If America were still British...

Con     Fresh fruit isn't cuisine.      It is just fresh fruit. 

Howsomever, isn't cuisine a French word anyhow.  Us Canukastanians got a little frenchized over the centuries.   

Never been to England so can't comment on the actual British fare, but we do have a Pub I go to in Canada that is run by a Brit.    His fish and chips are to die for.    First thing I want (at a restaurant) when I go home.   

He has mushy peas and steak and kidney pie and other stuff too.  Can't say I like mushy peas though. 

Mushy peas are an acquired taste










As a side note, one of our local reporters has discovered that "Blighty" has some issues of its own....http://www.royalgazette.com/siftology.royalgazette/Article/article.jsp?articleId=7d9a8a730030011&sectionId=65

Oh Cripes, the Brits are giving culinary advice!

I love British cooking, boil it and salt it, or fry it and salt it 

Funny, I was thinking more of the superb curries I make.  Still, stick with your simple-minded definitions.  I suppose you think French people go round with onions on a string around their necks too.

Thing is, curry is a British invention.  the food you get in India is NOTHING like what is served here (which is delicious).

Generally, I found that food in China was ace, but westernised chinese food here sucks. But food in India was limited (good sometimes) while even a bog standard takeaway here - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's as British as texmex is American

I suppose you think French people go round with onions on a string around their necks too.

They don't?

Oh Cripes, the Brits are giving culinary advice!

You mean that there's truth to the old joke . . .

In Heaven...
the French are the cooks
the Germans are the engineers
the British are the police
the Swiss are the managers
the Italians are the lovers

In Hell...
the British are the cooks
the French are the managers
the Italians are the engineers
the Germans are the police
the Swiss are the lovers

There are two similar "Chinese proverbs" I have heard here through the years from my Chinese friends:

One is entirely domestic:
Be born in Hangzhou (Its perceived wealth, "beautiful surroundings"in Chinese minds)
Marry in Suzhou (Best women in China)
Eat in Guangzhou (Best food)
And die in xxxxzhou (I always forget the latter and the reason why, but it has something to do with funeral practices)

One is "international":
Work in America
Live in an English house
Marry a Japanese wife
And eat Chinese food.

I doubt I'd find GZ to be the best food.  I always dug Sichuan food.  When done right, it's the outstanding food in China.  When I say done right, I mean when it's good rather than just lots of chillis.
