ours is all drinks:

United States of America – Coffee, Cola, bourbon, Beer, Super-sized soda

  • By region:

  • New England - New England clam chowder, New England clam bake[/*:m:tqje3n0b]
  • The South - grits, corn bread, country fried steak, fried chicken, gumbo, barbecue[/*:m:tqje3n0b]

Pavlova generally doesn't have chocolate sauce...



For Australia, it's either Meat Pie or Vegemite on Toast, neither of which I can stand. Unless it's a home-made pie

I think that defeats the purpse - like how chocolate coated fruit isn't healthy.

It makes it a neutral food. Add bad stuff to healthy stuff makes it neutral - at least it should

Pavlova isn't really healthy anyway, it's full of cream and sugar but it's yummy

Actually egg whites.. not cream. You add whipped cream to the top with the fruit (if you want).
 
Alien said:
Yes I know that

The egg whites are full of sugar though!
No they aren't. The egg white is less than 1% sugar. It has a high sodium content though but is very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a very good source of Protein, Riboflavin and Selenium.
 
You add the sugar to the egg white, to make meringue! I'm sure you know how to make one.

Hey Vegemite is great! I love Vegemite! =[ Meat pie is mostly not meat anyway though. Hate meat pies.



Neutral food. Harhar.

Mmmm! All that is delicious.
 
Southern United States--Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits, sweet tea and a big ole slab of Red Velvet Cake..... Now that's good eating.....
