    It's true that buscuits and sausage-gravy is the finest breakfast.

    I'm almost willing to look the other way at the whole slavery thing because of that breakfast.

    Janson I love to eat fish and chips, especially while listening to classical music and viewing fine art.
    I don't think this was sarcasm.

    Chopin and other piano pieces mostly, I'm not a Scriabin whore like some folk around here.

    Yeah, it's not as if I've not had pizza and pasta in Italy, or steak in Denmark (the Danish do great steaks), or goulash and dumplings in the Czech Republic (amazing) or wines and cheeses in France, or have even eaten a few traditional American foods.

    Our curries are anaemic; that's true. The vast majority of the takeaway Indians around here produce very mild, bland stuff but I'd sure eat the spicier ones if they were available. You're better off making your curry here.

    We produce some good pies (if you're a fan of pastry, which I'm not) and I love good roast vegetables (parsnip is an example of a very traditional English veg which I find super-tasty). There are also decent versions of many European dishes but really if you eat out in the UK it's not as if there's a huge demand for British restaurants - because mother makes them best :P Pub food has its charms.

    But, like I say, our cookies and cakes are often in demand, and I love some of the sponge desserts we produce, too.

    tikka masala is good, and that's a pseudo-british invention

    Satisfying Americans with cooking is easy

    Just add lots of cheese/. Really cheap cheese

    I don't fall for that. I demand cheese that is at least actually cheese.

    I hate Fish and Chips.

    Abomination of good food.

    :^:

    As long as we're talking about biscuits (or cookies): Shortbread. Mmmh...

    So simple, yet deadly.

    Has to be all-butter, though! You can't make shortbread with margarine, it loses all flavour

    James - I love Chopin, so that's okay

    Really I don't like potato, I've never been sure why it's so popular. Parnsip and sweet potatoes make better crisps and chips by far! I have a real sweet potato craving, mmm...

    Margarine is a crime against man. It's horrible for you, tastes like shite and is a pain in the ass to cook with.

    My dog is bleeding out of the leg, and every time I go outside to try to bandage it or something, he starts wagging his tail and running away from me, eventually hiding under the deck because he's afraid I'm going to make him come in the house.

    My dog is stupid.

    Hey, all you English people.

    STOP PUTTING ENGLISH PEAS ON EVERY PLATE YOU SERVE.

    Seriously, they're disgusting.

    See, tikka masala is another food I don't really like. It's a very poor compromise between two flavours of food and, again, it's bland.

    Oh! Tools! Tools->Macro has these options:
    Macros (Alt+F8)
    Record New
    Security
    Visual Basic Editor
    Microsoft Script Editor


    And none of those bring back the window I am looking for.

    You can call your pancakes pancakes and flapjacks flapjacks when and only when they are superior to the British versions

    As of now pretty much every American version of a British food is completely inferior

    man what

    so far as i can see the only good british food is the english breakfast with the tomatoes and whatnot

    and even that is rivaled by the classic southern biscuits and gravy and pancakes

    so i dunno what you're all about sister!
    Janson has a lot of British pride.

    Seriously, shut the fuck up

    You know far, far less than you think
    It's almost a point of pride that I'm the only person you're a bitch to on the boards and what I said was in no way inaccurate or insulting.

    Speaking as an American that lived in England for a year, it's no joke. I don't particularly like most American food, save for Reubens and the aforementioned biscuits and gravy, but I was so happy to get a decent steak when I came back.

    That's not a racial bias. It's a cultural bias.
