U.S.A We were told by several American friends that Sloppy Joes are the quintessential American meal, so gave it a go today. Sloppy Joes appear(unless we missed something) to be flavoured, slow-cooked mince served over a hamburger bun. As soon as I dished it up, I thought of those American High School Cafeteria meals, because it really was just slop! We kept looking for the veges! I guess in The States they would serve this with fries, but we just found it really boring, both in flavour and texture. Maybe it grows on you... On the plus side, I didn't get around to making pumpkin pie, so we figured the next most American pudding is banana splits. Needless to say, they went down well. I have added photos to prove it! We loved listening to The Star Spangled Banner (very stirring), then some fantastic country music, including Devil Went Down to Georgia!!!
