AmE 'stuffing' or 'dressing' = BrE 'stuffing', I should think -- i.e.
breadcrumbs or the with seasonings that go inside a roasted turkey or,
increasingly nowadays, are cooked separately and served with the bird.

AmE 'breading' is the coating of breadcrumbs (etc.) on fried chicken or
other fried food. Also known as 'standard breading', 'bound
breading', 'paner à l'anglaise'. The food is coated lightly with flour,
dipped in egg wash, then in bread crumgs, then fried.

Interestingly I don't think there's a BrE word for this - we'd just say 'in
breadcrumbs'. Of course, corporate weaselspeak for this these days is 'in
crumb' - just in case we sue them if we find there's no bread in the stuff.

Well, we just normally say 'fried chicken'. The others are terms of
(culinary) art. You might find 'breaded' or 'in breading' a restaurant
menu, but not the other terms that I used above.

Here's a recipe from the BBC that calls it 'breaded', one of many that
Google turns up in .uk
http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/breadedchickenescalo_88767.shtml

It does, however, appear that .uk use of the word 'breading' in this
connection is exceedingly rare.

Falkirk has a Redding--so the CA one may be named after that, rather

Falkirk has a Redding--so the CA one may be named after that, rather
than the English one.
There's a bit more drama and mystery on this one than I usually find for
placenames. Somewhat conflicting yet overlapping stories:

Element 1)
A Yankee named Pierson Barton Reading -- apparently pronounced
"redding" -- got a large land grant from the Mexican (Californian)
governor in 1844, near the present town of Redding. Copy of the land
grant decree is on the Web. He mapped out the town in 1862.

Element 2)
The town was founded by Pierson Reading, but at the same time, the
powerful railroad wanted to make it their northern terminus. Supposedly
their agent was named Benjamin Redding and he wanted the name spelled
his way. The city website says

the legislature wanted to name the town Reading
after its founder. The railroad was not happy with
this choice and would not recognize the name. They
wanted the town named after their agent, Redding.
Finally in 1880, everyone gave in and the town was
given the railroad's choice of names

This entire second element smacks of legend, but it would explain why
the change of spelling from Reading to Redding. Personally, I'd be
satisfied if the Benjamin character vanished and it was simply found
that the railroad wanted a phonetic spelling for its major new station.

Reading has/had an EPL team, and it's been shown here in Canada on Saturday
mornings. That's how I learned the pronunciation.

Another city here has a suburb called "Gloucester," pronounced glow-chester,
so becoming accustomed to the English pronunciation has been more difficult.

Then there is Stratford, Ontario, home of the copycat theatrical festival,
which has its own Thames River, also pronounced "temms."

I wasn't sure (yes, I could have just taken your word for it), so I just
called my best friend (since age 10) who was born in PA, went to school
in Mich., and then moved back to PA. She says "Redding" for both the
town and the railroad.

If I ever play Monopoly again, I'll have to remember that. I've always
said "reeding." Live and learn...

I wasn't sure (yes, I could have just taken your word for it), so I just
called my best friend (since age 10) who was born in PA, went to school
in Mich., and then moved back to PA. She says "Redding" for both the
town and the railroad.
If I ever play Monopoly again, I'll have to remember that. I've always
said "reeding." Live and learn...
If you play with the big boys the next time around, the general method
I learned from my aunt, who was a master, is to immediately
concentrate on obtaining the game's first three-property monopoly,
ignoring acquisitions of the Railroads, which are far too expensive in
the beginning of the game, the Utilities, which aren't worth
diddley-squat, the overpriced Broadway and Park Avenue pair beginners
like so much and the Baltic Avenue slums. then start the process of
depleting everyone's funds as quickly as possible by building house
after house, followed by those lovely hotels, even before your
opponents know what hit them. A detail is that the properties towards
the end of each row are slightly better buys than the ones at the
beginning, but sometimes you have to take what you can get.
If you don't play cutthroat and you're up against intelligent players,
a game will drag on for days, so my advice is to go for the jugular.

WIWAL, the competitive aspect of the game wasn't quite that bad -- until
a male got involved (one of the "big boys" you mentioned). Then, of
course, the game took on all the charm of a knife fight in the alley.

