You know--I actually prefer Classic Italian and German food over English food.
So I have to ask--What is new in the English culinary arts?
Very little German food in NOLA. Plenty of Italian. NOLA is the home of the muffaletta sandwich, invented by a Sicilian immigrant. Description from the wiki page:
A traditional muffuletta consists of one muffuletta loaf, split horizontally. The loaf is then covered with a marinated olive salad, then layers of capicola, salami, mortadella, emmentaler, and provolone. The sandwich is sometimes heated through to soften the provolone.[2] The size of the muffuletta is enough to feed more than one person, and many stores sell quarter or half-muffulettas.
The olive salad is considered the heart of the sandwich, and consists primarily of olives, along with celery, cauliflower and carrot. The ingredients are combined, seasonings are added, covered in olive oil and allowed to combine for at least 24 hours. Prepared olive salad for muffulettas can also be bought by the jar in New Orleans grocery stores.
And its been time tested for over 100 years, not like that new wave British food that was only whipped up a few decades ago.
