Or is that typical Americana cuisine????
Never heard of Lawry's. Roast beef with mash[ed potatoes?] and sweet corn would be American but not necessarily typical--it might be something you'd cook for a Sunday evening special dinner with family, but it's certainly not something you'd eat every day.

Mashed potatoes and corn are somewhat common sides, though. A real roast beef is for special occasions.
