No doubt this survey was conducted by asking people emerging from fast food joints.

Tomorrow, you can see my study that concludes the exact opposite. It was conducted in Chelsea, Mayfair and the City by asking diners emerging from Michelin-starred restaurants.

What a load of absolute twaddle, written by lazy hacks and pedalled to twunts who believe anything they're fed (no pun intended) by newspaper editors.

Are you implying polling results are influenced by the pollsters?

We better get Ric Romero on the phone.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

New study shows that Britons prefer American fast food to greasy fish wrapped in yesterday's newspaper, black pudding, and spotted dick. Who knew?

Nobody, if TFA is anything to go by, since it doesn't say that at all.

/confused

Small world, one of my uni friends works there. Working for them lives up to the billing, apparently.

"I'm just trying to get some food, and this guy's asking me if I've got the clap!"

/obscure (I really think it is).

I got spotted dick once. Two weeks on penicillin cleared it up, though.

Probably since Chipppies started charging like elephants in heat for Haddock and/ or cod.

you never see a british restruant.

There is a reason for that

They like our food but don't like us. We must be the Mexicans of Great Briton.

Ahh, the downfall of the human race. We eat ourselves to death.

Maybe I AM LEGEND can really happen?

chippies > mcwhatever

you never see a british restruant.

Because the owners who'd spell it that way usually call it a cafe to avoid ridicule?

None of those food items were mentioned in the article at all, not once.

Awwwwhhhh ElPresidente, did your itty bittys get hurt?


Face it, you country is just as fat as the next get over it or get on a treadmill, either way stop crying over spilled lard.

Shocker

DRTFA

British Food is horrible.

/That is all.

overlord_mike: you never see a british restruant.

What the fark are you on about, big man ? For fark's sake, what a load of farking bollocks.

TsarDony: you never see a british restruant.

I was trying to come up with a witty retort, but alas you beat me to it.

Hats off to you sir!

"Now, do you have the spotted dick?"
"Nope, penicillin cleared it right up."

Spotted dick prepared correctly is delicious. Really.

Similarly black pudding and fish and chips. Therefore I concur with ElPresidente

overlord_mike: you never see a british restruant.

You do in Britain.

They only thought they did. Wait'll they get this:

I thought the national dish of Britain was a curry.

Spotted dick headlines are like the elementary school versions of good headlines. It sounds funny, you can make genitalia jokes, we get it. You can't stay 8 forever.

Don't forget Soused Hog's Face.

hachijuhachi sorry sir, not obscure... yes i actually watched the WHOLE movie.
RufusQ.BoecefusThey like our food but don't like us. We must be the Mexicans of Great Briton.
I just LOL'd.

"Few of the respondents blamed their government for rising levels of obesity, and blamed the variety of unhealthy food available on the shelves."

*sigh*

cause the government made you eat the food and the store shelves shoved the food down your throat.

grow some balls and personal responsibility.

Is Spotted Dick any good?

Really, I want to know. I have a can of it, and I'm a little apprehensive about opening it, being an American.

Any British farkers care to share their thoughts?

utter_bastard: I thought the national dish of Britain was a curry.

Oh man...I love teh curry.

i also love me teh fish and chips...

American Fast food?

Sure, now, which of those listed - burgers, chips, and pizza - are actually american?

NautACrazyAstro: Adman12: Say what you want about British cuisine, but they sure do know how to eat breakfast. (pops)

They only thought they did. Wait'll they get this:

Where are the beans?? The mushrooms?? I can't see a single tomato, and those sausages look a little suspect to me ....

/Still looks tasty though!

Adman12: Say what you want about British cuisine, but they sure do know how to eat breakfast. (pops)

They do indeed, but that video comes with a side of FAIL. "Vegetable oil" is totally not needed - you're supposed to cook everything in the bacon grease, which is why it tastes so damn good. It's also missing black pudding or blood pudding (depending on where you're from), and kidneys. And in some places, you also get "white pudding" or "fruit pudding". And don't forget the toast and marmalade. (In fairness, maybe the audio track says some of this - no sound on the work computer).

People rip on English cooking, but some of it is pretty damn tasty. But it's more "comfort food" as opposed to haute cuisine. Some of my favorites: Fish, chips, and mushypeas; salad cream (think miracle whip, but much much better); Cornish pasties; Steak & kidney pie; haggis (say what you want, but it's no grosser than generic supermarket-brand hot dog, and it's much spicier, and yes, I know it's not "English" per se); trifle; bangers & mash; toad in the hole (sausages and yorkshire pudding); yorkshire pudding itself; and of course, anything made by Cadburys. Dammit, now I'm hungry.

/"Oooh, I can't get enough of this blood pudding!"
//"The secret ingredient is blood."
///"Blood?! Ewwww..."

NautACrazyAstro: They only thought they did. Wait'll they get this:

Is that maple syrup or that fake "butter" shiat?

lol white people

man gordon's kitchen nightmares rock. i watch them all the time on the bbc and fox. he cracks me up.

Adman12: Say what you want about British cuisine, but they sure do know how to eat breakfast. (pops)

I'd almost rather eat a McMuffin that all that fried crap. Splash oil over the top of your eggs to cook them? What the hell is wrong with steam basting them? The mushrooms looked like they were being deep fried. Why not sauté them in a little bit of butter instead? Seriously, that looked like something you'd get at a truck-stop in the U.S.

Then again, I do love me some truck-stop food after a good bender...

True, but even after reading every Harry Potter book, and a life of watching Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, some Monty Python.. I have no idea what spotted dick is..

I read an article yesterday that said England has some of the best steak places in the world. British Farkers, is this true?

spotted dick

:thatisall:


spotted dick

/couldn't resist

Smarshmallow: NautACrazyAstro: They only thought they did. Wait'll they get this:

Warm. Maple. Syrup.

FilmBELOH20: Splash oil over the top of your eggs to cook them? What the hell is wrong with steam basting them?

Eww. Everything. Fried eggs should have crispy edges, not be a soggy gelatinous mess.

overlord_mike: you never see a british restruant (sic).

There is a reason for that

There are plenty of reasons. For starters, many Americans think McDonald's is a restaurant - if you do, you FAIL. British restaurants wouldn't have "drive thrus" because their food is not based on sticking shiat into a bun or a taco, so that fat-arsed lard-bucket Americans could stuff their faces from behind the wheel of their pickup trucks. Any time anyone in the US tries to open a British restaurant, you'll find it hidden deep inside a "quaint" British-themed "pub", with "food" prepared by a cack-handed, dimwitted, weasel-wanking farktard of a cook (not "chef") armed with a freezer and a microwave, who couldn't find the north pole on a globe.

(You may replace "British" with any other nationality bar "Mexican" and get a similarly accurate answer.)

So don't knock someone else's food unless you've been to the country of origin and tried it in a proper restaurant.

nopokerface: I read an article yesterday that said England has some of the best steak places in the world. British Farkers, is this true?

Not as far as I'm concerned. Britain tends to have very good produce and makes some delicious simple dishes but every time I've had a steak it's been pretty disappointing. I might have been doing it wrong of course...

Good steaks in America. From my experience best steak ever in South Africa.

NautACrazyAstro: Smarshmallow: NautACrazyAstro: They only thought they did. Wait'll they get this:

Warm. Maple. Syrup.

Then it gets my seal of approval.
