Come to the US and try. I have yet to meet a Brit who isn't offended at the fare offered in his homeland after a visit to the US.

You know what the US has that blows all their minds? Canned biscuits. YES, we don't have to make them from scratch. We get them in a can.

But I do like a few of the candy bars in the UK better. The Mars has the caramel blended into the nougat. I like that better. And the SNickers has more of the caramel flavor in it. As long as you don't try to give me an Aero, we are cool.

Hello bft, I have met lot's of Americans but I have never had the pleasure of going to The States.
When I do get to visit I want to go to the "real" US and to avoid the more well known, "touristy" places, (even though I'm certain they would be enjoyable I prefer to see and experience the "day to day", I think it is then possible to get to know and understand things and people better).
Your hospitality is well known and I'm sure that the fare offered up would be more than satisfactory.

Biscuits in a can? Not sure about that, we do get packets of biscuits, I'd love to try them one day.

Not much of a chocolate man myself, I have a savoury tooth but do enjoy the odd bar, strangely enough, Mars bars are my favourite, (but not deep fried which is something of a delicacy in parts of Scotland along with believe it or not deep fried doner kekab and almost anything else!)

Slayer, I am certain that US regulations prohibit putting in some of the most unsavoury parts of an animals body into sausages for human consumption.
But what the hell, I like them and try not to think about.

With the world getting smaller by the day it is possible to sample the culinary delights of almost any country even in a backwater North East England town like where I live.

However, as stated in my reply to bft, when I do eventually get to visit the US I can't wait to sample homegrown US food.

A friend of mine once toured the US with his band and he has told me that it is possible to get the most unbelievably tasty food at some of the most rundown joints with no customers and then further down the road the same sort of place would serve up what can only be described as slops but the locals absolutely loved it and the place would be packed.

It was my friend and his bandmates and roadies who first told me about Americans eating pancakes with syrup for breakfast, something I just can't imagine me doing! (They are nice once a year, Shrove or Pancake Tuesday, and then as a dessert!)

Black pudding:

en.wikipedia.org...
www.sausagelinks.co.uk...
www.youtube.com...

The youtube video is definately worth watching.

An interesting variant on Black Pudding is, funnily enough, White Pudding:

en.wikipedia.org...


In return, what the hell are "grits" and what on earth is the stuff served up at US roadside cafe's that looks like really runny and sloppy mashed potato?


Edit: Bad spelling due to drooling over Black Pudding and the thought of tomorrow mornings FEB!

Your Mars bars are different than ours. In teh US, Mars is a Snickers with almonds instead of peanuts. I like it better...but the UK version sans almonds isn't so bad.

I was incorrect, and stand corrected. Its "Marmite". Yellow label, black jar, reminds me of a jar of yeast (isn't that what it basically is?). Horrid stuff, unless you need a good fish bait. LOL

If you ever do visit the states, i would be happy to throw a locally grown, USDA certified Prime Ribeye steak on a mesquite grill for you. I get 1.5 lb USDA Prime Black Angus steaks for about $7 at the local slaughter house. And the mesquite tree grows in my alley (lots of them).

GOD I LOVE TEXAS!

Wow, never seen/heard of Black Pudding before... BLOOD.... AHHH....


Breakfast is the best meal of the day...

You need something with some kick to it...


In todays world, i think the Average American Breakfast for our Children, is a doghnut, and a soda pop... YUK... that could answer MANY questions about our world...



Now for Breakfast, i have a SPECIALTY sandwhich i make, i inventened it myself...

It Called, The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwhich, or a BFBS(Big F-in Breakfast Sandwhich)

You take 3 peices of Bread, toast 2 of them, cut a hole out of the third, and fry an egg in it

Then, you scramble 2 eggs up, with all the SPecialites added(I add Cream cheese, Ham, onions, and sometimes Bell peppers...

Now, with the Eggs scrabling, you need to either fry up some Ham, or bacon...


so heres how you lay it out after...

With the 2 peices of Toast, put the ham or bacon down, and then the scrambled eggs on top, then you can add whatever Hot-sauce to it, on top of the scrambled eggs, then put the 3rd peice of bread(the one with the EGG frying in it), then put the 2 toasted peices together, with the 3rd in the middle... and BOOM...


You got the BFBS... A messy, delicious sandwhich...

I make this think every once in a while... its legendary...

You need 3-4 eggs
3 frying pans(for best work)(1 for eggs, 1 for the bread with an egg in it, 1 for the ham)
toaster
some cream cheese
some vegtables
some meat (hamm or bacon)
hot sauce


Make this for your friends, and they will LOVE you... this thing beats ANY OTHER breakfast... in messiness, and deliciousness... I guess it would be a bad idea for kids...

Its Messy... the egg, in the middle of the bread should be VERY runny... and the hot sauce, should be plentyful...

ADD a HUGE glass of Orange Jucie, and about 20 napkins...


Thats my idea of a BOMB breakfast, thats a breakfast for a big day, a test, a big date, a sporting event... this isnt a breakfast if your going to sit around all day...

Next, i will go into detail on the Ultimate Breakfast Burrito, of, the BFB... ill let you guess what it means...

Bastard ! I just read your post and now I'm slavering like Amy Winehouse gettting in a police van. For f**** sake dude it's five to eleven at night I dropped my 2 last eggs on the floor this evening, and have been trying to avoid bacon so have none.

You utter bastard, I know I wont sleep now and will probably be dragging my kid to tesco 24 at 2 am !

Bingo so far you are the one closes to the truth.

Yes this is base on what was available back in the days, but also the eggs and bacon was followed by plenty of buttermilk and stone ground bread.

People usually didn't have anything else to eat as they usually spend most of their time in their fields working.

Late supper was the next meal for them.

So the fat, protein and carbohidrates was well used by the body, today is not so.
