Some foods seem to be common everywhere ....
No !!! Not macdonalds !! ffs
But doughnuts ...they seem to be pretty common all over the world in various forms ..
Any other foods you can think of that are all over the place ?

a few on here too it seams lol
bolt
Big chips and any food that requires a great deal of stirring
I reckon all cultures have a one-pot-hot-pot and most have a baked carb of some kind - although some have a wet-stirred carb like corn meal.
Often the 'poor food' of a place is the tastiest.
Did you knwo that our most loved 'British' food is all actually foriegn? Romans brought in roasting meat, potatoes are a South American plant, beer developed all over the place but our originated in N Europe, domesticated animals were brought across from the European/Scandanavian mainland (UK food animals were never domesticated fully), that rosemary in your lamb and the mint in the mint sauce came from mediteranean and N African travellers.
We had cabbage and beans. Even rabbits were brought here for hunting.
I guess every country has an Omelette of some kind dunno
Interesting stuff foxy. I guess we had more than just cabbage and beans though, must have been some meat here lol Deer? Wolves? Hares? Cant say history of food is my strong point but due to the GCSE system back when I was in school I could tell you a fair bit about Custers last stand :huh:

I bet that's useful at a pub quiz biggrin
I think most meat then was hunted. We tried to domesticate cows but they stayed too frisky and big. Bet it was tasty though - and all organic of course :D
florette dunno
nearest I could get to flowers
Chicken...
Question for you - why are salt and pepper the only dry condiments on everyone's table in the UK and quite possibly Europe?
Why not ground coriander, cumin, mace? Just a thought starter.
