans involved or anything.

Belgium and Northern France have Filet Américain (American Filet). So an American dish right? Well no, it’s raw ground beef, basically the last thing most Americans will ever willingly eat. Here it’s basically the default sandwich topping.
Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
how does one safely prepare raw ground beef?
macaroni1556@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
By grinding it fresh under controlled conditions
Though according to experts, there’s still a health risk, like raw egg.
wurosh@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
The same way you safely prepare steak tartare?
force@lemmy.world 8 months ago
italians and other europoors eat completely raw or undercooked meats on the regular, including raw chicken and raw pork.
plenty of european cultural dishes would be highly illegal to serve here in the US of A (and i am glad for that)
optissima@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
It’s crazy to me that they felt the need to include safety instructions lol. Handmade Filet Américain for sure I’d eat same-day or at most next day, but the store-bought variety uses preservatives and can last for 3 days in the fridge no problem.
Americans be acting like beef is like fugu or something, but if fresh raw beef gives you E. Coli you need to be suing people! My understanding is this pathological phobia of raw meat goes back to the mid-20th century where long supply chains and untrustworthy cold chains led to the advice that all meat had to be done well, but that’s outdated advice that would not develop nowadays. Red meat just can’t go bad that fast at 4°C, so if the supplier is trusrworthy there’s no issue.
Brits have kind of the same thing with electrical plugs in bathrooms, they’re scared to death of them and you can’t convince them it’s safe and that the rest of the world does it just fine. Interesting how there are these localized “fear islands” around certain topics that people take for granted.

Guess what americans call fries? :)
Guntrigger@feddit.ch 8 months ago
Freedom fries
azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I mean, they’re close enough to French. As a Belgian, it pains me to admit that they probably originated in Paris anyway, though we perfected the recipe (and they’re called French fries in American English for a different reason).
Socsa@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Pomme frites
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
In Japan they don’t have cormeal as part of the diet, so a corn dog would’ve been a confusing name. They ended up calling it an American dog.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
General Tso never even tried his sauce.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 months ago
IIRC the sauce was invented in San Francisco, as were fortune cookies.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Except it’s more generally accepted that it’s from New York, and not San Fran.
Where did you ever find information tracing it to San fransisco?
baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 8 months ago
General Tso, who is also not a general BTW, died in 1885, yet General Tso’s Chicken is invented around 1970. They are almost 100 years apart.

They just call it beef there. Kind of like how the French call toasted bread “le pain internationale” and French toast is just toast.
terminatortwo@lemmy.world 8 months ago
French toast is “pain d’ici”
Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
That took me a second to click in for some reason lol.
synapse1278@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Is this a Quebec thing ? I have never ever heard anyone say “le pain international” in my entire life as a French man, sacre blue !
Toast bread = pain de mie French toast = pain perdu
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
It was a joke.
I am actually half French Canadian but my dad had us raised English only, and now I’m trying to relearn it.
It sucked going to my grandfather’s funeral and the extended family thought I was my cousin’s friend because I didn’t speak French.

German chocolate cake is not German. It was originally called German’s chocolate cake, as it was invented by a person with the last name German.

The “french” in French fries refers to the style of cut that the potatoes are in. Hence why you just call curly fries, curly fries, and not curly French fries.
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It what made freedom fries doubly absurd. Not even close to the freedom cut.
