The Great US vs UK Food Debate

Discussion in 'Everything Else' started by supersonic, Jan 30, 2011.



  1. I'm dieting myself now. I'm eating 1400 calories a day and doing 2 hours a day in the gym. I know what it's like to eat shitty bland food but if you're dieting then just diet. In my mind, going on a diet you should treat food like a recovering alcoholic treats booze; just avoid it. Although, if you've got the willpower to go back to eating like a monk after binging on tasty food then power to you. I just steer clear because a diet is a diet. If you need to go on one (and i did) then NOT eating cakes and burgers isn't going to kill you.

    Good luck with your diet though.
     


  2. I've heard of this V8 stuff but have no idea what it is.
     


  3. Are you high? It's fantastic stuff....
     


  4. A health drink made out of tomato juice.
     


  5. The US also has Creole food which is unique but nothing to brag about.

    Mmmm BBQ ribs. It's a guilty pleasure I might have twice a year.

  6. Why is creole food nothing to brag about? Some of it is quite good. Are you turning traitor on us to the British now? We should start calling you Benedict Bfun.
     


  7. Creole food is fancy French chef meets homeless man living in a ditch cuisine. Unique but nothing to brag about. :p There is one restaurant around here that makes non-traditional cajun food and it's awesome but it's not the normal red beans and rice stuff.
     


  8. spotted dick doesnt just look bad, but sounds bad. I wouldnt like my food sounding like an std. you guys should really really think about renaming that.
     


  9. Cottage Pie and Shepard pie are actually pretty good. I also like the Colman mustard on my brats. I never understood why the English make the best Chinese hot mustard.
     


  10. It probably sounds appetizing to them. You're talking about people who like to put eel slime on TV dinner pot pies here.
     


  11. You're doing it wrong. British food is all horrible and American food is all great.
     


  12. Spotted dick looks like an abortion on a plate.

  13. All this negativity towards our food is starting to get boring now. Is there a reason for it?

    Anyway, some of our weird sounding foods like spotted dick were created in a time when a penis was not also called a dick.

    Eel Slime? Right. Never ever seen any food with that. That picture above is just a desert with custard on it. That black stuff is obviously a shadow of something.
     


  14. We're doing you a favor. I don't think British people have any conception of how horrible their food is compared to what the rest of the world eats. It needs to be exposed to the world and ridiculed. It's for your own good.

    These microwave TV dinner pies are covered with fluorescent green eel slime. I wonder if at the pie and mash shops they actually bring the eel out to the table and squeeze it out on your plate. It's probably kind of like waiters having Parmesan cheese graters at Italian places. You tell them how much eel slime you want on your pie.

    Microwaved frozen Stouffers pies covered in green slime. Now that's high British cuisine!
     


  15. Swedish food>British food :D
     


  16. I've liked the little bit of Swedish food I've had. Tell us more about what you guys eat.
     


  17. I have no clue what that green shit is actually, but we don't use Eel slime, that is just an old stereotype from the 1800's which you Americans like to use.
     


  18. i love your fish man! they are great!
     


  19. What did I tell you? That green shit is literally eel slime. Fucking gross dude. It's even oozing off the plate in the picture.
     


  20. Wow. I start to go crazy if I can't step outside my diet every few days. Even stuff I don't like starts to look appetizing.
