Do any other nations 'go for an English?'

[Captain Turdseye]

Have you heard how people from Stoke speak?

My mate moved to Stoke a while back. Within a year his bird (who was previously quite tidy) had ballooned to about 18 stone and he had a nervous breakdown. That's what Stoke does to people.

Paella is phenomenal but Italian food is comfortably the best.

 

Frys and roasts are obviously ace but I find stews, cottage pies and the like to be utterly depressing.

Why?

[Jairzinho]

Why?

 

Just find it really dull food.

[Bjornebye]

I agree with Jair.

[PestiRed]

There's loads of great English food like Beef Wellington, Cumberland sausages, Yorkshire puddings, Steak and Kidney Pie etc. Throw in the ret of the islands and you've got Welsh Rarebit, and lamb, Scottish smoked salmon, Donegal oysters

 

British food is under-rated

 

 

 

 

Edit: nearly forgot, the British are also ace at cheese which always gets forgotten

[General Dryness]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Pesti

[PestiRed]

Also I had a Beef Wellington Burger at Terry's Turf Club in the States. They need to make these everywhere, just unbelievably good

It's true, you appreciate all that stuff more when you can't have them - especially roasts on a Sunday

[General Dryness]

What's the normal Sunday dinner there?

They only eat oatcakes with cheese and bacon over there, which might explain the ballooning weight. Those things are bloody lovely though.

They don't seem to have a specific tradition like a roast, just traditional dishes that they might happen to have on a Sunday. Most families I know tend to go out to a restaurant on Sunday's so everyone just gets what they want

Pesti knows.

Sickening the idea of choice on a Sunday. 

 

They don't even get yer nans' soggy attempt of a Yorkshire Pudding and have to pretend it wasn't cooked by a clown who swerved Aunt Betties. 

[rubble-rouser]

Homemade Shephards/Cottage Pie is the food of the gods. Even the frogs will appreciate (secretly) that.

 

I never eat French food despite them being up their own arses about it. Much rather Indian, Thai, Italian, Greek, English etc than eat their rancid snail trails and frog arseholes in garlic excrement.

 

Also Paella is shit, the Spanish need to raise their game on that score. Give me one big hearty meal rather than a few bites of chorizo.

 

Good Paella is the food of the gods. Shit paella is just food poisoning.

I bet going for an English means drinking anything you can(has to be over a gallon) in five minutes or less before eating a kebab and throwing it up into a gutter soon afterwards before ending up in said gutter before being arrested for exposing your genitals and spending the night in the cells.

Same goes for the men too!

But Julian Cook, the Claire Sweeney professor of ghastliness at Reading University, said: “The French are not regarded as more sophisticated than us because they have cafés and nice weather, it’s because you tend not to find that many French women being vigorously pumped behind a wheelie bin while vomiting into their own knickers.

British food cooked well matches any cuisine in the world.

And you've been away too long. The availability of great food has never been better

Sometimes you concern me, Pesti

French women have hairy pits. 

[Jairzinho]

English women have hairy tits.

[TheHowieLama]

And you are worried about the food.

[Robbo29]

Was going out with a south african bird, it was christmas and she cooked a full christmas turkey roast, with all the trimmings. with the inclusionof boiled rice, told her that it was an abomination before god and ate it all apart from the rice. she had never had a chip butty either!

[PestiRed]

But did they have sauce on the rice or was this pre-Jamie Oliver?

[PestiRed]

Sometimes you concern me, Pesti

It was a burger that tasted exactly like a Beef Wellington with cheese added to it. How can that be anything but wonderful?

[Bjornebye]

The french are better than us at most things.

[cloggypop]

They are shite at music and wearing shorts bigger than Speedos in a swimming pool.
