--- Quote from: Educated Thug on July 08, 2005, 01:31:41 AM ---nah i dont care really, just got rep your countries food, if you were french then we'd b havin a different conversation.. fuck knows how they slated us for bad cuisine when the love to eat snails, frogg legs and other dirt things...
--- End quote ---
please dont compare french cuisine to english grub... even the quality of food isnt so flash in the U.K... dont mean to hate, i love the U.K and it's people, but the food is hard to handle, no hot'n'spicy in the kfc, quality of vegetables is poor (tomatoes are green ffs), the difference is noticable when i leave u.k to france, everyday people in france can cook good shit up...
i lived with a mexican dude, and he couldnt stand livin with the English fam he was with coz he couldnt stand the food... i couldve stayed with my gf's folks forever with their food...
now even in Australia the quality of junk food is ALOT better than england, maybe its becasue we have better conditions to grow veggies and we have hectares of pasteurized land that cows roam free on...
and dont think you have fish'n'chips to be proud of, come to Australia and i will take you to a fish n chip shop, where they fry up fresh fish, not frozen hake or wteva disgusting shit the brits use... even all the english people i met agreed with me they think british food is 'pants'...
p.S: i doubt U.S food is much better than the U.K, U.S is the fattest population in the world, replace backed beans for hot-dogs and you got the U.S...
AfterMathematics:
I heard the Indian food in London is some of the best in the world.
