The_Sponge: Spotted dick is yummy, but it gave me a horrible case of the farts.

You need to bend more at the knees next time. He had a bad angle.

/oh that spotted dick

Haha, I used to have a can of spotted dick that I would put on people's desk when they were out for the folks dropping by to discuss something

It's always an adventure when you never know who will be the first to vomit post consumption.

More like courguettes on their toad in the hole.

I read that whole stupid article, mostly about cook books and not any real mention of adventurous food.

I did like that part where she not so subtly suggests that she masturbates to Gordon Ramsay's craggy face.

I might have a craggy face, if I wasn't so fat.

Even when TFA explains the ridiculousness of the Fark conception of British cooking, there are still morons on Fark who believe the same tired bullshiat.

Why I love Fark: threads like this make me feel a whole lot smarter.

Thread Jack: anyone tried that shrimp taco @ taco bell?

I though the Brits had abandoned all efforts to maintain their own national cuisine, and just kind-of adopted India's instead.

Yes, it's good, but not worth the price.

Come on now, that isn't fair. Usually, I put a slice of ham under the beans. Delicious meal.

/because McGreasy McBreakfast is better

I didn't read the article, but I just wanted to say that Nigella Lawson is delicious.

As an American thats been living here for 7 or so years I agree that the old quip of "British food sucks" doesnt hold much weight anymore. You can get a freshly prepared meal of almost any cuisine in any mid sized city. Now in the states, you get mostly frozen food loaded with sugar and salt. Obviously its not a catch-all as people will come in here and say, "Nuh-uh, I went to London and the worst foot EVAR!!" Do a little research and get out of Zone 1 and you will have some really great food.

no no no,

Cook them beans the day before in a pot with a little salt and oil, then reheat 'em serve 'em with fried potatoes, fresh hot tortillas, some fried eggs and hot sauce of your choice and then you have a breakfast.

I've had some UK breakfasts described to me in disturbing detail by friends who have been there. Granted, it was only a couple of people and a couple of examples, but it was certainly not something I found even slightly appetizing.

Britain has lots of "cookery" books? Why? How many ways can you boil meat for 6 hours?

You haven't lived until you've eaten fried egg, bacon, sausage, fried bread, tomato, mushrooms and black pudding done by an upmarket British hotel. Or my mum.

theres more than the Angus Steak House in zone one sunshine - try going here (new window) next time you're near the city - the bone marrow and parsley salad will stop your heart dead, but it's worth it. proper man food.

Never had scrapple... I can't wait to visit America because I am genuinely excited to sample the food.

Needs more chorizo.

and if I'm going to be eating anything from the monster manual, it's going to be manticore. (Tarasque takes FOREVER to cook, longer than mole even. )

where are you going, which part? tip: visit farmer's markets. great for local lunch specialties

You aren't helping your case whatsoever.

Ignorant subby is ignorant. There's good food in America, but it's harder to find than it is in Britain. The UK isn't as dominated by oversized, processed-casual-food crapholes like Outgarden PFriday's Chang Chilirabba's.

Traditional British food is good, too, as long as it's not the tourist version served in cut-price hotels around Paddington station.

...and hippies selling clothes that make a 3 wolves tee shirt look like a suit and tie.

The only good things Britain produces are Newcastle Brown Ale and soccer hooligans.

my S.O. is a septic and ive seen some strange crap as a result - you crazy people pour syrup on perfectly good bacon. Syrup. On bacon... why?

Grand road trip as far as I can make it from East to West. I may get stuck in New Orleans, if the food is as good as I hear.

If you get the proper Heinz beans its really, really farking good. The can looks like this:



They are nothing like American baked beans. The closest thing I can think of for the sauce is Spaghettios sauce. Heat them up, put them on buttered toast and top with shredded cheese ftw.

I'll just leave this here (new window).

/British cooking can't be all that bad, right?
//I mean, roast beef

British food is fine; it's the British people I can't stand.

which makes it easy to find good food here.

Stand on your car, if you can see more than 3 signs for that particular place, don't eat there. If the place has a theme song, don't eat there. If you have seen their mascot dance on TV, don't eat there.

theoutlaw: I may get stuck in New Orleans, if the food is as good as I hear.

it's better.

and if you are in the south and happen upon a sweaty old black man cooking meat over a smoky pit along the side of the road, stop immediately and buy whatever he's selling.

See, that actually sounds pretty tasty. I haven't ever tried black pudding, but I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to trying new things.

The nauseating descriptions I was initially provided with involved things essentially swimming in tubs of grease. I haven't even eaten at Barfy McRaunchy's in 15 years, so my tolerance for grease-soaked food is pretty low.

"Soccer"

Behave.

Well this might also be due to the fact that American cooking normally incorporating other nation's cooking.
