American food

..... and your point is ?

Wait a few years until you get a craving for somethin' scrumptious like a Maine lobster with hush puppies

Since when is Lobster American food?...I'm curious, what exactly constitutes American cuisine and how on earth would someone find themselves actually missing it?

I may miss food from the US but it certainly isn't American food - whatever that might be...American cheese?

Roasted turkey with cranberry sauce
Stuffing
Deep dish apple pie
Cherry crumble
Corn on the cob, potato salad and cold slaw
BBQ'd T-Bone
Yams and other sweet potato side dishes
Grits
Real thick pancakes stacked and cut in slices with real maple syrup
Devil's and Angel food cake
Cajun shrimps
Chicken gumbo

and..... Root Beer

Shame most of those examples aren't even American

To help with your confusion / denial, here are some examples:

Biscuits and sausage gravy (here).


Pulled pork (here)


Apple pie (here)


Cobb salad (here)


Colby cheese (here)



Of course, that's just the tip of the ice burg.

Stop it!! (Unless you're going to invite me over, when you're cooking )

Cooking is the better part of the day. You have the right to disagree, but then you don't diserve your good ribs.
I feel like talking in metaphor to a student, kind of awkward.

Chili, Bufalo wings, steamers...

it is abvious that you and others with similar comments dont know a thing about restaurants and good eating in america. After being here for over two years, fast food beets any 50 CHF meal here. Having said that, I am not a fast food person, certainly boycott MCD, but no one in their right mind would want to eat a steak which is microwaved, unless I am going to a semi fast food restaurant as a last resort.

As for american dining, they may call it american Grill, etc... but this is their own interpretation or imagination of what it would be. they will never match quality of Steak or other ingriedients, as simple as potato chips.

If only.... if only they'd open a Red Lobster here.. just a lil one, anywhere in CH.. *sigh*

Crab legs and a nut cracker with hush puppies
and, of course, a bib !

amateur !!!!!!!!

I could be mistaken but I believe Red Lobster is a franchise type establishment, perhaps you know someone who is looking for a business to open and run who maybe like the idea of opening a RL.

I am going to be in the States in about 6 weeks. So I should get stuck into some of this??? Mind you, much of it is Oz food as well. I could certainly shovel in a lobster!

But I am absolutely going to miss fondue, raclette, kasechuchli, those yummy little sweet things from Migros bakery and the Parisiennes I've been buying at Coop, kaffee creme......sigh....

Why lie? I need an Oreo.

American desserts and bagels!

There's also a place called the Buffalo Grill right off the interstate in Crissier--next to a big mall! (just 30 mins from Geneva by car)

Do you mean that's just the tip of the iceberg lettuce?

I hate to be a spoilsport but I had cheesecake from cheesecake co. a few months ago... it in no way lived up to American standards.

and there is a Buffalo Grill just over the border from Geneva in Divonne ... I may have made reference to it earlier in this thread.

There is a buffalo grill in Archamps too(not that you will ever find me in there after the scandal)

ohhhh ???
spill........................... EF needs a good scandal

It was during BSE and a few of the bosses got dumped in the slammer for serving UK BSE tainted meat 03 i think - also there were a lot of hygiene issues .
