 Sp> I suspect that while the kebab is not German, the German Kebab is.. kind

I mean, that's been my entire point. I didn't expect it to be particularly controversial, other than if/when I push to say that the German Kebab is as German as potato dishes.

Hah! That does seem like an entertaining way to put it. Though Emulsified High-Fat Offal Tubing is clearly a tastier way to phrase it. (kidding, of course, though it _does_ have a lot of adjectives, and "British" might have negative connotations for food things, for some people)

 Sp> We have similar here in "asian" restaurants.  They bear no resemblence to

Yeah, makes sense. Though I'm not sure if I really have a firm mental image on what Australian food is, beyond the, "throw a shrimp on the barbie and drink a Foster's" that's probably as fair as American food being McDonald's and cheese product that comes from a can. And probably some light beer, but
I'm honestly not sure which American beers make it out of the country.
