Have I told you I live just in front of a McDonalds? If I walk left, I

Sometimes I go and fetch my lunch (the main meal over here) from there.

Not at all. What you eat in there are cheap imitations of Mexican food. I
never eat at Taco Bell when I am in the States.

Chinese gives me migraine. It's the monosodium glutamate. There must be
restaurants that don't use it, but while there are excellent and
well-priced Indian eateries around, I won't be looking to see.

You are British, right? I quite enjoyed Indian restaurants in Britain. It is
not difficult to find them excellent, and as you point out, well priced.

Yup, British. Staid, pompous and reserved.
The first Indian restaurant opened here two-hundred years ago. That's
older than fish and chips! They seem to be going through a phase of
getting much better. A lot of fooderies are. Must be all the TV chef
programmes.

This question stumped me cuz I really don't know what is American and

So I went to meals.com and selected "American" from the drop down list

I narrowed it down to "meat" recipes... You can always tell when it's
an American food by how it's name. For example, "Aloha Pork
Meatloaf". hehehe.

of these dishes in restaurants like Tony Roma's (spelling?).

mention some?
Pot roast is my favorite. Is that American or British? I don't know.
This question stumped me cuz I really don't know what is American and
what isn't.
So I went to meals.com and selected "American" from the drop down list
in the search box. Got quite a good long list.
I narrowed it down to "meat" recipes... You can always tell when it's
an American food by how it's name. For example, "Aloha Pork
Meatloaf". hehehe.
So, meals.com, huh? I'll have a look and see. I wonder if one can find some
of these dishes in restaurants like Tony Roma's (spelling?).
a few, I imagine.
I found out tonight that turkeys are indigenous to north america, so I
guess we could say that's an American food.

I do not want to sound nationalistic, but turkeys are indigenous of Mexico,
actually. North America is correct also, but doesn't include the US.

There are two criteria to know that. In the political one Mexico is in North
America. In the geographical one, Central America starts in the Tehuantepec
isthmus (where Mexico is narrower. It includes the Maya territories. Aztecs
lived in North America, whatever the criterion taken. The Free Trade
Agreement is for the countries of North America.

No, I shouldn't say it depends. You would have to travel far south in Mexico
to be in Central America in the geographical sense. Most of the country in
both cases is in North America. What you can say is that geographically
speaking, Mexico includes part of Central America.

I didn't know there were "culinary" turkeys, and non-culinary ones. Aztecs
used to eat turkey and I think they can be called culinary. Aztecs lived in
North America.

I invented the term. Farm-bred turkeys were evolved from a wild species
other than the one found in the USA. (That's the one the whiskey's named
after.) At least, at this distance form the article, that's what I'm
remembering.
That's not to say that people don't eat wild ones, once they've caught
them. Or that in places they don't breed them. They occur down into
Mexico, so they may be the ones the Aztecs ate.
I haven't checked on how many species of turkey there are in the
Americas (it would be most unusual for there to be only one), or where
they live. There's only the one as far down as northern Mexico.
There must be a good ornithology site for me to waste my time on. Maybe
I'll get around to it later. :)

turkey
either of two species of birds in the family Meleagrididae (order
Galliformes). The best known is the common turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; see
photograph photograph: Male common turkey (Meleagris gallopavo),
displaying), a native game bird of North America but widely domesticated for
the table. The other species is Agriocharis (or Meleagris) ocellata, the
ocellated turkey. For unrelated but similar birds, see bustard (Australian
turkey); megapode (brush turkey); snakebird (water turkey).
Domestication of the common turkey was probably begun by the Indians of
Pre-Columbian Mexico. The birds were first taken to Spain about 1519, and
from Spain they spread throughout Europe, reaching England in 1541. When the
bird became popular in England, the name turkey-*****, formerly used for the
guinea fowl of Islamic (or "Turkish") lands, was transferred to it. English
colonists then introduced European-bred strains of the turkey to eastern
North America in the 17th century. Turkeys were mainly bred for their
beautifully coloured plumage until about 1935, after which the breeding
emphasis changed to their meat qualities.
Races of the common turkey found today in Mexico and in the southeastern
and southwestern United States differ slightly in feather markings and in
rump colour, but all are basically dark, with iridescent bronze and green
plumage. Adult males have a naked, heavily carunculated (bumpy) head that is
normally bright red in colour but turns to white overlaid with bright blue
when the birds are excited. Other distinguishing features of the common
turkey are a long red fleshy ornament (called a snood) that grows from the
forehead over the bill; a fleshy wattle growing from the throat; a tuft of
coarse, black, hairlike feathers (known as a beard) projecting from the
breast; and more or less prominent leg spurs. The male turkey, or gobbler,
or tom, may be 130 cm (50 inches) long and weigh 10 kg (22 pounds), though
average weight is less. Female turkeys, or hens, generally weigh only half
as much as the males and have less warty heads than do the males.
Domesticated strains of the common turkey, developed for their fine-tasting
flesh, may be much heavier.
Roast turkey in many European countries has long been a customary Christmas
dish. In the United States the bird is especially associated with the
holiday of Thanksgiving. Turkey production has thus tended to be seasonal,
though in the United States and some other countries, ready-to-cook, lean,
boned turkey is available in rolls any time of the year.
The wild turkey prefers woodlands near water. It eats seeds, insects, and an
occasional frog or lizard. When alarmed it may run rapidly to cover, but it
can fly strongly only for short distances (about 0.4 km, or 0.25 mile).
Formerly diminished under hunting pressure, M. gallopavo has come back well
under various state game management programs in the United States.
In courtship display the male spreads his tail, droops his wings and shakes
the quills audibly, retracts his head, struts about, and utters rapid
gobbling sounds. He assembles a harem, and each hen lays 8-15 brownish
spotted eggs in a hollow in the ground. The young (poults) hatch in 28 days.
The ocellated turkey, of Central America, is smaller than M. gallopavo. It
has a blue head with reddish yellow bumps, bright-tipped feathers, almost
peacocklike, and, in addition to the long bill wattle, a yellow-tipped knob
on the crown. It has never been domesticated. See also fowl.
