I'm guessing this board's mostly populated by Americans, I wanted to see what you thought of a local delicacy from my area of the UK.

The chicken parmo or parmesan. Not the same as the chicken parmesan you're probably used to.

Flattened, breaded, fried chicken breast.
Bechamel sauce (preferably thick).
Cheese.

Cook in oven until cheese is melted and serve with fries and salad.

immigrant here, id rather just have a pasty(not that vomit inducing classic shit you have, the pork and apple one or the beef empanada version).

Or some doner.

Doner's always good, but if I get a pasty, it has to be Greggs.

>> No.6391943

Looks like something you'd eat after a night of very heavy drinking.

Like the sort of thing you wouldn't dare eat unless you were trashed.

The only real difference between the two is that we tend to use a red sauce instead of a bechamel, and we treat it as a fancier food, so you'd probably get potatoes rather than fries.

Personally, I think it looks solid as take-out food, though I suspect it's a little disappointing when you're not drunk.

Why does neither version of Chicken Parmesan include Parmesan cheese? The American Italian variety has melted mozzerella, not parmesan

>>6390031
What the hell is wrong with you? Greggs are literally the worst pastries available, including the pasties.

>In 2007, North Yorkshire Trading Standards conducted a survey of 25 fast food dishes. A large parmo with chips and salad contains about 2600 calories and 150g of fat.

It's actually "Parmigiana" with means it's from Parma, not about the cheese. We (dumb anglos) just dumbed it down to "Parmesan" since that's a word that we know how to pronounce.

>> No.6392014

>>6392004
It doesn't help that that's the same reason the cheese is called Parmagiano ("Parmesan")

I'm from the same part of England and I personally think they are overrated. It's embarrassing how much people go on about them.

So, it's sort of equivalent to our Carne Asada Fries.
A massive slab of food you eat after a night of heavy drinking.
I'd love to trade you some carne asada fries for one of those.....

It's the same kind of thing, bro.
Food for drunks. That's all it is. If you eat carne asada fries any other time than when you're either drunk, or hungover, you're just a fatty. Same with their chicken parm. That said, I'm sure carne asada fries taste way the hell better than their drunk food. I have a feeling their chicken parm is probably woefully underseasoned.

>> No.6392590

>>6392583
I get carne asada fries sober because they're delicious all the time. I get poutine when drunk. Idk if I'd get that chicken parmo shit even if I was drunk though. It looks horrible.

>> No.6392597

>>6391961
Because "Parmesan" means "Native from the city of Parma".
Hence "Chicken Parmesan" means "Chicken on the style of the city of Parma" and "Parmesan Cheese" means "Cheese in the style of the city of Parma".

immigrant takeaways are equally and uniformly shit as well lad
