But it's ok for you to come in here trolling about American food safety while defending literally mad cow disease island, and troll about Americans not leaving the country or about British food being available and desired "all over the world," then you get upset when people point out basic facts to you.
In that same vain, why is it ok for Americans to keep making these troll topics with the mods doing fuck all? If it was Brits making these topics about shitting on American food they would get modded by now.
Because that would be incorrect statement of fact, i.e. trolling.Ha! Gottem!!

Though the best fish and chips I've ever had was from an Irish pub. Heck some of the best food I've ever had was from Irish pubs. I've had some killer chicken quesadillas from one and a burger.
The irony being that the French have been making great donuts and pastries for hundreds of years. Its just about the only thing they do well.
Fun fact: in the UK it is now illegal to import Pop Tarts from the USA. Lol.

Also, a line outside a new shop/restaurant means nothing. The first McDonald's in Moscow had a long line, lol..
That's a key fact. In the UK, you can go into almost any pub in the country (there are thousands of them), and the chances are you'll find a very large menu full of fresh food cooked from scratch on the premises.
That's because the Soviets wanted to taste freedom.
And I know, Europeans hate American cuisine. Until they visit the US, and then they invariably stuff themselves on basically everything we have and every regional variety of where they are visiting like their lives depend on it.
I've never been to England, but based on what I've seen of their food and what I've eaten in the US I feel like American restaurants that feature UK fare do those dishes better than how you'd get them in the UK. I'm sure there are exceptions, but yeah.

Foreigners do that in every country. Food is one of the main reasons that people like to travel. Dont flatter yourself by thinking its exclusive to your country.
At least you start by indicating that you have no idea what youre talking about.

Don't get me wrong and assume I'm taking some idiot nationalist stance - I'd love to visit and go to all kinds of restaurants. Eating while traveling is the best. If I got proven wrong that'd be awesome.

But for me it's the same type of idea as Philly cheese steaks. I bet there's some place in Wisconsin or something that does a Philly style cheese steak that's just as good or better than one you'd get in Philly. The conceit of location is way overblown.
Speaking of conceit and being snooty: assuming your defensiveness means you're from the UK, are you one of those folks that sees sausage gravy and goes "that's not gravy! Gravy's brown! "?
One stereotype about US food that I have found true is that the portion size is fucking ridiculous.
Do people eat that much, or is there a lot of waste? Is it just a way for them to charge more?
Pasta lol. You call it noodles ffsThey gotta call Spaghetti Bolognese spag bol because otherwise they might remember its ethnic.

TBF US Biscuits and Gravy look like someones vomited over some scones.
I'm sure it tastes good, but I don't know how anyone can think it looks good.I get that. It looks great to me, but some dishes only look appetizing if you've grown up with them.

Italian is hardly ethnicIt is if you aren't Italian. Being normalized in your mind doesn't make it not ethnic.
It is if you aren't Italian. Being normalized in your mind doesn't make it not ethnic.Spaghetti bolognaise is not part of Italian cuisine.
It is if you aren't Italian. Being normalized in your mind doesn't make it not ethnic.Literally what are you on about

Remove the pudding and add some eggs and you've got yourself a typical breakfast don't you?
Beans, mushrooms, and tomatoes are a typical breakfast? No.This man has a Bowl of Beans. A Bowl of Beans for Breakfast.
I never understood the "lol beans for breakfast" stuff. I fucking love beans. Everyone should love beans. Beans are an anytime food. A classic Venezuelan breakfast plate has beans and it's amazing.I hate beans tbh
That's a key fact. In the UK, you can go into almost any pub in the country (there are thousands of them), and the chances are you'll find a very large menu full of fresh food cooked from scratch on the premises.Thing is I live in America. And it wasn't just one Irish pub but two and they both had killer food fresh cooked. Not just fresh cooked but these people really knew how to cook. High praise coming from me because I love to cook and I have high standards for taste.
But nobody ever said "I wanna go to America because I wanna eat burgers for every meal for 14 days straight".The thing is America is so big and there's so many people that cook that yes lots of it is bad but that's part of what makes it good. America's is a giant melting pot of culture of people from all over the world. New food is literally being created here. And the options for good food are limitless. Any place that claims to have the best food is bullshitting you. You got to check reviews or ask the locals their favorite places.
Notice also, I didn't say I hated American food - I've eaten in over 25 states, including some restaurants that claimed to be best-in-state. Some of it was ok. But half of it is shit. And nearly all of it is unhealthy.
I hate beans tbhDon't you hate everything though? Mans said you hate salt and butter
This man has a Bowl of Beans. A Bowl of Beans for Breakfast.If you're eating beans like Mexican or Brazilian... Or any Latin American country than eating with rice you're eating good
I hate beans tbhOk, but you should love them.
Don't you hate everything though? Mans said you hate salt and butterYeah there's a lot of stuff I don't like but it also depends on usage. I will eat beans in some dishes such as beans in chili but just plain old beans on their own, no. And beans on toast just sounds revolting, the whole point of toast is the crunch, you're gonna get that toast soggy with the beans and ruin it.
Ok, but you should love them.No.
TBF US Biscuits and Gravy look like someones vomited over some scones.Have you ever actually even eaten it or are you just going to shit all over it?

If you're eating beans like Mexican or Brazilian... Or any Latin American country than eating with rice you're eating goodMy wife is Brazilian and when she cooks we are having rice and beans with everything. Steak, potato, salad, rice and beans. Hamburger, fries, rice and beans.

I sense my UK brethren are gonna be up in arms about this but frankly I agree.
The issue isn't that good food doesn't exist in the UK. Of course it does. And good food culture exists too of course, if you look for it.
The issue is that - historically and in a general culture sense -brits are ANTI food culture. Like we are collectively embarrassed about good food.
We are probably the only country in the world where you take something nice and homemade into the office and someone calls you a tosser for it. Like la di da, look at Mr fancy pants over here with his sourdough bread.
Yeah, people really get like this. I've stopped talking about what I make for lunch because I'm tired of being called a wanker because my lunch isn't a 3 microwave ready meal from tescos.
Cant say that I ever experienced anything like that when I lived there. Maybe you just work with a bunch of dickheads?
