Don't eat anything with your hands (even pizza). People will look at you like you are some kind of caveman. Speak quietly. Beer is not "cold". Yes- that's true. But first let me know where you'll be so I can let the locals know and we can all come laugh at the Americans eating pizza with a knife and fork.... No, untrue. There are some supposedly upmarket places that sell expensive pizza (along with other expensive stuff), where some people will try to eat pizza with cutlery as they think it will offend their date if they use their hands (which they would much rather do). Meanwhile their date is thinking exactly the same thing. As for the beer not being cold, that depends on what you call beer. If you like the light brown / golden / amber beers (Bud, Miller, Fosters etc.) then you want a lager - and this is generally served cold. If you like a darker beer then you want some bitter or some real ale - and this is more likely to be served at room temperature (certainly with real ale). If you go into a pub and just ask for a beer it's probable that you will only be offered the bitter & real ale options, so ask for lager if that's your thing. Or Bud - we have that. |
