Baseball, Sizzling Canines, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet…within the UK – Bredemarket
I wanted a weblog submit thought for Monday, when my U.S. “hungry folks” will probably be satiating themselves at Memorial Day cookouts.
So I considered a Seventies feel-good U.S. business that is unnecessary to our pals (in the event that they nonetheless like us) throughout the pond.
For starters, the UK received’t watch baseball on Monday. They’ll watch cricket.
And sizzling canines? Folks at a cricket match usually tend to devour sausage sandwiches, or fish and chips, or curry dishes, or pies.
Talking of pies, it’s not what you suppose.
“Steak and Kidney Pie – It’s a traditional British pie crammed with chunks of beef steak and kidneys cooked in a wealthy gravy.
“Hen and Mushroom Pie – This pie is made with tender items of rooster mixed with mushrooms in a creamy sauce, which is then encased in pastry.
“Cornish Pasty – Though Cornish Pasty shouldn’t be a pie, many confer with it as a handheld pie. It’s a pastry crammed with diced meat, potatoes, and greens.
“Shepherd’s Pie – A minced lamb or beef pie is topped with mashed potatoes on this preparation.”
And on and on by means of different meats, however no apple pie on the listing. (And overlook about pumpkin pie.)
Automobiles
Which brings us to the British equal of the Chevrolet. Within the Seventies, I’m not sure that Chevrolet was “America’s favourite automotive”—sister GM model Oldsmobile might have held that title numerically. However “Chevy” vied with Ford because the sentimental favourite within the Seventies.
At this time America’s favourite automotive is the Toyota.
However what of the UK? Clearly not everybody might afford a Rolls Royce. They had been shopping for Fords in 1975, primarily the Cortina and the Escort. I owned an Escort right here within the U.S. a few years later, however by no means owned a Cortina, a primarily UK auto associated to the Taurus.
At this time the UK’s favourite automotive is Volkswagen.
You’re feeling most secure of all.
