Right, American Steak proper hamburger, yep had some of those in a proper sit down place, very good but a man cannot eat steak alone. What used to enrage me was something called Monterray Jack "cheese" ugh, I am sure the EPA would have something to do with that.
Safeway, no longer exists was taken over by Morrisons. Use Sainsburys or Waitrose. much better. Cell phone nope call it a mobile, Tmobile do SIM only one month rolling cards for about 20 pounds a month, good value. And to the poster who told you to avoid the Fried English Breakfast, No Way!!! Fried eggs, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms, romato and proper bacon ( I have no idea WTF bacon is in the US but it does not come from something which used to have a Central nervous system. However I do miss JOLT Cola, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

And to the poster who told you to avoid the Fried English Breakfast, No Way!!! Fried eggs, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms, romato and proper bacon ( I have no idea WTF bacon is in the US but it does not come from something which used to have a Central nervous system. Not the "fried" breakfast, the "traditional English" breakfast or sometimes the "fry up". But why did you neglect to mention the blood pudding (gag)? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) And that those bangers are gruel stuffed and then marinated overnight in oil, and that those fried eggs are served covered with a fine sauce of glistening hot oil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) What you refer to as "baked beans" are known here as canned "pork and beans", and together with warmly sauteed tomatoes? (blech, retch retch). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I do give you the bacon, though. The U.S. bacon is really belly meat (pork bellies) while the English bacon is what we refer to as Canadian bacon (almost ham) with a piece of belly meat attached, kind of dangling. I like both. But the blood pudding? For breakfast? While fighting a hangover? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Screw the Queen, God save us all. In all honesty I don't think the English even eat that traditional breakfast any more. These days I think it's served in hotels, and mostly to tourists. EDIT: Before I offend everyone who's English please note in my earlier post I said I do like most "modern" English food. But I think most everyone agrees that the old traditional stuff left a lot to be desired. (I'm trying to be diplomatic in my choice of words there). And that I'm also in full agreement that a lot of our chain restaurants in the U.S., and some of our traditional meals, aren't real good. Unless of course you're trying to keep your weight up, in which case they have no equal. |
