Oh KC, other countries always make better food than yours, you fool!

Blapblap, your and Englishmen.....you have no say in fantastic food. Period. America is KNOWN for badass foods, you can stay on your island and keep your bangers and mash to yourself

Aye that stuff is awesome, especially to add a sweet edge in certain meat dishes.
Liver and Onions for example has never been the same without it, since Aura just randomly tried putting in some about four years ago.

Crumpets
Ginger Nuts
Hobnobs
Custard Cream
Digestive
Toad in the Hole
Real Sausage

I could go on and on...

Brits talking about culinary taste?

What's next, cats and dogs breeding together?

Anyone else notice how positively repulsing the names of those are? Brits not only need help with cooking, but with naming food.

T'would appear the colonists are getting uppity...

Kovnik, your hilarious.

And Blap, Ill give you the custard cream, thats it. Because we too have REAL sausage, so that argument is null

If you think you can out-uppity Britons...

All I see is Pigeon meat.

And, have you tasted crackling?!

Mmmmm.... Crackling....

Thats was weird, went from being the first response to fourth, I hates it when Dakka is ahead of me.

As to Bangers and Mash, whats wrong with that, good ole fashioned comfort food, well with Gravy. 'Ohh Gravy, northern boys love Gravy' damn you Soccer A.M for putting useless catchphrases inside my head.

It's part of the Great Plan.
We make food no one else likes and name it horrible things so that when the great zombie apocalypse comes along we can have a supply of food no one else does

I can't believe it took you this long to realize that real maple syrup is better than reconstituted sweetened manufacturing waste, KC.

I don't know, I'm not a fan of Gravy.

Strawberries and Cream
Proper Tea
Cornish Cream, Mr Whippy and Purbeck Ice Cream, amongst others

He missed spotted Dick and Custard.

Victoria Sponge
Fig Pudding
Custard and Crumble!

Trust me, other countries always have better food.

Yeah, get back to maple syrup, although I think Aura put that into Shepards pie as well.. tasted lovely.

But I like my lovely plastic waste!

I still remember when my Grandma went to Canada for a year and came back with about 3 bulk-buy containers of real syrup...

Kovnik, your hilarious.

Thanks!

Honestly I have no experience of British food. My sister spent a summer in London and told me the food was as atrocious as the rumors said it was. Potato sandwiches and crap that shouldn't exist like that. So I perpetuate the prejudice ^^

OT, real maple syrup is a blessing to us all in the North. Nothing beats snow frozen syrup after a day of skiing.

Proper Tea

And for that your people will enter the great annals of those who advanced Mankind. But one masterpiece doesn't excuse making a trolley of horrible thingies and pretend they go in your mouth.

Yea we have maple syrup farms here in Michigan, but the bottle I bought says real Canadian syrup, so the praise goes to you lot




Its crazy, its got an almost smokey flavor, and I can actually taste a bit of wood in there as well. Just fantastic. Ill never go back to the fake gak, no matter the cost difference.

I've always assosiated maple syrup with Vermont, and Canada with Gravy Fries, tittie bars, and Molsens. To each his own I suppose.

I must admit, this reminds me that Aura keeps saying she'll get an american Pancake recipe down off the net and do some, and I think that time is now.. well this Saturday.

Need to try the syrup on a good thick pancake.

Maple Syrup- the reason we go through the effort of keeping Quebec.

Not saying the Canadians are the ONLY place that makes the stuff, as I mentioned, so does Michigan, but I really only heard this FROM the Canadian posters here on DAKKA.

I've always assosiated maple syrup with Vermont, and Canada with Gravy Fries, tittie bars, and Molsens. To each his own I suppose.

"The Canadian province of Quebec is by far the largest producer, responsible for about three-quarters of the world's output; Canadian exports of maple syrup exceed C$145 million (approximately US$141 million) per year. Vermont is the largest producer in the United States, generating about 5.5 percent of the global supply."

-Wiki, god of popular and easily accessed knowledge.

One of the advantages of this area having a good number of North American folks, is its easy to track down American foodstuff.

Ipswich has an actual store that sells nothing but American Brands, but I haven't been able to get there yet.
