Subject: RE: BS: What's root beer?
Allan, this should be another thread.
Probably not many foods that we do not share, but the cooking, names and frequency of use may vary. The distinctions are becoming less and less as we both have adopted Indian, Chinese, Hungarian, Indian (East), Mexican, Indonesian, Indo-Chinese, Japanese etc. etc. cuisines for our restaurant and/or take-out meals.
Nothing like a good Chinese stir-fry with mangos on the side, Baklava for desert and perhaps an espresso! Of course English "chips"=American "French fries" soldiers on.
In the past, Marmite was considered English, but now that the Best Foods cgl. owns the name, it is on all the grocers shelves here as well.

But getting back to root beer- not handled in MacDonalds, Taco Bell or Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets, so has largely disappeared. This is the REAL international cuisine!
