I ordered chicken and waffles at a small diner one time, it was my first time trying it. My server gave me half a chicken (literally) that had been deep fried and a pile of waffles that had to be at least 6 inches high. Best $13 I've ever spent but I've been afraid to order them ever since

A side of chicken gravy would make it complete.

[-] Xyre@lemmus.org 3 points 2 hours ago

Having grown up where gravy was the norm, it hurts every time I see a restaurant serving it without gravy as an option.

Sweet things and meat is very strange to see from the UK perspective

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Orange/Lemon chicken?

Teriyaki anything?

Sweet and Sour pork?

Hawaiian pizza?

Lua pig?

You're talking to a Brit mate. They're not known for their culinary excursions.

Plus, half of those were invented in the US.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 5 points 3 hours ago

You mean food with any amount of flavor or spices?

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 1 points 1 minute ago

Um, Tikka Masala is basically the national dish of the UK, they definitely enjoy flavor and spices in all kinds of curry dishes too

I dunno, I’ve seen what a full English looks like! :)

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Just piling on, mint jelly on lamb? Honey or cherry glaze on ham? Applesauce with pork chops?

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 hours ago

do people in the UK not like things like Teriyaki, or like americanized Chinese food like orange chicken?

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 1 points 2 hours ago

They definitely exist here, waffles just come across as quite dessert-coded to us. British Chinese cuisine is its own separate adaptation of Chinese cuisine though, rather than just being American Chinese.

Midwesterner here.... It's weird to me too.

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

You guys got no place to talk with some of your creations. And especially some of the oddball names.

This just two otherwise regular foods served together.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Very common in Chicago. You can get the basic or get some real posh ones without much effort

USAmerican here - I’ve tried that chicken waffle thing twice, and it’s pretty revolting. 1/10 would rather go hungry.

Tbf, I hate all syrup. Sorry, Canada

Ah, so you just can't taste well. What a shame. Disabilities should never be held against anyone, you can't help an inability to taste.

[-] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

Wait, chicken and waffles come with maple syrup too?

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

This is a must.

[-] nemonic187@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

They sure do in my kitchen. :)

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 3 points 2 hours ago

Maple syrup is my favorite way. A local place used to do a cayenne and black pepper maple syrup, and it was delicious!

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 hours ago

I’ve never done tendies from scratch, but can make a good batch of nuggies with a bit of panko.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

tendies
nuggies

~/s~

[-] nemonic187@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Oh yeah, I have a toddler, so those aren’t from scratch. But the waffle is. I love that little waffle iron!
