I find it funny how some are jumping up and down screaming about how MG has stereo-typed things and then turn around to say that the main dish in the US is hotdogs, grits and okra...just adding to the stereotyping.

I haven't seen any of that, particularly the jumping or the screaming.

When I was in Yorkshire I had a local dish, Yorkshire pudding. I do the same when visiting, Chicago, Atlanta or wherever. I can get regular meat and potatoes at home. When I travel I don't look for the things that are the same so that I can compare that to home and complain where the place I'm visiting falls short. I look for the things that are different so that I can learn something.
