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

I think Wonder_Hippie just posted that to show us how he strategically positions his chemistry homework so as to maximize the chances that it will be nibbled on in order to get an extension.
I didn't think the British were particularly well known for decent cooking.
They aren't. Aside from fish and chips, everything there is flavorless and fried. It's like they've never heard of spices. Going from there to India was some serious tastebud shock.
So, in Excel 2003, how do I get that little Macro window to come back? You know, once you click Record Macro, a little box with Stop Recording and Relative Cell Position buttons appears on the screen. I closed that box and can't get it to come back. It doesn't appear when I click the Record Macro button anymore.
What happens when you press alt+F8?
That brings up the Macro dialogue box, where I can choose Macros I've made and edit them, delete them, and whatnot. It's not what I was talking about. The window thing I'm talking about is much smaller than that and only has two buttons on it--Stop Recording and Relative Cell References, and an x to close the window.

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!
The British stay on their rainy little pile of dirt their entire lives so as to not be exposed to the vast vast variety of things the rest of the world does better than them. This is the only explanation for thinking British cooking is good.
Fish and chips is our worst food, with few exceptions.
I grew up with home cooking, and NOTHING was fried except for a few breakfast items.
Spices are used in plenty of dishes, although the majority of traditional meals do contain mostly meat and veg (sorry, is there something wrong with vegetables?) and British food is also renowned in the cakes/cookies/dessert department, which is what most people request.
I mean when an American says 'mm I love fish and chips' who is really the one with taste?

What about BBQ pulled pork? The South is good for that.
That I could live without. I'd rather live somewhere where I didn't have to drive an hour for a decent pizza. Everything around here is a chain, but I can't even get Papa John's.

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.

That's what you get. Maybe next time you'll have learned your lesson and know better than to go anywhere near the south unless you're not planning to be there more than a week.

What about Canadian versions? We turned pancakes into pancakes with maple syrup, and turned french fries into poutine.
I couldn't taste sweet for like 2 weeks

Thanks though.
Posters included. I'm hungry. :P

Extras>Macro>red dot?
That's ridiculous. Our biscuits are way more delicious than yours.
It's a good thing you live so far away from me.
Abomination of good food.

Sorry, I get mixed up with my wars, being an American and all.
Yea, I am very easily distracted. It's a bad thing.

Just add lots of cheese/. Really cheap cheese
What is this Extras of which you speak?

As long as we're talking about biscuits (or cookies): Shortbread. Mmmh...
So simple, yet deadly.

Seriously, shut the fuck up
You know far, far less than you think
