It's Bleu Cheese dressing, not Blue

[DrPizza]

Just went through the buffalo wings thread.... For all you non-Buffalo area people, it's BLEU CHEESE, not Blue Cheese. And real Buffalo wings are just called wings (around Buffalo). I don't know wtf else you people in the rest of the country are eating that you need to have the extra word to help differentiate... bat wings? crow wings? eagle wings? Real wings have a sauce made of Frank's red hot and butter, and are served with bleu cheese, carrots and celery sticks.

I also like the idea of an ATOT western NY get together at Duff's or another appropriate bar with wings.. (can't remember who originally posted it in the other thread, but that thread was getting too long)

Hey are real "wings" battered or coated before they're fried?

 

[Mr0nslaught]

Ummm.... how about just regular ol' fried chicken? If someone said to me "Hey, let's go eat some wings", I would assume that they meant some sort of KFC-esque breaded fried chicken... unless we were going to Hooters or BW3's or something.

There are other kinds of wings besides buffalo wings... that is why we need the extra word.

DrPizza - there are other methods of preparation of chicken wings besides the Buffalo style. wings implies whatever the most popular is in that area. In your area, it's Buffalo Wings. Around here, its fried. etc. etc.

Just because the word can be translated into English doesn't mean that the English version is correct.
This is especially true of foods of french origin....
examples: flambe (we don't say flame), chocolate mousse (we don't say "chocolate foam"), pate, ...

So, when you go to a restaurant, feel free to order the snails and look like an moron. I'll order the escargot.

So you only translate half the item? Why are you calling it cheese if you want to be so true to the food's roots - it's fromage. As others have pointed out - there are other types of wings. If someone had said they wanted wings were I grew up, it would imply fried chicken wings - in the area I live now, it implies old bay wings.

Hmm. I just went to my fridge and my salad dressing container says "BLUE" not "Bleu" and the Frenchy side (I'm Canadian) says "Fromage Bleu"

Blue Cheese sounds perfectly correct to me!

ehem,

That is all.

So these are the things you nitpick about when you're from upstate. When where you're from only has a bar food as it's claim to fame, I guess it's ok...

He's being an elitist about BUFFALO WINGS of all things.

 

[RagingBITCH]

It's always been called buffalo or hot wings around here. Wow you live near Buffalo, you get to skip the extra word!

 

[GasX]

It is BLUE CHEESE.

If you go to France, it is FROMAGE BLEU

Just because the marketing people at Kraft are too stupid to figure it out, doesn't mean you have to buy into that crap too...

it's blue cheese, if its bleu cheese in the US it refers specifically to cheese from france

Why mix French and English? Fromage bleu, or blue cheese.
