@AzulCrescent inb4 an american fried this rice?
@AzulCrescent that sounds fantastic
minor! @piku@blahaj.zone@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt have you ever heard of the cuisine known as indo-chinese(as in indian+chinese)?
some popular dishes include
hakka noodles (unrelated to hakka cuisine),
schezwan noodles(unrelated to sichuan cuisine, schezwan comes for sichuan),
chicken/gobi/whatever manchurian(unrelated to manchurian cuisine)
manchow soup(also unrelated to manchurian cuisine)

Aside from the ketchup, it sounds good.
@TourmaI have had those little hot dog octopus looking things in Austria for some reason.
little elf prince @dispencer@catboy.baby@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt asked my american boyfriend, he says it sounds delicious 
@AzulCrescent Honestly, the only part that I'm genuinely confused about is the drumstick. The rest sounds really good and makes complete sense.
@FutureLuddite @AzulCrescent Oh, fried chicken and rice is great together. We have a Laotian place that does a 1/4 chicken box with a sticky rice ball, and now I think of it, I haven't had my supper yet... 
I've never seen it with a drumstick, and I lived in Thailand for 4 years.
@AzulCrescent Half the items on Chinese & Japanese menus in the US are concoctions exclusive to this continent, so it's only fair that chefs and cooks on the other side of the Pacific make up their own cuissine to call 'American'. 
@raritastic@mastodon.online@AzulCrescent "you're telling me an american fried this rice?"
@AzulCrescent As an American I really really wish we had this on every street corner here. Chicken and waffles is a big deal in my town, though! 
@neia@fedi.ikeran.org@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt Among the many genders (of friend rice): egg, shrimp, and American
@AzulCrescent this sounds great, perhaps minus the ketchup (unless it's mixed with the usual liquid ingredients for coating the rice)
@AzulCrescent I didn't know what this was called but I've had this at a lot of restaurants. Whoever thought it up was a *genius*. It has gravy, too! Incredible.
@AzulCrescent I love how global interconnection leads to new and interesting dishes.
@AzulCrescent in uruguay "american" usually means with bacon, fried eggs and/or cheddar
@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt Confirmed: an American did not fry this rice!
@AzulCrescent I love dishes made with only the most cursed knowledge from a culture the states don't all the time only fair it comes around
@AzulCrescent Needs bacon and cheese. And a Diet Coke.
As an American, the only fried rice I really like is Filipino style garlic rice. But nothing about that dish sounds inherently wrong. I suspect the "homestyle" version would have scrambled eggs instead of a fried one.
Stellar 
(
era) @Stellar@mk.absturztau.be@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt same thing with french fries
@Stellar @AzulCrescent same story
Exept that this time it actually did come from france
@AzulCrescent that's a fun one! Similarly my colleague who actually was born in Naples and spent his entire childhood there keeps on laughing each time he mentions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naporitan pasta
tragus @therealkuu@chaos.social@AzulCrescent
recently learned of "german cake" and apprently it has 0 to do with germany and everything with some random sports guy called german who liked cake
@pointlessone@status.pointless.one@AzulCrescent This happens all the time.
French fries are not French, they’re Belgian at best.
One of the most popular Chinese dishes in the USA is General Tso's Chicken. In China no one knows who the General Tso is and never tasted his Chicken.
This is not an exhausting list.

^Turnabout is fair play^, i guess?
