I wonder if the difference HarryT describes had arisen due to differences in dishes in the respective cultures. A lot of British dishes seem to have bed (e.g. of mash) under the main ingredient, while American cooking has grilled food, w/ a lot of vegetables on the side.
Watching something like MasterChef on the Beeb (via streaming) certainly shows how the food critics over there gather all the ingredients on the dish using knife & fork - makes sense w/ such dishes, b/c flavor might be too bland if you only eat the meat, for example. You don't see that as a lot w/ people tasting American dishes.
