whats the difference between american coutry cooking and british food?

Answer 1

British food is boiled and bland while Amercan country cooking uses more frying and fats hence tastier.

Answer 2

That is a bit like asking what the difference is between Indian and Japanese cooking, but let me give it a go for you.

About half of the available edible foodstuffs in the world originated in the Americas. No matter where you are in the world, every single time that you sit down to a chocolate bar, pineapple, corn in any form, a potato of any kind, many beans, squashes, pumpkins, a pepper or chile (either mild or hot) or a tomato then you, too, are eating "American." All of those things (and many others) were unknown anywhere else in the world prior to 1492.

From day #1 that the first European hit the shores of North America, American Indian (the name they prefer to be called, since anyone born in America is "native american") food has had a huge influence on American cuisine - city, town or country.

The British are not the only people who settled North America - not by a very long shot. The Spanish settled Mexico and the US Southwest. The French (mostly from areas of France near Basque country and the Mediterranean) settled northern North America and right down throughout the Mississippi River Valley. The Danish brought us the first log cabins - to Delaware, long before the Revolution. Russians settled Alaska and the Northwest Coast. About half of all US citizens have some German heritage. The Portuguese brought the first Africans to the US, to New York City back when it was owned by the Dutch. The first Jewish people arrived from Brazil during that time also. America has always been a place where people come from all over the world. Most of them didn't bring much. A bundle of clothes, a few tools, maybe a family Bible . . . . . . and a few favorite seeds from home, wherever "home" used to be. From our earliest days we have had a richer variety of food available to literally anyone from anywhere than you would have found anywhere else in the world until very recently.

American farmers, even in our earliest days, have always had land that European farmers literally could not dream of. Our "average" New England farm of years back was about half the size of Sherwood Forest - one of the very largest of the English King's preserves. The "average" British farmer leased his land from some lord or noble. American farmers have always owned their land outright. Ownership has a direct influence on how much work a man is willing to invest. For that matter, even many small "town" dwellers owned enough land to have a "farm" - raise a few hens, keep a cow, have a garden big enough to feed a family. Folks still do those things in many towns in the US.

Virtually any American landowner was in one way far more wealthy than even the King of England: he could burn all the wood he wanted to heat his home. By the time the British settled the eastern coast of North America, Britain had become so deforested that companies actually made money in a big way shipping fire wood across the Atlantic!

And virtually all Americans of any class or nationality anywhere had something that only the nobility had in Europe: the right to go out and shoot all the game meat that they could carry home to eat. Shoot a deer in Jolly Old England and get yourself hung for poaching the King's deer. Shoot a deer in New England and get dinner for a couple of weeks!

More land means more room to raise produce & more grazing for cattle. That means that a farmer can raise more chickens to produce more eggs so even the poor can eat cake and more meat so that the Pease Porridge in New England is always hot, never nine days old and contains ham.

More wood meant that every single family could have their own kitchen and their own bake oven. No hauling the Thanksgiving bird down to the local bakery or cooking the Christmas pudding in a wash boiler.

From our earliest days until very recently, most Americans have been in one way or another pioneers. Building a community has meant church suppers, community dinners, work bees. It is traditional in America to also share the work of cooking, with each family bringing a dish to share. Well over 100 years ago my French-Canadian American Indian grandmother, born and raised in New England, was canning her own sphagetti sauce, recipe courtesy of her neighbor from Italy and serving up Kuchen on Sundays (recipe from the German lady across the street.)

There is a reason or two we've always been called the World's Melting Pot you know!
