Gee, I don't know... you got your apple pie, which, if it is in the
expected spiced, sliced-apples-in-thickened-juice form, is pretty
quintessentially American, and then you have your hot sauce, also more
or less an American concept. By hot sauce, I assume you mean some
combination of chilies and vinegar, yes? Tobasco, Trappey's, etc.?
'Spretty American...

I have to go with you there. It's an outrage! Vinegar doesn't belong in
such a dish; broccoli is too delicate. I would have used chopped, fresh
Scotch Bonnets.

Adamantius (mmmm, hot sauce on scrambled eggs...)
