Danishes are called Wienerbrød in Denmark.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 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.

Guess what americans call fries? :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Pomme frites

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 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).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Freedom fries

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where long supply chains and untrustworthy cold chains led to the advice that all meat had to be done well, but that's outdated advice that would not develop nowadays.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.

As far as I understand it, there is actually a feedback loop as well: the beef is treated with chemicals that kill all bacteria, even the neutral ones, leaving an otherwise open breeding ground for unsafe ones to thrive.

how does one safely prepare raw ground beef?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

By grinding it fresh under controlled conditions

Though according to experts, there's still a health risk, like raw egg.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Fascinating, thank yoh for explaining

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

italians and other europoors eat completely raw or undercooked meats every now and then, 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)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I never heard of raw chicken or raw pork. Seasoned pork (dry cured smoked salami) yes, but that's wouldn't classify as raw.
