Entry tags:frosting, icing, it is not a waste of butter and sugar, uk

If I knew you were wanking, I'd have iced a cake
Over in [info]hp_britglish, schemingreader makes the mistake of asking what the stuff you spread on top of a cake is called. Hint: It ain't "frosting".

[info]oncelikeshari thinks that butter icing is evil and wrong and should be stopped, or that it doesn't exist. I'm not entirely sure.

Either way, I want cake. :(

Short, but sweet.

I can sort of see what she means... Potatoes are an ingredient in several British dishes, or are a common side dish as opposed to, say, rice or pasta. Maybe not "typically British" in the stereotypical "Yorkshire pudding and tea and Big Ben and tally-ho, old chap" sense, but -- you see potatoes a lot. And the potato was indeed first grown in the Americas.

I just the other day saw some related mini-micro Top Chef wankery. Except it was France. The contestants had to prepare a dish highlighting chicken, potatoes and onions to be judged by the French Culinary Institute, and the objection was something like "zomg potatoes aren't FRENCH they've only been there 200 years!"

Well, I don't think tomatoes are actually Italian either, but... :B

Correct. But the US has only had hamburgers, hot dogs, and apple pie for half the time of potatoes in France, and around the same as the tomato in Italy.

Well, but they're also an ingredient in a lot of French dishes and a lot of Spanish cooking and a bunch of other cuisines. I feel like the potato is global at this point.

..."Global Potato" would be an awesome band name.

I had to stare at your icon and turn my head completely to the side to identify it. My brain wouldn't process it. I'm afraid it's turned completely to icing FROSTING (Dammit, I'm American!) from this wank.