"He"? I thought it was a sheila.
Wikipedia attempts to straighten out the tangled history in its articles
"Monopoly" and "The Landlord's Game." Elizabeth Magie did patent her
game in 1904, and from the picture you can see the resemblance to
Charles Darrow's "Monopoly," dated early 1930s. In 1935 she sold the
rights to Parker Brothers for $500. Lawsuits, conspiracy charges, etc.,
ensued.

I wonder how many AmE speakers realise that the UK town of Reading is
pronounced "redding"?
Not all Americans are culturally cut off from Europe. I suspect I have
known your tidbit, Mike, from age 16, 20 tops.
How many know how to pronounce "Reading, Pennsylvania"? But, really,
yesterday, I heard the duly respected Fareed Zakaria use the
"(b)reading" pronunciation for the "reading" verb, while interviewing a
guest.
I would suspect that the number (if the number represents a percentage
of population) of Americans that know how to pronounce "Reading" (UK)
is roughly the same as the number of Brits who know how to pronounce
"Kissimmee" (FL). Perhaps a bit lower since so many Brits have been
in Kissimmee, but they certainly don't seem to know how to pronounce
it before they get here.

Why anyone would blame a foreigner for not knowing how to pronounce a
local name that is not pronounced as it would seem to require is
beyond me, though.

No, but that seems to be the version that tourists come up with. It's
"kiss-sim-ee" with emphasis on the "sim".

For those not aware of why this comes up so much, a tourist booking a
room in the Orlando/Disney World area will often find he has a room in
Kissimmee. Many of the hotels that are convenient to Disney are
located in Kissimmee. Disney itself is located in Lake Buena Vista,
Florida. Orlando is just the nearest large city, and the airport is
in Orlando.

Visual representation of a word is always difficult, but I would
disagree with your version. "Ki" could be the sound in "kite", but
that's not it. Natives really do say the "kiss" then "sim", then
"mee". Scrunched together, but 3 syllables. That "kiss" is almost a
"cuss" the way some do it. Whether you say "cuss-sim-ee" or
"kiss-sim-ee", you'll be closer than any 2-part representation.

No, but that is quite often the way it is pronounced. As a result,
when the Houston Astros farm team was moved to Kissimmee in 1985, the
name of the team became the Osceola Astros. (Kissimmee is in Osceola
County.) When the team name was changed to the Cobras in 1995, they
became the Kissimmee Cobras.

Interestingly I don't think there's a BrE word for this - we'd just say 'in
breadcrumbs'. Of course, corporate weaselspeak for this these days is 'in
crumb' - just in case we sue them if we find there's no bread in the stuff.
DC, really, truly going now.
Waitrose's fresh fish counter regularly has on sale breaded haddock, breaded
sole and breaded cod. I'm pretty sure I've seen the word on other
pre-prepared food as well.
As an adjective, for sure, but not the noun 'breading'.

AmE 'breading' = BrE 'stuffing'?
AmE 'stuffing' or 'dressing' = BrE 'stuffing', I should think -- i.e.
breadcrumbs or the with seasonings that go inside a roasted turkey or,
increasingly nowadays, are cooked separately and served with the bird.
AmE 'breading' is the coating of breadcrumbs (etc.) on fried chicken or
other fried food. Also known as 'standard breading', 'bound
breading', 'paner à l'anglaise'. The food is coated lightly with flour,
dipped in egg wash, then in bread crumgs, then fried.
Interestingly I don't think there's a BrE word for this - we'd just say 'in
breadcrumbs'. Of course, corporate weaselspeak for this these days is 'in

Not common, but I have seen and heard "crumbing", ie "crumb" as a verb.

No, batter is batter and breading is breading as far as I'm concerned. And
just being dredged in seasoned flour or cornmeal is yet a third (and
arguably a fourth) thing.

carried on doing so. And I didn't.

Turkey breast fillets don't bear much resemblance to their source. For
authenticity, schnitzels should be veal but kosher veal is practically
impossible to find and then only at the price of a small house.

The standard "Wienerschitzel" in Austria these days is made from pork. In
most half-way decent restaurants you can also get the genuine veal
version if you pay a bit more. At home, we (and other fat-conscious
people) use (hammered) turkey breast meat. Turkey schnitzels are also
available in restaurants, but are mostly served non-breaded in various
ways.

The secret of schnitzel cookery is to make sure there is enough salt (+
whatever) mixed in the flour. Diesbezüglich MYMV.

