"English" cuisine leaves a lot to be desired, but even I was un-prepared for the absolute crap I was served in the US. My four years spent in the States were an education in marketing above quality. Ranch Dressing WTF is that ? I was amazed at the number of times I would be served a nice crispy salad, only for it to be destroyed by Ranch dressing. Something akin to dripping Benzene on my salad. This is not say that all food was poor, but the majority was. I was fortunate to spend some time at the Culinary Institute of America courtesy of IBM, proof that good food did exist. What did concern me was things such a dairy-free ice cream, I hear half the population of Italy wanting to have words with the Gelati imposter. Spray on butter for my popcorn, and what used to crack me up the most was the sugar-free, sodium free and of course taste-free Cola, pointless. Interesting that somebody mentioned Hershey, a bitter, hard, tasteless brown substance which could contain a nuclear spill.
What you will find in the UK is a eye watering selection of food from the world, probably because English cuisine is so bad. Go to a good Indian Tandoori and explore, if you are in London go to Wong Kei in Soho, Chinese food which is great, tastes good but poor and rude service. I you require any suggestions feel free to ask. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
