Bacon and Egg with fried rice..That is not at all an American breakfast. Bacon, eggs, toast and hashbrowns would be an American breakfast. Sausage instead of bacon is fine. Canadian is the same but with backbacon instead for the meat. Once in a while more than one meat but rarely.

Kind of like what American Pizza is in Europe. They make things called "American" that no American has ever eaten. Pizza with French fries on it? Who eats that? Americans would be so confused. That's purely a European thing. It should be called "pretentious European pizza" because they are embarrassed that they like it there and so call it American so that they can act like they are eating something that we eat.
Or Café Americano, it's a style of coffee effectively unavailable in the US.

Haha maybe its not really. Hmm actually it was written in their menu.. Maybe a combination of American and Filipino breakfast. Just my two cents..

It sounds good, though @Joyfano, with fake bacon, of course
I had forgotten about that bizarre "American" pizza. What country was that? I remember being like "ewwwwwww". Now to be fair, one time Scott and I went to Wendy's and we were told that we could just order a "vegetarian sandwich" because Wendy's supposedly had a corporate policy about it. We were told it would be cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, and mayo on a bun. What we received was cheese and french fries on a bun. We never ordered that way again.

@Dominica Italy. Lago Magiorre by the lake shore was one place that we saw it.

I've never ever seen or heard of that. Sounds disgusting. I'd have assumed an American pizza is thick crust (which I'd probably call a Chicago pizza), whilst an Italian one is thin crust?

It's a diluted espresso. Do you not drink that or is your coffee always filtered?
-
@Carnival-Boy by far the most famous American pizza is the paper thin NYC style pizza. That is what we are famous for. Insanely thin. Much thinner than anything that I have seen in Italy.
-
Chicago style "deep dish" pizza is generally available in very limited areas. Both the super thin NYC and super thick Chicago styles are regional.
The bulk of the US does the "medium crust" that is very similar to Italy and that pizza culture is centered in NY around the Utica and Albany areas (Mohawk Valley.) The US is actually nearly identical to Italy in pizza.

Always filtered. Always. Only if you order an espresso do you get something made from espresso. Café Americano is effectively unavailable here. You could go to any espresso shop and explain what to do and they'd do it, but none of them will have any idea what you mean by asking for Café Americano and no standard drink is made that way.
-
You can get Alsatian style pizza in the US too. Only we just call it a crispy crust normally. But surprisingly similar.

I was reading in yesterday's paper about deep fried pizza, which I hadn't heard of before.
http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jul/24/deep-fried-pizza-just-like-make-in-naplesThe dry-fry method also discussed in the article is similar to how I cook pizza at home. I start the pizza in a cast-iron frying pan on the stove and then finish it in a very hot oven (not under the grill) for five minutes. I've had rows on food forums about pizza before that would make a Spiceworks RAID 5 discussion seem tame. My cousin now has an outdoor, wood-fired oven that cost thousands and has made me very jealous. I've yet to be invited to try it though.
-
Have never seen deep fried pizza in the US. But the way that they do deep dish is kind of like frying. It's a really deep oil filled cast iron skillet that gets super hot so basically fries the bottom side of the pizza.

Happy Weekend to everyone