Turkey breast fillets don't bear much resemblance to their source. For
authenticity, schnitzels should be veal but kosher veal is practically
impossible to find and then only at the price of a small house.

I must try that, though I'm not sure if you can get stuffing mix in
Austria since much of the bread goes stale fairly quickly. On a similar
note, I did read in a magazine that a well-known Austrian club footballer
mixes parsley with the flour when he prepares Wienerschnitzel.

Must try that. Better coating than breadcrumbs or any shop-bought mix -
but not as tasty as sesame seeds - is matzah meal (medium).

Of course it would be better, but shop-bought is easy and quick for
those times when you don't have much time and better than plain breadcrumbs.

Well, that's partway there. I must say that the best Wienerschnitzel
I've ever eaten was in Austria very near the German border in a not
particularly attractive-looking eatery. I think it was genuine
Kalbsschnitzel.

I dip turkey schnitzels in sesame seeds which is not strictly breading,
either.
That sounds scrummy. How do you get the sesame seeds to stick on?
First dip in flour, then in beaten egg, then sesame seeds. Very scrummy.
And shallow fry?
That's how I do it but I suppose one could deep fry them (I never deep
fry anything these days). They cook very quickly if you bash the
turkey as flat as possible.
This produced an amusing image until I realised that it was advisable to
ensure that the turkey was dead before commencing operations.
Turkey breast fillets don't bear much resemblance to their source. For
authenticity, schnitzels should be veal but kosher veal is practically

We get the occasional pommy cookbook (and TV programme) over here and
from them, I get the impression that turkey bits and pieces are quite
common over there. Is that right?

Turkey is eaten over here but mainly as a roast fowl. I haven't seen
very many pieces for sale in shops but I'm sure I could find them if I
looked. Chicken is everywhere.

Sainsbury's used to sell turkey pieces. I remember a whole leg
costing a pound, which was good value if you prefer 'red' to 'white'
meat. Maybe they still do, but I gave up on supermarket meat a while
ago. I have to drive to another town a few miles away where there's a
butcher who gets his meat from London's Smithfield meat market in the
early hours of each Tuesday morning. The only turkey they sell, apart
from whole birds, are boned rolls made from a mixture of red and white
meats. They are delicious, but as my wife is now seriously vegetarian
the dog and I have to eat one ourselves after I've cooked it. We have
a turkey week each couple of months.

I think maybe I picked that up from SWMBO. She's never liked red meat
except for two specific dishes: steak au poivre, and calves' liver
poached in orange juice with banana slices (an "Elle" cookbook recipe
that is utterly delicious). Any meat on the bone (turkey or chicken
legs, pork ribs etc.) is also "red" to her. Now she's vegetarian I've
once again discovered how difficult it is to cook for one and have a
varied diet.

We have to drive to London for our meat but I quite like having a direct

same family. I am always very envious when I visit the US and see kosher
meat products readily available in most supermarkets.

Don't let's forget the piece of cod that passeth all understanding.

See if you can get it diced: it's still visibly meaty, but also visibly
low-fat. Makes very good curries and such. (Not that anybody with my
pretensions to green credentials should be seen dead buying ordinary
commercial turkey ...) Also good for low-fat curry are the drumsticks
sold separately over here for a quid each, but they take a few minutes'
work to prep.

[...turkey...]

See if you can get it diced: it's still visibly meaty, but also
visibly low-fat. Makes very good curries and such. (Not that anybody
with my pretensions to green credentials should be seen dead buying
ordinary commercial turkey ...) Also good for low-fat curry are the
drumsticks sold separately over here for a quid each, but they take
a few minutes' work to prep.
So they're still a quid apiece. Not much inflation there in five or
more years.
I was being imprecise, but that's broadly true. IIRC, 99p until about a
month ago, now quite suddenly £1.25. I do try to stick to free-range,
though, and these aren't; so I only buy any bit of turkey once a month
or so.

AmE 'breading' = BrE 'stuffing'?
No, crumb coating or batter-coating.
Could be batter, then? The plot thickens...
Think panko....

When it's done to shrimp, shredded coconut is often used instead of bread....r

Can be. "Breaded shrimp" particularly, is likely to be battered as much as
it's breaded; a thin batter is used to hold on the crumbs rather than the
egg or milk wash Roland mentioned.
