ZOMG BRITISH FUD IS BAD!!!11!

My french teacher (being french) hates british food, but I say that there has to be one, or even more, redeeming aspect(s) about british food. It can't be all that bad, can it?.

Beans and toast for breakfast?

You don't boil pizza!

Well, it's not cheap and it's not good, but you you've got an obstructed colon---fuhgedaboutit.

I harbor "like" for the submitter's headline.

Not even a Bacon Butty?

/The Horror.

He sneak eats crisps like a mofo.

cueing "Into the Wild" theme music now...

Any dead squirrels, foxes, badgers and rabbits he comes across will become his dinner. He hopes that by cutting out processed foods his overall health and well-being will improve dramatically.

Eating any animal you find dead is hardly a way to improve your overall health.

You know what would be weird? If a british guy was the cook at a 7-Eleven on Gilligan's Island. And he talked like Jack Nicholson.

Sounds like a modern age Yule Gibbon...

Wiki --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_Gibbons

So he's channeling Euell Gibbons? (new window) He used to appear on the Tonight Show to tell people how they could eat stuff like crab grass and pine cones. (Well, I'm not sure if he ate those things specifically, but it was stuff along those lines.)

I'm just old enough to remember that commercial. (Lawn, off, etc.)

LittleSmitty: Beans and toast for breakfast?

That's a mexican cowboy breakfast.

/Well
//More along the refried beans with toast and black coffee for breakfast

Buuuuuuuuurn.

Well, parts of a pine tree are edible

Only if he had tits like Mary Jane.

That is a real British breakfast, NO KIDDING. Not to say it's the only breakfast, just sayin

"Every morning he will forage within a ten-mile radius of his home, seeking out field mushrooms, berries, nuts, bark, herbs, plants such as dandelions and daisies, and even roadkill."

If he's gonna eat wild mushrooms, he'd better be an accomplished mycologist.

Iron Chef Scottish: That joke is getting so tired.

Yes, but at least this time it's topical.

Ever wonder why Brits are always crazy about Indian, Polish and Chinese food?

Asura-HiME
Polish builders, cleaners, farm labourers and plumbers. Polish food? Not so much.

Bloody hell, how will he survive without pints of bitter?

Tom and Barbara Good, unavailable for comment.

Will he be in his bunk?

Is he allowed to steal forage from his neighbors' vegetable gardens? If so, he'll be all set.

Euell Gibbons' Grape Nuts ad. (new window)

How people from the country that brought us McDonalds can denigrate the country of fish and chips is utterly beyond me, but this cliche will obviously never die, so I'll address TFT instead -

Asura-HiME: Ever wonder why Brits are always crazy about Indian, Polish and Chinese food?

Hell. No.

The skill of Polish chefs is matched only by the marketing abilities of Polish restaurateurs:

Hey, don't knock kielbasa and klumpkes. Those things are delicious.


But I do get the feeling that the less delicious parts of Polish cuisine didn't survive the trip across the Atlantic, so I don't think we're exposed to the full range of "treats" in the US.

I suspect you're right. The desire to boil miscellaneous viscera to flavourless grey oblivion, then serve swimming in fat, seems to have been extinguished with its transplant.

British chocolate beats American chocolate by kilometers. I also have to chime in for beans on toast; it's simply delicious, although I don't eat it for breakfast--it's more of a supper thing.

Oh, Ribena also rocks. I'm not sure if any of that qualifies as food though.

FarkinNortherner: Hell. No.

Looks slightly better than the torta stands in Mexico, and those are deliciious:

Mexican food has some of this going on, but at least they add enough chiles and garlic to make it worth eating. Chiles and garlic cover up a multitude of sins

mmmm mmm menudo!

Dammit, now I want a carnitas torta for dinner.

What part of Mexico are those from originally?

lifeboat

LOL

Fish & chips, dummies.
...And some freaky fatty pork rind stuff they call crisps.

I saw Drennan on Nightline a while back. They showed how to cook roadkill.

Have you tried the Filipino kind with vinegar dipping sauce?

Surprisingly good.

Using Huckabee's squirrel recipe?

Bonzo_1116: What part of Mexico are those from originally?

If it's made out of pig, it's gotta be from the center of Mexico, basically you can't go wrong with Guadalajara, because they make awesome tortas. The best are tortas ahogadas, but they're soaked (not dipped) in chilly.

Mexico City, I'd stay away from that hellhole of a town.

Hey! My sister-in-law is from there....it's not all bad.

Aside from the weather, and the sheer assholeness of the general population... It's tolerable.
